§ 6. Colonel Wedgwoodasked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether Eri Jabotinsky has been included amongst the imprisoned Revisionists in Palestine who have been released?
§ Mr. George HallNo, Sir. The persons recently released were those who had been detained on account of the campaign of political terrorism that took place in the spring of 1939. Mr. Jabotinsky was not among their number.
§ Colonel WedgwoodIs not this a good opportunity for treating Mr. Eri Jabotinsky, who is only guilty of having saved the lives of 2,000 Jews from the Danube, as being equally innocent with the rest of the Revisionists who were arrested and have been released? Why this persistent persecution of Mr. Eri Jabotinsky?
§ Mr. HallI can assure my right hon. and gallant Friend that this matter is constantly before us, and I will bring his question to the attention of my Noble Friend.
§ Colonel WedgwoodWill my hon. Friend draw the attention of the Secretary of State particularly to the case of Mr. Eri Jabotinsky, in view of the fact that this man's father is doing his best to help this country?
