and Lebanese American Federation of the Eastern States :
The Feminine Federation of Lebanon, which represents 51 women’s Societies, is very anxious
to bring to your attention the case of the Palestinian refugees; their situation is getting so acute, the
world over must only be but compassionate.
Your Federation does not interfere in politics, but the Palestinian case is much more a
humanitarian question than anything else. We have in Lebanon, your forefathers’ homeland, over
one-hundred and forty thousand of human beings that have been thrown out of their country and are
now homeless and penniless.
The «Feminine Federation of Lebanon» most urgently begs your Committee: to expose to the
United States Government the pitiful situation of our unhappy brethren who only ask to return to
their homeland, at least to that part of Palestine which is still under Arab rule.
We firmly hope that your intervention and success will be the prime realization of your
congress, which is the first of its kind.
The whole of Lebanon has approved, most warmly, your resolutions and ideals, you sons and
heirs of our dear old land.
President of the « Federation
Feminine du Liban »
