Commenting on the recent prom-
ise by Il Duce to Foreign Secre-
tary Eden to prohibit such propa-
ganda, the columnist said "the
achievement is largely due to New
York's famous Italian mayor, Sig-
nor La Guardia, whose position is
largely dependent on a big Jew-
ish vote. Jewish leaders urged
Le Guardia to warn 11 Duce that
a policy hostile to Zionism would
greatly prejudice the status of the
Italian colony in New York and
America generally. The mayor
responded readily. Rome pays
considerable heed to his views,
despite his personal anti-Fascism,
shown by his recent remarks
about Hitler.'"

cent the Jews can revive. The
General Zionist daily Haaretz
declared that if the aim of Zion-
ism had been merely to obtain
the sanction and rights for the
existence of a commonwealth,
then the Royal Commission re-
port might have been an approach
to such a goal. But it points out
that the aspiration of Zionism
means the redemption of a peo-
ple and a land. Asserting that
the Mandate is a holy trust given
to England, Haaretz warns the
British government that the Jew-
ish pople will not be alone in its
struggle to maintain this trust.
The liaboker charges that the
British administration in Pales-
tine never enabled the fulfillment
of the Mandate, and argues that
it is therefore impossible to say
the Mandate cannot be fulfilled.
The paper expresses the hope
that the Zionist Executive will
wage a most intensive struggle
against the report. The Pales-
tine Daily Post also disputes the
conclusion of the commission that
the Mandate is unworkable, charg-
ing that it was never given a fair
trial because its saboteurs were
rewarded and its supporters were
discouraged. The Post asserts
that the proposed Jewish state
would be decapitated without
Jerusalem, the settlements near
the Jordan severed and the Ruten-
berg and Dead Sea concessions
placed under dual management.
Al Liwa, organ of the Grand
Mufti, declared partition robs the
Arab state of its harbors and adds
that the Arabs will not be pushed
into the hills, constituting only
a minority. Falastin, Christian-
Arab daily, urges restraint and
patience until after the conven-
ing of the Zionist Congress, whose
decisions will have an important
influence on the partition scheme.
It is reported that the reaction
of the average Arab is that agree-
ment with the Jews is prefer-
able to partition..Auni Bey Ab-
dul Hadi, general secretary of
the Arab Higher Committee,
characterized the report as "ap-
palling," declaring that the Arabs
will not give up one inch of land
in the division of the country.
Ragheb Bey Nashashibi, leader
of the Arab opposition, said the
report does not fulfill Arab as-
pirations.
In marked contrast to the
vigorous campaign that is now
being waged by the Hebrew
press of Palestine against the
partition scheme, ■ newspaper
published in Nathanya and
called Doer Hayom, of which

Labor Wins 89 of Total of 124
Palestine Delegates
Unofficial tabulations of the
ballots cast for Palestine dele-
gates to the World Zionist Con-
gress indicated the Labor had
won 89 places or three-fourths of
the 124 representatives which the
country is to have at the Zurich
assembly next August. The oth-
er parties were said to have ob-
tained the following representa-
tion: Mizrachi, 4 seats; State
Party, 1; Union of General Zion-
ists, 7; Hapoel Hamizrachi, 13;
Confederation of General Zion-
ists, 4; and Progressives or Kid-
mah, 5.
A dramatic incident manifest-
ing the spirit of determination
among Jewish immigrants not to
give up land for the proposed
Arab state occurred in the col-
ony of Batelem. Settled on July
5 by German immigrants on Jew-
ish National Fund land on the
Eastern shore of Lake Kinner-
eth—which is part of the terri-
tory proposed for the new Arab
state by the Royal Commission—
the colony sent a message to Dr.
Chaim Weizmann and David Ben
Gurion in London, declaring that
its settlers would not "budge"
from the land. The message read:
"We support your decisive strug-
gle. Our occupation here signi-
fies that we shall never budge
from this spot."
U. S. Studies Situation
WASHINGTON, D. C. (WNS)
—London reports that United
States Ambassador Bingham is
keeping in close touch with the
Palestine situation on insructions
from Washington were confirmed
here by Secretary of State Hull
who admitted he had been flood-
ed with telegraphic and written
protests from Jews and Jewish
organiations urging American in-
tervention against partition. Mr.
Hull declined to indicate what ac-
tion the government would take
but from usually reliable sources
it was learned that for [he time
being the state department is
merely studying the situation,
giving serious consideration to
all protests and withholding any
defienite step until after the

tition proposal. •
Opinion in Poland Divides
WARSAW (WNS) — Wee
government circles and the non-
Jewish press, including the anti-
Semitic papers, are unanimous in
assailing the Royal Commission's
report, Jewish opinion is divided.
The pro-Zionist Ilaint leans to-
ward accepting approval calling
upon its readers to "share with
us a wonderful feeling of hope
and joy filling every Jewish
heart" because of the material-
ization of the Jewish state. The
Peale-Zion organ, Neue Wort,
warns against Ifeing misled by the
glitter of a Jewish state. The
Moment, which has Revisionist
leanings, is critical of the re-
port but declares partition should
not be rejected. The Revision-
ists are up in arms over the re-
port. Government circles and the
anti-Semitic press are bitter be-
cause they see in the circum-
scribed boundaries of the propos-
ed Jewish state a death blow to
hopes for Palestine as a future
outlet for Polish-Jewish immigra-
tion. It is reported that Poland
will oppose the partition plan 'in
the League of Nations unless the
Jewish state is given more room.
A special world congress of
Jews, not the Zionist Congress,
should be convened to decide on
what Jews should do about the
proposed partition of Palestine
and the establishment of a Jew-
ish state, it was suggested here
by Rabbi Isaac Nissenbaum, lead-
er of the Polish Mizrachl.
Throughout Poland Jewish groups
have adopted resolutions protest-
ing partition. The anti-Semitic
press is also opposed, one paper,

pose that the Palestine mandate

Attacked by Wise
NEW YORK (WNS) — The
"gravest betrayal of a most sac-
red trust" is how Dr. Stephen
S. Wise, president of the Zionist
organization of America, char-
acterized the British government's
dicision to partition Palestine and
to terminate the Palestine Man-
date. Partition, he said "strikes
at the vdry heart of Jewish hopes
and is an affront to the League
of Nations." It is also "the tim-
orous escape of a government
which never failed because it
never tried to enforce the Man-
date." Louis Lipsky, American
member of the World Zionist Ex-
ecutive, declared partition "will
not make for peace. It will plant
the seed of greater conflicts." He
called it fantastic and asserted
that it "serves to place England
firmly in a position to continue
to play the role of self-interest-
ed guardian of the destiny of
Palestine."
