The French newspaper Petit
Parisien attributed the difficul-
ties between the British and the
French in Syria to "New York
Zionists". Rejecting the British
and American convention that
the French had permitted the
Nazis to use Syria as a military

that the British, instigated by
New York Zionists, had promised
Chaim Weizmann, president of
the Jewish Agency for Palestine,
a larger Jewish national zone in
narts of Syria, Trans-Jordan and
Iraq as well as in Palestine.
The Damascus newspaper, As-
syasa Damascene, adopting the
same line, asserted that Britain
had divided the "Arab union"
by establishing a Jewish national
home "in the heart of the Arab
countries." The Vichy-controlled
paper accused Britain of trying
"to play in Syria the same role
she played in Palestine."
TEL AVIV. (Palcor)—An ap-
peal to the Palestine Adminis-

the Jewish Agency for Palestine,
in a political address delivered at
the opening session of the Mapay

Meeting just a few hours after
