6- Transfer of Million
Jews to Palestine
Asked by Ben Gurion
Europe Poisoned for Generations
By Anti-Semitism, Weizmann Warns
TEL
AVIV (WNS)
Ad-
dressing the "Small Zionist Con-
gress," convoked here by the
Keren Hayesod, Dr. Chaim Weiz-
mann declared that the anti-
Semitic poison which the Ger-
mans have spread throughout
Europe will endure for many
generations, and that the only
solution to the Jewish problem
in Europe is the establishment
of a Jewish homeland in Pales-
tine.
David Ben-Gurion, chairman
of the executive of the Jewisn
Agency, took issue with a recent
statement by Dr. Weizmann in
which the latter said that it may
be necessary to wait five or six
years before a Jewish state is
established in Palestine.

nual Zionist conference under

WASHINGTON (WNS) —Re-
porting the recent shelving of
the Palestine resolution by the
Senate Foreign Relations Com-
mittee, the Arab press in the
United States lauded the State
Department for, blocking the
passage of the resolution.
Appealing to the Arab world
to continue pressure upon the
Allies against Zionist demands,
the Washington Arab newspaper
Al-Bityan warned that "Pales-
tine will be strongly defended
now and in the future by Arabs
all over the world as it has been
in the past." It asserted that
the proponents of the Palestine
resolution had been "luckily"
stopped by "logic and reason—
and this time by the State De-
partment w idth had ordered the
resolution shelved."

cultural settlements have been
established in the past year, he
said, bringing to 40 the number
founded since the outbreak of
the war.
Present political portents indi-
cate that solution of the Pales-
tine problem will be postponed
for sonic time, Emil Shnorak,
head of the Economic Depart-
ment of the Agency, told the
delegates. This is a great dis-
appointment, Mr. Shnorak said,
but under any circumstances, the
principal economic task now is
io prevent a financial crisis.
