Charge Britain Is
Fomenting Violence to
Discourage U.S. Action

NEW YORK, (JTA) — Charges
that British and Arab agents, in
the Middle East-are fomenting in-
- cidents which will reach a climax
in September, and will threaten
American lives in an attempt to
discourage the United States from
pursuing an independent policy in

regard to Palestine, have been
lodged with Senator Elbert Thom-
as, chairman of the Senate Mili-
tary Affairs Committee, by Loui;
Bromfield, co-chairman of the
American League for a Free Pal-
estine.
Enumerating seven specific
points, Mr. Bromfield, on behalf
of the executive committee of the
American League, revealed that
American arms and ammunition
are en route to Beirut to be di-

verted to Arab raiders who are
being incited by "agents provoca-
teurs." In order to "forestall fur-
ther damage to American prop-
erty and possible loss of Ameri-
can lives." The American League
advocated strict surveillance of
military shipments to the Near
and Middle East, alerting of all
U.S. intelligence officers in that
area, a close check on Arab
League activities in the United
States,

(The Soviet Government news-
paper Izvestia said this week that
the British plan for Palestine was
designed to strengthen British
domination in the Middle East. It
asserted that the proposal to split
the country into four piovinces
was- ''due to Arab objections to
the plan of admitting an addi-

tional 100,000 Jews" and that "the I
British Government is striving to
evade responsibility for the con.
sequences of the immigration pol-
icy, reserving for itself, however,
a complete political, economic and
strategic control of the country."
The Anglo-American commission,
Izvestia added, "approached the
solution of the Palestine problem
by no means from the point of
view of satisfying the vital de.
mands of the Palestine popula.
tion.") 't

if the interests
controlling Michigan Consolidated
Gas Company succeed in their plans to
get a monopoly on Detroit's gas supply,
you and the other gas users of Detroit
will pay the lion's share of the cost of a
duplicate pipeline. This system will cost at least $84,000,000!

"That's ridiculous! Haven't the people of Detroit
been told these facts?"

"But, I don't understand. What's the matter with
our present supply?"

Detroit isn't interested in the Panhandle Company, and neither is

Nothing at all. Panhandle Eastern's lines have provided more
than enough gas for your needs for the past ten years. And when
Panhandle Eastern completes its current construction program,
the enlarged system will be fully capable of meeting all of your
future needs, however great. •

it shortly after Pandhandle and Michigan reached an agreement.

ES, MRS. DETROIT,

Indeed they have. Just recently James H. Lee, Assistant Cor-
poration Counsel of Detroit, was quoted as follows by the
Detroit Times: "Michigan Consolidated wants a pipeline and

wants to create a shortage so that the Federal Power Commission

will grant it permission to go ahead and build it. The City of

it interested in Michigan Consolidated. It is interested in getting

enough gas. That gas is available and the consumers could get

Unless they do this, there is no telling how long the city will be

without an adequate supply. Even if Michigan Consolidated gets

permission to build a pipeline * * * it may be years before such

a line is completed."

"Aren't we already paying for one pipeline?"

"I see. And meanwhile, I suppose, our gas short-
age continues?"

You are. That is, Detroit's gas users have already helped to pay
a substantial part of the original cost of Panhandle Eastern's
system. However, under the plans of Michigan Consolidated
start
interests, you will lose all benefit of this investment and
paying all over again for a new line.

Exactly, in complete disregard of your urgent need for more
gas, Michigan Consolidated refuses to negotiate with Pan-
handle Eastern for the additional supply soon to be available.
