Report Arabs • Seeking Aid of Gen. Anders
By PIIINEAS J. BIRON.
THERE ARE UGLY RUMORS that
the Arab League is negotiating
with Anders, the Polish general, for
assistance in fighting partition in
Palestine Militarily. Anders' army is
in England at full war strength,
subsidized by Bevin. It is eager and
ready to be shipped to Palestine.
Gen. Anders is reported to have ex-
pressed the conviction that his army
corps could wipe out the Ilaganah in
four weeks. In other words, Eng-

'DURING THE 32 years from 1882 to 1914, Pales-
tine absorbed only two per cent of the vast wave of
Jews migrating overseas. From 1919 to 1931 Palestine
absorbed 15 per cent of Jewish migration. From

of all Jewish migration reached the shores of Eretz
Israel.
