by the anti-Semitic member of the House of Commons, Capt. Alan
Ramsay, who was arrested in May, 1940, together with Sir Oswald
Mosley, leader of the British Fascists, under the defense regulations.
Ranisay's inquiry demanded assurance that the White Paper would
be enforced.
The Colonial Secretary this week said that he had nothing to
acid to Churchill's statement of July, 1941, which read: "There is
no need for any change in the policy regarding Palestine." The
British Premier added at that time that this policy would be taken
into consideration during discussions in Cairo on the establishment
of a Pan-Arab federation.
Capt. Ramsay also demanded that the British government pub-
lish as a White Paper the proceedings of the "arms trial" which took
place recently in Palestine. This was ignored.
Talks Resumed in Cairo on Pan Arab Federation
JERUSALEM (JTA)—Apparently informed by his son, Emir
Feisal, concerning the views of the U. • S. government with regard
to the Arab-Jewish problem in Palestine, King Ibn Saud has
ordered his special envoy in Cairo to resume discussions with the
Egyptian Premier on the question of Arab unity. Feisal is still in
the U. S.
The discussions broke down about two weeks ago when the
Egyptian Premier refused to accept the suggestion of King Ibn Saud
that the Palestine issue be dealt with at once by the Arab world,
and suggested that discussions on this question be postponed until
after the war. The talks were resumed in Cairo this week.

Arab Group Arrives in Canada on Political Mission
MONTREAL (JTA)—The disclosure that an Arab commission
has arrived in Canada with the intention of carrying on political
activity in government and other influential circles has resulted in
an editorial in the local Jewish newspaper, The Daily Eagle, de-
manding that the Zionist organization of Canada launch a movement
for the creation of pro-Palestine committees which will not only
offset the Arab propaganda, but strengthen sentiment favoring
Jewish aspirations in Palestine.
Weizmann Invites Ben Gurion to Come to London
JERUSALEM (JTA)—The executive of the Jewish Agency this
week received a cable from Dr. Weizmann expressing regret that
he is unable to proceed to Palestine in connection with David Ben-
Gurion's resignation, since he is engaged in political talks in London,
the outcome of which may have an important effect on Palestine's
post-war status.
Dr. Weizmann suggested in his cable that Ben-Gurion and
other members of the executive come to London to participate in
the political activities which he is conducting there.

Ben Gurion Reported Unwilling to Withdraw .Resignation
LONDON, (JTA)—David Ben-Gurion, chairman of the ex-
ecutive of the Jewish Agency for Palestine, who submitted his
resignation as a result of 'differences of opinion between him and
Dr. Chaim Weizmann, will not withdraw it, the London Jewish
Chronicle reports in a cable from Jerusalem. "People who have
spoken to him say that he categorically states that he does not
intend to withdraw his resignation," the Chronicle says.

Twenty Thousand Families Can Be Settled Under New Project
JERUSALEM (JTA5—Twenty thousand immigrant families
could be settled in Transjordan in a 300,000-dunam area which can
be irrigated at the approximate cost of $2,000,000, the Jerusalem
correspondent of the London newspaper "Economist" cabled this
week on the basis of reliable estimates given to him. He emphasized
that most of the new settlers will have to come from abroad and
will have to be provided with capital and instructors.
The Arab newspaper Adiffa, commenting on Home Minister
Herbert Morrison's recent statement that Palestine was not ready
for self-government because of Arab-Jewish tension, states: "We
trust Mr. Morrison was speaking of the past, since Palestine's future
has already- been decided by the White Paper. While we are certain
the Jews will fiercely attack the future policy of the British Gover.n-
ment, we are aware that Britain has bound herself to fulfill that
promise."
Form Economic Council of Jews, Arabs and Englishmen
JERUSALEM (JTA)—The formation of a new economic ad-
visory council for the purpose of coordinating the work of various
government departments in connection with civilian economic
activities, was announced here by Sir Harold MacMichael, high
commissioner for Palestine.
The new body will be composed of four Jews ; four Arabs and
two Englishmen. It will be known as the War Economic Advisory
Council. District Commissioner Ralph Crosbie will head the new
agency.
One Fifth of Palestinian Soldiers in Nazi Camps Escaped
LONDON (JTA)—Only 1,200 of the 1,500 Palestinian Jewish
soldiers captured in Greece by the Nazis remain in German prison
camps. The 'other 300 have, by various ingenious means, which
cannot be disclosed now, succeeded in escaping in the. past two
years, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency was told by several of the
Palestinians who arrived here among the invalided British soldiers
exchanged for wounded Germans.
The invalided Palestinians also revealed that only intervention
by the International Red Cross saved the German-born Jewish
prisoners from being turned over to the Gestapo. When the P,ales-
tinians arrived at prison camps in Austria and the Balkans, they
said, the Germans attempted to separate the German-born soldiers
but - desisted when the Red Cross representatives protested sharply.
Their papers were stamped "British Jude," however.
