LOS ANGELES (JPS)—"lf
you need any blind Jews maybe
we can blind some and send
them to you."
This was the scribbled note on
an envelope returned by the T.
J. Machine Works of Los An-
geles to the Guild for the Jewish
Blind, New York City. The en-
velope had contained pencils,
which the Guild regularly sends
out in requesting donations to
defer the expenses of that in-
stitution.
The matter was discussed by
the Anti-Defamation Lea g u e
with the Post Office Department.
When questioned, T. J. O'Hara.
who operates the machine works,
attempted to shrug off the inci-
dent with an "I'd rather not go
into it."
Later during the course of the
official investigation, O'Hara ad-
mitted he made the notation;
that he was not aware it was a
violation of a postal law; that
he regretted the incident and
that he would refrain from any
further violation of such nature.
LONDON (JTA)—Apparently referring to the persistent
rumors that plans for the partitioning of Palestine are being con-
sidered, the liberal New Statesmen and Nation warns against "rash
drawing of boundaries." Such action, it points out, could nullify
the Lowdermilk scheme for irrigation and electrification of Pal-
estine.
It says that Palestine must be open to all Jews who wish to
settle there and advises Britain to help in the development of the
country and thus give the Arab inhabitants confidence that they
will not be neglected in postwar plans.
The Sunday Observer this week paid tribute to Dr. Chaim
Weizmann on the occasion of his return here from Palestine. The
paper says that the dilemma created by the conflicting Arab-Jewish
claims calls "for all of Weizmann's forbearance and sagacity. At
70," it concludes, "his task of steering his people to peace and se-
curity is not nearly done."

Jewish Group in England Opposes Jewish State
LONDON, (JTA)—Opposition to the establishment of a Jewish
State anywhere was expressed here in behalf of the "Jewish Fel-
lowship" at a meeting of the Middle-East Committee, composed of
members of the House of Commons, at which the Palestine question
was discussed.
The meeting, which took place under the chairmanship of Gen.
Edward Spears, former British Minister in Syria, was attended by
30 members of Parliament.
Basil Henriques and Brunel Cohen, leaders of the Jewish Fel-
lowship, told the committee that their organization advocates the
largest possible Jewish immigration to Palestine that can be ef-
fected without bringing about conflict with the Arabs. To the
question of whether the Board of Deputies of British Jews dis- New Civic Light Opera
agrees with the views of the Fellowship, Henriques answered that

Arabs Reported to Have Agreed on Small Jewish State
CAIRO, (JTA)—Leaders of Arab countries have agreed to
the establishment of a small Jewish state in Palestine, about the
size of Lebanon, in the hope that this solution of the Palestine
problem will be acceptable to Jews, it is reported here.
This decision, coming shortly after the talks between Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill and the rulers of
Egypt and Saudi-Arabia, is taken here to indicate that the gov-
ernments of Britain and the U. S. have been informed of this
latest plan.
Lebanon covers 3,600 square miles as compared with the
10,429 square miles of Palestine. 'The population of Lebanon is
estimated to be about '700,000.
