British Information Office
Issues Defense of Policy
WASHINGTON, (JTA)—A de-
fense of British policy in Pales-
tine was issued here by the British
Information Service in a section
headed "Notes on Palestine" in
BIS Notes.
The article takes up seven
charges levelled against Britain in
connection with Palestine and the
recommendations of the Anglo-
American inquiry committee and
offers the following explanations:
L Britain has not yet rejected
the recommendations of the
Anglo-American inquiry com-
mittee. It is pointed out that Bri-
tain has not recommended an
Arab or a Jewish state, but rather
a Palestinian state, which has al-
ways been its aim.
2. Britain did not reject the
recommendation that 100,000 Jews
be admitted to Palestine.
3. The immigration of Jews to
Palestine has not been stopped.
At the present time Britain per-
mits 1,500 Jews to enter Palestine
monthly.
4. Britain has not instituted a
reign of terror in Palestine, but
rather military action was under-
taken only to restore order as a
prelude to a peaceful solution of
the Palestine problem.

5. Britain is not discriminating
against Jews and action against
the Arabs was taken in 1936 when
the latter inaugurated a campaign
of violence.
6. The Palestine Administration
is not leaving the Jewish com-
munity defenseless.
'7. The article seeks to refute
statements charging that British
troops used "Nazi" methods in
the Palestine raids. Britain fought
against the Nazis since 1939, it
says, and but for British resist-
ance there would be no liberated
Jews in Europe and no Jewish
National Home in Palestine.
