Charges British
Are Responsible
For Attacks Here
NEW YORK — Charging that
the British "are largely respons-
ible" for the adverse criticism
that has been heaped upon their
government's Palestine policy in
this country, Dr. Carl Hermann
Voss, chairman of the executive
council of the executive council
of the American Christian Pales-
tine Committee, took issue with
complaints of a prominent Brit-
ish churchman that Britain was
being widely attacked in the
U. S. for its policies in the Holy
Land.
Dr. Voss. who also is extension
secretary of the Church Peace
Union and World Alliance for
International Friendship through
the Churches, made his response
to the British spokesman in an
article appearing in the Feb. 1
issue of "The Churchman."
"Our British friends should
realize that they are largely re-
sponsible for the state of mind
which prevails in America today.
It is not enough to find fault with
the results emanating from a
given cause. The cause itself is, I
believe the very core of the prob-
lem," Dr. Voss wrote.
"How do you expect us to re-
act to the policy which seeks to
appease the Arabs at the cost of
honor and integrity? We know
how much and how willingly the
Jews of Palestine sacrificed in
the war. We know that they
created an 'arsenal for democ-
racy' in the Middle East. We
know too, the part that the Mufti
and other Hitler hirelings played
in promoting the vicious doc-
trines of the Nazis."

NEW YORK—Jewish Palestine

voyage next month, according to
a cabled report received by Ru-
dolf G. Sonneborn, acting chair-
man of United Palestine Appeal.
The Kedem Line was incor-
porated simultaneously in Eng
land and Palestine with a capital
of $1,000,000 provided equally by
