"New" Labour Govt. WIVES' DESPERATE PLIGHT What The Arab Thinks
To Push Bills
London, Oct. 6..
The freshly reshuffled Labour Government, with a strong infusion of new blood, will initiate further changes in the social and economic life of Great Britain when Parliament recon- venes on Tursday after the Summer recess. Young men are replacing older men in several. key posts in Prime Minister Attlee's Govern- ment team, but the Socialist planners” roundly denounced by the Conservative Na- tional Conference during the past three days, remain in charge of the stepped-up drive to- ward nationalization.

About Palestine
(By Carter Davidson)
Jerusalém, Oct. 6. The Arab, political stepchild of the Middle East. is striving simultaneously, to win indepen- dence from Britain and to check Jewish co- lonization Be he Bedouin or banker, the Palestine Arab claims this land as his historic birthright and claims independence as his promised reward for helping unseat the Otto- man Empire in World War I.
He opposes Zionism on the ground, it is the first obstacle in the way of the realization of either cidim. He contends that a Jewish state u Palestine would lead to Jewish expansion through the Holy Land and neighbouring Arab states, crowding out the Arabs.
When the Jews, lacking im- migration certificates, landed at Haifa harbour many Arabs talked of bloodshed and violence. When President Trumen speaks of sending 100,000 per secuted Jews from Europe to Palestine, the Arab speaks of "American Interference'!^ and¦ glances significantly at oil con- cassions and air rights of other American interests
