Jerusalem, Feb 20.
A Jewish Agency spokesman here today denounced Mr. Bevin's speech as showing "completō lack of understanding of the funda- mental principles of Zionisin."
Mr. Bevin he added, had "shown no comprehension of the fundamentals of which the Bal- four Declaration was comprised." "There is no discusalon, no de bate. no controversy about the ability of Palesting to absorb ini- nilgrants," the spokesman declar cd. "We maintain that the rate of 18.000 a year in relation to the needs of Jews in 1945, 1940 and 1047 is pitifully inadequate."
Reports of Mr Bevin's specch made banner headlines in the Palestine press. The Right Wing Hebrew daily "Hubokor branded it as "anti-Semitic" and as show- ine that Britain had no intention of abandoniifgPalestine wrid handing over the mandata to the United Nations,
