For example, the Zionists said Grg could look after the situa tion in Palestine, because Arab resistance would be feeble. But they have discovered their mis take.
The Arabs, getting together intend to make war on the Jews when the British leave. So the Zionists are now clamouring for weapons to fight the Arabs, and badgering the American Govern ment to raise the arms embargo. If partition is imposed it will need an international army. But the other nations have little-
stomach for the job we have par- formed alone for many years.
