Jews Attack Partitioning
Of Palestine
Sood Of Discontent In Prosent Schome
London, July 13. Mr. Vindlmir Jabotinsky, President of the new Zionist organisation, speak. ing at a meeting of members of all parties in the House of Commons, declared that the aren left to the Jews under the Palestine partitioning scheme was too small and would kil any idea of providing a home for outcast Jews of all nations.
The speaker added that the scheme would also end all ideas of expansion for the Jews and create a modern Naboths' vineyard, because the area allotted to the Jews was very rich, and the Arab population, outside, would be envious and would never rest until they conquered it. That would be a danger at any future time If the Empire was in dificulty.
Mr. Jabolinsky said £35,000,000 had been invested in Palestine during the fast fifteen years by the Jews. Reuter Special.
