LONDON, Nov. 24.
IN THE HOUSE of Commons to-day Mr. Winston Churchill suggested a 10- year plan for Palestine be enforced with the consent of all the parties if possible, with "resolute conviction, and the use of all our strength to make it successful.”
He explained that the plan roughly would mean fixing immigration of Jews to Palestine for 10 years at a certain figure, which, at the end of that period would not be decisively altered in order to balance the population between Arabs and Jews.
Jewish immigration should not be less in any given period than the growth of the Arab population, which, Mr. Churchill declared, "arose largely from the animating and fertilising impulse of the Jews."-Reuter.

"IF I WERE AN ARAS I ALSO WOULD BE WORRIED"
London, Nov. 24. Speaking during the debate Palestine in the House of Commons to-day, Mr. Malcolm MacDonald, Secretary of State for the Dominions, said that when 30,000 Jews entered Palestine in 1933, another 42,000 in 1934, and 61,000 in 1935, the Arabs began to wonder how long this muss immigration would be permitted to go on.
"If I was an Arab I would also be worried, and if we wish to reach en agreement in this question," declared Mr. MacDonald, "we must consider the Araba' as well as the Jews' point of view."
The difficult situation confronting England in Palestine was described by the Minister as follows:
"You cannot expect the Jews to allow themselves to be ruled by the Arabs, or the Arabs to be ruled by the Jews. If we cannot dispel the fear felt by the Arabs of their com- ing one day under the rule of the Jews, we shall be faced by a hostile a people, and will have to maintain strong force under arms tor an in- defalte period. On the other hand, Britain has a grave obligation to fulfi towards the peoples in Palestine. It
