Zionists Asked To Accept Partition
London, Feb. 2.
The foremost Zionist leader, Dr Chaim Weizmann, ad- dressing the annual conference of the British Zionist Federation to-night, on the eve of his departure for Palcs- tine, advised-those Zionist leaders now negotiating with the British Government to state frankly that they were pre- pared in certain conditions to accept a scheme of partition.
"It Is no use demanding the whole of Palestine outwardly and working for partition inwardly," he said. "Zionism is not a poker game and Zionists should make an open appeal to the world."
Congress, where American Jewry was strong only because European Jewry was very weak Jewry had, indeed suffered a great intellectual

CALCUTTA
STRIKES SPREADING
Calcutta, Feb. 2.
The swank Meccave, one of the city'a swankiest clubs, echoed hollowly to-day with loud impatient "kol-hnis" ("anybody around").
Nobody was around to dispense burra pegs and cocktalls to thirsty and outraged sahibs because the 250 butlers and waiters of this exclusive Bengal club walked out this after- noon in a protest strike against the dismissal of a co-worker.
This brought the strike directly for the first time to the upper classes, which were virtually immune to walkouts that previously had brought the number of idle workmen to 62,- 000. Nevertheless strikes in the Empire's second largest city have caused the man la the street increa- sing inconvenience.
Out of that total some 6,000 were locked out because they staged one- day strikes in protest against the police firing on students demonstra- ting on Viet Namh Day on January 21. The remainder of the strikers oro tram, jule and cotton mili
