PARIS CRIME A PRETEXT Action Against German Jews Carefully Planned

Jewish Leader's Charges At London Meeting

London, To-day.

-JEWS IN- PALESTINE MAKE OFFER

London, ~ To-day,

After hearing a long statement by Mr. Neville Laski, on the plight of the Jews and on the efforts of the British Government to find a so- lution, the Jewish Board of Deputies meet- ing in London urged that larger opportunities the British Government, has been for settlement be given in the Empire and Palestine.

Mr. Laski, who is President of the Board of Depu- ties, proposed a resolution expressing gratitude for the generous support given to proposals for a large refugee settlement in the Empire.

The Board appealed to the Gov- erament to use its good offices for the amelioration of the position of the Jews in Germany and trusted that in the forefront of any ap proaches made might be placed the necessity for permitting intending emigrants to remove their property with them.

SYSTEMATIC CAMPAIGN

In his outline of the situation to the Jewish Board of Deputies, Mr. Laski said that there is ample evid- ence and proof that the whole ac tion against the Jews ia Germany had been carefully and systematic- ally prepared by the Nazi Party.

He added that in the British Isles \ and in other countries the view was widely held that the recent out- breaks of violence were rather sud- den developments and the result of a foolish act committed by a mad- dened Jewish youth in Paris.

This view was false.

FLOOD OF REFUGEES TO MACAO RESUMES

Macao, To-day.

Refugee pressure on Macao which had been relaxing has in- creased again. As the Japanese had not invaded the Chung Shan district, Chinese refugees who had taken refuge in Macao; were begin- ning to return to Shekki, and near- by villages in order to resume their usual occupations:

However, following the raid two days ago, when Japanese planes dropped incendiary bombs causing the deaths of 11 persons and in- juries to 42 others, besides the destruction of almost 100 houses, the inward flow has resumed.

Bus after bus continues to ar- rive, crammed with refugees, most of whom are of the poorest class of Chinese.

The peasants reach the Portu- guese colony in the most deplor- able state, having hardly any be- longings owing to the extreme haste of their escape from Japan- ese incendiarismann bad
