Problem Of Palestine Grows More Difficult

London, Apr. 12. British troops had boon able to defend large numbers of Arab villagos, and Jewish settlements in Palestine, but "the resources of the military at presant are stretched to the full" and "at the some time they are engaged in withdrawing,” the Colonial Secretary, Mr. Arthur Crooch Jonas, stated in the House of Commons today.. The Government, he added, were fully alive, to the importance of preventing the civil war from de- veloping. The military were taking every con- ceivable step that could be taken with their limited resources.

Samuel Held Up

Jerusalem, Apr. 12.

The Hon. Edwin Samuel, eldest son of Viscount Samuel, was held up at gun-point to- day by two armed Arabs in Jerusalem.

He was told: "Come with us for we shoot," The incident oc- curred in St. Julian's Way, Jeru- salem, in broad daylight, less than 50 yards from British troops manning the entrance to the se- curity zone.

One of the ormed Arabs stuck gun in his stomach, grabbed him by the collar and started to pull him towards the Arab quar- ter. A second Arab gunman came up on the other side.

The Hon. Mr. Samuel shouted for help and began to struggle with his abductors.
