TRUCE GENERALLY WELCOMED Difficult Task BUT DEADLOCK IN BOUNDARY For Palestine NEGOTIATIONS ARE FORESEEN

DIPLOMATIC SETBACK

FOR JAPANESE

London, August 12.

All newspapers express gratification and relief at the Soviet- Japanese truce, but most of them consider it a diplomatic setback for the Japanese militarists.

Commenting on the situation, the News-Chronicle draws atten- tion to the fact that in the work of the border commission there will be no chairman with a casting vote, so that it is not necessary to be a prophet to foresee a deadlock.

Nevertheless, the problems are in↑ the long run likely to be solved, says the paper. as Russia does not want to fight and Japan dare not. The Daily Telegraph' avers that

both sides the impression pre- vails that Japan climbed down farther and fasier than Rus- sla.

This is implicit in the composi- not the least satisfactory feature tion and terms of the boundary is the fact that the Japanese commission, in "respect of which military authorities" have" obeyed the Japanese had abandoned their orders from Tokyo..

London, August 12.

The British High Commis- sioner and the British Military Commander in Palestine are facing a task as difficult as any that has confronted British authorities in

country any since the Great War, declared Mr. Malcolm Macdonald, Secre- tary of State for the Colonies, In a broadcast last night...

Mr. Macdonald described his re- cent visit to Palestine and said that the British Government will administer their trust on the basis of justice between Jews, who are building at long last a national home, and Arabs, whose title to the land of their birth is indisput“ able.

Sometimes, man's power of con- ciliation and creation appears puny, sald Mr. Macdonald, but there is spirit that has brooded over Palestine and, with God's help, peace will be restored in the Holy Land.--(Reuter),
