Jews Want Membership In Empire

Best Solution Of Palostino Puzzło

London, Jan. 4.

The British Zionist Federation, meeting under the presidency of Lady Reading, to-night passed a re- solution oflrming the rights of Jewe to create their own state and record- Ing its opposition to any solution of the Palestine problem muking, the Jews a permanent minority.

The resolution requests that the proposed Zionist state should be brought within the. British Empire.

The Rev. Perlzweig, Secretary of the British Zionist Association, in an interview with Reuter, explained that this changed view meant that Jews but the i nut ke mandates Jers British Empire more.

The Secretary added: "Recently we deckled lu reformulate our ideas stressing our urgent desire to come within the Empire. We have held back hitherto because of a desire not to embarrass British policy. But anti-British propaganda in the Near Fast has atbined such a pitch that silence is now impossible."

The Rev. Perlzwelg emphasised that he spoke only for the British Zionists, but claimed 95 per cent. of the Palestine Jews would welcome such a decision with enthusiasm.

Later, the Executive Council of the British Zionist Federation adopted the resolution.--Reuter,

Democracies Move

On Parallel Lines Of Policy

London, Jun. 3.

The tone and substance of President Roosevelt's speech to Congress has been much welcomed in authoritative British elreles. The President's heartening remarks with regard to democracy are considered to be particularly timely and are entirely shared here, as also was his reference to treaty obligations.

It is clear there is complete unity of view with regard to what President Roosevelt calls "the surface trend away from democratic forins."

Clearly, also, British and American thought is working in the same direc tion and British and American states- men have the same way of looking at these things. This, coupled with close collaboration and the exchange of information and opinion, which has long been the practice between the two countries, should facilitatc fellowing_Individual, but parallel,
