HOUSE OF LORDS WELCOMES PALESTINE PARLEY

GOVERNMENT IS SEVERELY

CRITICISED AND THEN

WARMLY DEFENDED

LONDON, Dec. 8.

LORD SNELL vigorously attacked the Government's policy in Palestine in the House of Lords to-day, .declaring that British colonial history provided no parallel to the record of aimless vacillation and contra- dictory devices in Palestine.

He did not blame Mr. Malcolm MacDonald, who had a close knowledge of the problem, and a keen sympathy for the races in- volved, but he advocated firstly, restoration of order, and second- ly that the Government should make it understood that the Bal- four Declaration would not be withdrawn,

Viscount Samuel pointed out that this was the first debate on Palestine in the House of Lords since July, 1937. The re- commendation for partition was bad, and all partition proposals should be discredited at the outset.

The strength of the Zionist movement was derived mainly from the masses of Jews in Poland, Rumania and the United States, which were remote from the scenes, and without an in- timate knowledge of the eircumstances in Palestine. They had not seen the obstacles and were impatient when anyone said the obstacles were real, and suggested overcoming them.
