Jerusalem, Mar. 16.
The divisions between the Arabs and Zionists over the establishment of the Jewish Homeland in Palestine is becoming more clearly defined as the two opposing elements clash, Before Mr. Winston Churchill told the Arab delegation in London a few weeks ago that the creation of a national independent government in Palestine could not be sanctioned now, the Arabs had hopes that the Balfour declaration would be scrapped and that an independent Arab Palestine would be set up under British advisors.
Jamal Effendi E! Husseini, Secretary of the Christian Moslem Committee, whose aim is to combat Zionism, told the Associated Press correspondent that the Balfour declaration was "unjust and impracticable because it tends to sacrifice 500,000 souls on the cross of political Zionism. It is impracticable @ it does not, solve the Jewish problem, since Palestine can at most accommodate only 2,000,000 of the 14,000,0000 of Jews in the world."
Mr. Husseini defined the demands of the Arabs as including the right of Palestine to have control of its internal affairs and of Jewish immigration, the privilege of administering its own finances and revocation of the order that a Palestine police force be organized by recruiting former British soldiers.
