Publication Awaited

Jerusalem, May 10.

While awaiting the publication of the White Paper on Palestine, the Committee for Zionist Action is in permanent session here.

'The Jews are basing their hopes in the trip made to London by Dr. Chaim Weizmann, "President of the 'Committee, which' they consider the Supreme effort before a definite selliement of the question.

The Arab press expresses satist tion at the probable end of conflict in Palestine. The - Gra Mufti's organ states that "the Arabs will never find better allies "than Franco and Great Britain among the European Powers as long as they romain attached to democratic prin" ciples. The fate and lives of the Arabs are closely linked to those of France and Britain, We only desire that London and Paris understand that Arabs have their. own national aspirations."

Despite these optimistic views, the Arabs are being incited by pam-phiers to go on with the rebellion luntit the complete independence of Arab Palestine is achieved.—Havas.
