S. official Zionist weekly: "Does Dr. Magnes imagine that he imbues the Arab leaders . . . with a sense of peace and responsibility when, as the fruit of their...

After an interview with Minister of Colonies and Mandates Baron Passfield (famed in his former style as Economist Sidney Webb), Dr. Weizmann gave correspondents to understand that the Cabinet would continue sternest measures to restore peace in Palestine, and might even dismiss Acting High Commissioner Harry Charles Luke, whom...
