It must leave Palestine in a state of finaiity by drawing up proposals for sound constitutional development. The Jewish national home should be given the full authority and status of a Jewish state before Britain retires."
Dr. Weizmann said that those who would like to see the Briti"h (M.nnection preserved, saw with d ep sorrow that it had been all but d \stroycd. He condemned terforism and urged the Jews instead to show the courage. endurance and h'Toism of restraint.
