REACTIONS TO CHANGE OF BRITISH ATTITUDE
Eeceived Mondav, 7.50 p.m. LONDON, Jan. 31. The reaetion throughout Israel to the British Government 's reeognition, was mixed although there is no doubt the Israeli Provisional Government is both gratilied and relieved, says The Times' Fcl Aviv correspondent. Because of the unhappy legacy of dLstrust, fear and hatred, a few* Government officiajs and newspapers could not refrain from making what, it is to be hoped, was a last vindictive dig. Generally, however, British reeognition was taken as a sign that henceforward Israel will be accepted as a State with a rightful place in the Middle East scene and that in future British policv makers wiii take Israel into account. Apart from the digs and selfrighteous statements, only one seetion of the population did not receive the reeognition with pleasure. A member of the Freedoin Party (Irgun Zvai Leumi) said it .marked the end of Israeli expansion in Palestine and that the happy days.oi' unrecognised freedom of action were over.
