ZIONIST COMMISSION'S AIMS
~ London, 1 May IG. speaking at an official dinner at tho (-"Overnorato in Jerusalem, IJr. Woizmann, explaining tho aims of the Zionist Commission, said that 1 Jewry was returning to Palestine again to creato a great moral and intellectual centre, linger such conditions of development that the Jewish people would not be a detriment to any of the great communities already established. All fears or tne Arabs that they will bo ousted were unlounded. . The Jews did not intend to take the supreme political ]>ower in. Palestine into their hands after, the war. ■they desired that supremo political authority should bo vested in one of tho civilised democratic Powers, to be selected by the League of Nations, This Power should hold Palestine i;i trust until self-government was practicable, -llio Jews would choose that Power, and would announce their decision after tho war. Tho Zionists.did not believe that tho mteniatioiialisatioii of Palestine, or any form of multiple political control, could be -tolerated. The Armenian massacres in the Caucasus and the Jewish massacre in Turkestan showed that the Arab and tho Jew and Armenian must stand united in order (o resist the forcc3 of darkness and oppression which threatened to overwhelm the civilised world.— Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.-licuter.
