PALESTINE PARTITION.
REJECTION BY ZIONISTS. „ "ZURICH, Aug. 11. The Zionist Conference sat throughout the night debating the Palestine Commission’s proposals. It was agreed that the partition plan, as it stands, must be rejected, but there was considerable controversy regarding whether the executive should be empowered to negotiate with ihe British Government on a modified partition scheme.

Dr. Wiezmann has gone to Geneva to attend the Mandate Commission s discussion on Friday.
