JEWS EXCOMMUNICATE LORD SAMUEL CRITICISM OF ZIONISTS RESENTED. CEREMONY AT TEL AVIV. 3y Telegranh—Press Association—Copyright (Received This Day, 10.25 a.m.) LONDON, December 12. The British United Press Jerusalem correspondent says Hebrew newspapers at Tel Aviv report a ceremony at the local orthodox Synagogue, with the burning of black candles as emblems of sorrow, excommunicating Viscount Samuel for his Palestine speech in the House of Lords on December 8.
Lord Samuel expressed the opinion that the Zionist movement largely misconceived facts and had inadequately recognised the existence of the Arab national movement. He advocated a limitation on Jewish migration to Palestine, the development of Transjordania, to enable the settlement of both Arabs and Jews, and the reservation of a distinctive Arab area in Palestine.
