JEWISH PROTESTS

AGAINST RECENT BRITISH UTTERANCES WATERING DOWN BALFOUR DECLARATION. TALK OF BOYCOTTING COMING CONFERENCE. By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright. (Received This Day, 1.45 p.m.) JERUSALEM, December 12. The Jewish National Council, after a meeting at which recent speeches in the British Parliament were criticised as tending to water down the Balfour Declaration and bar Jewish migration to Palestine, passed a resolution demanding that the Jewish Agency reconsider its decision to participate in the forthcoming London Arab-Jewish Conference.

A message from Berlin states that the British United Press understands that Dr. Schacht, president of the Reichsbapk, has prepared a plan to be implemented through the Bank of International Settlements, which Jews could transfer a proportion of their capital, provided foreign Governments undertake to use the amounts to purchase additional exports from Germany. MEETING IN LONDON. DISCUSSION OF COLONISATION PLANS. (Received This Day, 1.45 p.m.) LONDON, December 12. Plans for financing the large-scale emigration of Jews from Germany are to be discussed at a conference in London on December 13, following on talks begun at the Hague last week between British, American and Dutch financiers and members of the International Jewish Colonisation Society.

It is hoped that a project appealing to all nations will be evolved.
