JOHN H AYNES HOLMES States Problem On Basis of Observa tion in Community Church Lecture. New York (J. T. A.).—That the English government in Palestine is pro-Arab and not pro-Jewish is the conclusion reached by the Rev. John Haynes Holmes, pastor of the Now York Community Church, on the basis of his observations in the country. In the first of a series of three lec tures given at the Community Church, Rev. Holmes laid particular emphasis on the attitude of the government, rho second lecture of the series was held last night. The “Jewish Daily Bulletin” is now in a position to publish the steno graphic report of that part of Dr. Holmes first lecture wherein ho pre sented the government’s attitude. He stated: "first. I am convinced that the En glish Government is pro-Arab and not pro-Jew. That was denied every time l put the question straight and diiect. It was denied, 1 believe, honest ly and sincerely. The Englishmen are good sportsmen. The Englishman wants to be fair, without prejudice to r • • T himself, of course, the Englishman wants to be fair. I believe, in Pales tine, that he is trying to play f a i r but interprets the game of fairness inevitably in favor of the Arab. He regards the Arabs as the native pop ulation. He believes that the Arab is the man who is actually living on the land. He believes, therefore, that the Arab must be saved from exploitation by the Jew. Therefore, however fine and sure and sincere his motives, he is standing there, I am convinced, to day with a sheltering hand around the population which he regards as help less as that population faces the in vasion of the highly trained western ized Jews coming in there to take over the land and establish their own country-. “Secondly, I am convinced that Eng land in Palestine doesn’t like the Jew and doesn’t know how to deal with him. The Englishman in Pales tine is an imperialist, trained in im perial administration with the far- flung colonies of the world. He is used to dealing with the members of a native population. But he doesn’t know what on earth to do with a man living in a colony who enters his of fice and looks him straight in the eye and, instead of asking him a favor, tells him what he has got to do. “That is what the Jews are persist ing in doing in Palestine. Week after week they send their committees to the office of the High Commissioner. They enter that office as men who walk straight and tall, without, any favors to grant, speaking in the name of justice; and they present careful reports, many of which I read, speci fying with the utmost particularity that the English Government has got to do that and that and it has got to do the other. “The English government, imperial ly speaking, won’t stand for that sort of thing. So the English Government doesn’t know how to handle the Jew. doesn’t understand the Jew and, God knows, he doesn’t like him. So you find a Government pro-Arab on the one side and with a certain degree of prejudice springing from misunder standing, confusion and bewilderment against the Jew on the other.” POLISH TEXTILE KING TO SET TLE IN PALESTINE, WILL OPEN PLANT Jerusalem (J.
