tian World To Aid Jewish
Victims Of Arab Riots
D,-scribing the Arabs from Gibral-
iviping, as an irritating force
th ,. life of the world, Dr. Charles
p,.H„w of the First Methodist
r , h called upon Christendom to
• he Palestine Jewish victims,
c that it would he a blight upon
I'hri-tcndom, if Christians allowed the
f the world to shoulder all of
• uncial burden of receiving the
m Palestine who have suffered
v tv rt Mfnt attacks by the Arabs.
Sneaking on “the Tragedy of Pales-
• at a meeting Tuesday evening,
,• *he First Methodist Church, Dr. De
A said: "At this long distance, it
< as if the attacks upon the Jews
a,-, wholly unwarranted and grew
, f a gratuitous attempt on the
,:• ,,f the Arabs to interfere with the
hip of the Jews at the Wailing
a place of singular historical
,-rest and sentiment. “Vastly more
n\nlved in this situation than a
. re local conflict. These tragic in-
*.it;• ■«• ~ are hut the outbreak of an-
• hatreds which are as deep as the
of the race itself. These events
r.t:-•■ a profound and far reaching
■ me-?ion as to the meaning of a man-

,(l ' KRNMENT WIPES OFF TEL
U|N MUNICIPAL DEBT TO
TREASURY
fv! Aviv (J. T. A.)—The govern-
has agreed to wipe out the debt
■’"•000 due by the municipality of
A\i% to the Government treasury
a P er> iod of several years. The
• nient notified the Tel Aviv mu-
' ;t y on Tuesday that it had
a £reed to wipe off the debt.
“There is feeling in the minds of a
great number of informed people that
England has not made the sort of at
tempt at adjusting affairs in Palestine
under the mandate that she would
have made if Palestine had been an
English possession.
“We make a very grave mistake
when we think of the bitter experi
ences of the Palestinian Jew as being
a thing that concerns the Jew alone.
Yesterday the Moslem threw' India in
to confusion enemies. Tomorrow he
would gladly slit the throat of the
last Christian, because his religion
teaches him that nothing guarantees
his future in his kind of heaven, as the
murder of the ‘infidel.’
“Money should go for the relief of
these suffering people, but it will be
a blight upon Christendom if we al
low the Jews to pay it alone. Those
who have suffered and died in Pales
tine are not to be thought of as Jews,
but as fellow human beings whose up
lifted hands in death speak a mute
message to all the world, and their
cry, which should find answering re
sponse in every heart is for mercy and
justice which have not always been
the portion of this people,” Dr. De
Bow concluded.
