The Southern Israelite Page 13 Clergyman Calls Upon Chris 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- •late under the League of Nations.

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.
