ZIONIST MOVEMENT
JEWS NOT DISCOURAGED IMMIGRATION TO PALESTINE / —' [BY TELEGRAPH —PRESS ASSOCIATION] "WELLINGTON, Friday "Jews in Palestine are not discouraged by the rioting and unrest," said Rabbi Benech Lew, of Jerusalem, who arrived by the Maunganui to spend a holiday of several weeks in New Zealand. He visited New Zealand six years ago. He does not consider the future of the Zionist movement in Palestine seriously threatened by the present disorders. Tko British Government was now taking' firm measures to deal with terrorists and if order could be restored the Jews were hopeful that Jewish immigration to the Holy Land would be resumed. The disorders had had the effect of checking immigration for the present. The present happenings appeared to be the last efforts of Arab terrorists to dominated the situation, but the measures now being taken by the British should hold them in check. It was thought that outside foreign interests were to some extent responsible for stirring up the trouble, but to what extent it was impossible to say. *
