EMBLEMS OF SORROW
BLACK CANDLES IN SYNAGOGUE VISCOUNT SAMUEL IN DISFAVOUR LONDON, Dec. 12. The British United Press Jerusalem correspondent says Hebrew newspapers at Tel-Aviv report a ceremony Di the local Orthodox synagogue with the burning of black candles as emblems of sorrow excommunicating Viscount Samuel for his Palestine speech in the House of Lords on December 8. Viscount Samuel expressed the opinion that the Zionist movement largely misconceived the facts and had inadequately recognised the existence of the Arab national movement. He advocated limitation on Jewish migration to Palestine, the development of Transjordania to enable settlement of both Arabs and Jews and reservation of a distinctive Arab area in Palestine.
