GERMAN REFERENCE TO PALESTINE

BRITAIN CHARGED WITH USING FORCE BERLIN, April 13. An inspired statement to the foreign Press says: “In view of Britain’s brutal use of force in Palestine, it is astounding for Mr Chamberlain to dare to accuse others of using force where neither human habitations are being bombed nor men, women and children killed, as in Palestine, because they are fighting for their liberty. “Mr Chamberlain rightly says that confidence once shattered is not easily restored. In view of the British methods of provoking a war atmosphere by unscrupulously creating panic none none can have confidence in the genuineness of the British peace assurances. It must undoubtedly be held that Mr Chamberlain admitted the British encirclement policy and confirmed anew that Britain will do her utmost to achieve this encirclement.

“British propaganda has created an intolerable condition, as Mr Chamberlain said, poisoning every phase of activity where the well-poisoners sit. It must be well known in Britain that there exists a common danger of being driven into fresh international murder by Britain’s policy and methods.”
