JEWS PLAN PROTEST
BRITISH POLICY IN PALESTINE ANNOUNCEMENT AWAITED (By TL'lcKrai'li—Association —Copyright) Received May 16, 7.30 p.m. LONDON, May 15. The Jerusalem correspondent of The Times says the Jewish National Council is leading the Jewish communitj’ in planning a protest throughout the country, including public meetings and a general strike, wnen the Government policy is announced. The chief Rabbi, Dr. Isaac Herzog, interviewed, expressed the conviction that the
people in England do not appreciate what is at stake. He added; “It is not merelj’ that great pledges are about to be violated or another national trust disowned. Something more terrible is involved, inasmuch as a movement unique among movemeats for human freedom will be extirpated, depriving a small people struggling for survival against overwhelming odds, of hope maintained for two thousand years, though they are dispersed to every quarter of the globe. They will be handed over to those who do not conceal their determination to destroy that hope.”
