Dr. Chaim Weizmann, President of the World Zionist Organization, when informed of the assasination of Israel DeHaan, political enemy of the Zionist movement, strongly condemned this act of violence. He stated that this incident may cause great damage to Zionism.

The suspicion that the murder of DeHaan was committed by a Zionist was voiced today by the anti-Zionist Daily Express, of which DeHaan was the Jerusalem correspondent.

The Evening Standard devoted much space to an account of the occurrence, greatly praising the slain leader.
