A proclamation calling upon the Bedouins to block the acquisition of lands purchased by the Jewish National Fund was issued by Communists here. The proclamation urges the Bedouins who occupy the area recently acquired by the Jewish National Fund with funds made available by the Canadian Zionist Organization, not to leave the land. It calls upon all Palestine members of the Communist party to mobilize to the aid of the Bedouins in their attempt to hold the land. The Bedouins have no title or claim to the land, which they occupy for pasturing.
