Mr. Macdonald’s Statement Causes Stir at Palestine Jewish Assembly Meeting: Revisionists Demand Inte

The Jewish Telegraphic Agency telegram reporting Mr. Ram-say MacDonald’s statement in the House of Commons received here this afternoon caused a stir at the evening session of the Palestine Jewish Assembly (Assefath Hanivcharim). The Revisionists, headed by Dr. von Weisl, waved copies of the telegram, which had been issued by the J.T.A. to the press for publication in to-morrow’s papers, and insisted that the debate should be interrupted in order to enable the Assembly to take a stand on the Prime Minister’s pronouncement.

Rabbi Ostrowsky, who was in the chair, refused to interrupt the proceedings, however, but he read out the telegram, which did not produce the sensational effect the Revisionists apparently had anticipated.
