A PROMISE THAT THE LABOR PARTY WOULD CLOSELY WATCH THE PALESTINE SITUATION AND PROTECT BOTH JEWISH AND ARAB INTERESTS WAS MADE AT ITS ANNUAL CONFERENCE BY MAJOR CLEMENT ATTLEE DURING DISCUSSION OF THE PARLIAMENTARY REPORT.

TOM WILLIAMS, MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT, PAID TRIBUTE TO “THE JEW WITH THE SPADE” IN THE UPBUILDING OF PALESTINE. HE DECLARED THE LABOR PARTY WAS NEITHER PRO-JEWISH NOR PRO-ARAB, BUT PRO-PALESTINE, AND WOULD CONTINUE TO EXERCISE VIGILANCE TO DEFEND THE INTERESTS OF BOTH GROUPS.

MR. ROZETTI, OF THE LABOR ZIONIST GROUP, DISCUSSED THE PALESTINE SITUATION AND THANKED THE PARTY FOR THE STRONG STAND ON THE QUESTION IT HAD DEMONSTRATED IN PARLIAMENT.
