Apparently referring to the persistent rumors that A pian for the partitioning of Palestine is being considered, the liberal New Statesmen and Nation warns today against “rash drawing of boundaries.” Such action, it points out, could nullify the Lowdermilk schene for irrigation and electrification of Palestine. It says that Palestine must be open to all Jews who wish to settle there and advises Britain to help in the development of the country and thus give the Arab inhabitants confidence that they will not be neglected in post-war plans.

The Sunday Observer yesterday paid tribute to Dr. Chaim Weizmann on the occasion of his return here from Palestine. Reviewing the tense situation there, the coper says that the dilemna created by the conflicting Arab-Jewish claims calls “for all of Weizmann’s forbearance and sagacity. At 70,” it concludes, “his task of steering his people to peace and security is not nearly done.”
