Describing the British authorities in Palestine as “guardians with a swastika,” the Soviet Government newspaper Izvestia today charged that British troops in Jerusalem act like “real conquerors.”

The article gibes at “highly placed Englishmen” who “more than once have stated that Palestine is a heavy unwanted burden, and it is only because they are sorry for the unhappy country that they do not withdraw their troops and relinquish the mandate.”
