Arabs will accept the establishment of a Jewish State in a partitioned Palestine if Britain decides to create such a state, it was predicted today by Berl Locker, a member of the Jewish Agency executive, upon his arrayal here from London.

The release of the imprisoned Jewish Agency leaders is not the result of any bargain between the British Government and the Jewish Agency, he told a press conference. Locker strongly attacked terrorism in Palestine, emphasizing that the activities the Jewish extremists have aroused public opinion against the Zionist cause.
