Members of a Parliamentary delegation to Palestine, which has just returned to London, today addressed a Zionist meeting here.
Claude F. Strickland, a student of Palestinian economy, said that the people who benefited most as a result of Jewish immigration to Palestine were the Arabs, and Major Proctor declared that the achievements of the Jews in that country deserve the admiration of the world.
“With my Liberal and Labor friends,” Major Proctor said, “I stand for justice for the Jews. The government makes for itself a policy of fearing the Arabs and the Moslem world. We are not carrying out the letter and spirit of the mandate, but if you are not too impatient your progress in Palestine will be irresistible. However, if dissension creeps into your ranks, the labors of Herzl will not avail.”
Professor Selig Brodetsky, a member of the Zionist Executive, made a special appeal to the Zionist Labor party to prevent discord, maintain silence and not allow itself to be provoked. He urged that the “big Jewish job” in Palestine should not be spoiled by internal quarrels. Barnett Janner, M. P., recommended the attainment of Jewish unity.
