A 16-year-old British naval cadet was today fined four dollars for breaking seven windows of the Willesdon synagogue last week.

The youth, who has two brothers in the British service in Palestine, told the court: “I did it because I don’t like Jews.” Shortly after smashing the windows he walked into a police station and surrendered.
