Dr. Chaim Weizmann’s negotiations with the Government on urgent Palestine questions are deadlocked, at least for the time being, and he left for the United States after deciding that no useful purpose could be served by postponing his departure, the New Zionist Organization reported today.

The political correspondent of The Jewish Standard, NZO organ, said: “It would appear that Dr. Weizmann’s negotiations, although conducted with various Government personalities, had been the whole time more or less under the influence of the Colonial Office. Weizmann found himself time and again confronted by complex objections in which the Colonial Office, making good use of political and military circumstances in the Middle East, played a part.”
