Declaring that “the frontiers of a state are never (##)ternal,” Dr. Nahum Goldmann, member of the Jewish Agency excutive, said here last night that Jews must insist on creation of a Jewish state in Palestine now, “even if (##)erritorial concessions are necessary.”

In an address to a reception given him by the French Zionist Federation, Dr. Goldmann stated that the Zionist movement is now undergoing a radical change in its policy, “which up to now was based on relations with Britain.” He counselled against (##)attacks on the British Government, saying that the British were not anti-Zionist or (##)anti-Semitic, but do not want the task of keeping the Arabs at bay. Britain is strug(##)ling to keep her place among the large powers, and continued attacks will increase anti-Zionism there, he asserted.
