Lipsky Says Britain Opposes Arabic Empire; Asks U.S. Jewish Youth Cooperation

position to say that his negotiations with Mr. St. John Philby were undertaken without authority and without first having consulted the representation of the Jewish Agency responsible for the conduct of Jewish political affairs. In fact, he acted against the express disapproval of the Jewish Agency of such negotiations at a time when a Parliamentary Commission was engaged in an investigation of an attack made by Arabs against Jewish life and property, and with a negotiator who represented neither the British government nor the Arabs of Palestine. Dr. Magnes’s acceptance or rejection of hypothetical plans and policies for better cooperation between Jews and Arabs have no significance or value. When the time comes for discussion, there will be a discussion with no intermediaries between the responsible representatives of the Jewish people and the responsible leaders of the Palestinian Arabs, if such can be identified.”

Mr. Lipsky denied rumors that Dr. Weizmann’s health is bad, declaring that Weizmann is in the best of health now. “I have never seen him so eager, so hopeful, so full of energy as now,” he said.

“As always, the success of the Palestine enterprise depends largely upon the backing of the Jews of America,” declared Mr. Lipsky. “The backing that is now required is not only of a financial nature. We mean also the moral and intellectual support of American Jewry. Especially now after the August events, it is of the utmost importance that the American Jewish youth be tied up as a group with the pioneer work in Palestine. A movement to bring the American Jewish youth into the pioneering work would have an unsurpassable moral value.”
