Complete independence for Palestine, the Transjordan and Syria is demanded in a pamphlet, “Peace Now,” Just issued by the War Resisters’ International, of which George Lansbury is chairman.

A plea for creation of Jewish military units was voiced last night by Meir Grossman, Jewish State Party leader in Palestine, at a meeting of the Anglo-Palestine Club presided over by Commander Oliver Locker-Lampson. Grossman, urging strengthening of the Jewish position in Palestine, said the Jews should “openly and frankly” tell the Mandatory Power that they were out to break all restrictions, whether on immigration or land purchase.
