The Palestine Government compelled Dr. Weizmann to cancel his proposed meeting with the Emir Abdullah in Amman and arranged that the Emir should call off his luncheon engagement with Dr. Weizmann, Mr. Ittamar Ben Avi, who recently resumed his editorship of the “Doar Hayom” asserts in the first of a series of articles entitled “J’Accuse”, which he publishes in the paper to-day.
Mr. Ben Avi quotes in support of his accusation a letter from Mr. Young, the Chief Secretary to the Palestine Government, addressed to Dr. Weizmann, urging that the time is inopportune for a visit to Amman, and the Government will not be responsible for his personal safety in Transjordan at this or another time. Other facts, Mr. Ben Avi says, show that the High Commissioner, Sir John Chancellor, blocked the way to Arab-Jewish parleys.
