(Jewish Telegraphic Agency)
The relations between Arabs and Jews in Palestine are satisfactory, single points of friction are of a temporary nature. This was the opinion expressed by M. Zbyszewski, Polish Consul General of Jerusalem, who is here on a visit.
In an interview with the correspondent of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency the Polish Consul General stated that the assertion that there is danger of Communism spreading in Palestine is unfounded. Even the extreme labor elements of the Jewish population in Palestine stand on the ground of the Jewish National Home idea which has nothing in common with Communism.
The work of the Palestine administration is conducted for the welfare of the country and is obviously in correspondence with the Balfour Declaration. The economic crisis is of a temporary nature and does not contain a danger for the future of the country.
The Polish Jews in Palestine are a great factor for the expansion of the influence of Polish commerce and industry in the Near East. Direct steamship communication between Poland and Palestine will shortly be established.
Zionism is a historic movement and although it is now living through temporary mishaps which are unavoidable the main thing is to continue the work with persistence, he declared.
