Relations between the Jews and the British administration in Palestine are now worse than they have been in the quarter-century since Britain assumed the mandate, it is charged today by Prof. Norman Bentwich, noted jurist, and former Attorney-General for Palestine.

Writing in the “Palestine Review,” Dr. Bentwich suggests that both sides declare a “truce” for one year: The Jews would refrain from protests and strikes against the administration; and the English would practice “forbearance and understanding.” “The destinies of the Jews and of England are still bound together,” Prof. Bentwich declares, “and both peoples must stop trench warfare and sniping for their common good.”
