The House of Commons heard questions and replies today with regard to the propaganda of the small Communist group among the Palestine workers.
Col. Josiah Wedgwood asked the Colonial Secretary whether there is any evidence of Communist activity in Palestine among Moslems or Jews directed against Great Britain.
Col. Amery in reply declared that there is a comparatively small Communist party among the Palestine workers, containing both Jews and Arabs. They are conducting a certain amount of propaganda directed against the British mandate, but their influence is comparatively slight. The High Commissioner is fully aware of the position and His Majesty’s Government can leave the matter in his hands, the Colonial Secretary stated.
