The Jewish Labor Office here received today the following cable from the Jewish labor party at Tel Aviv. The cable was despatched from Cairo and was uncensored. It read:
“Isaac Ben-Zvi telephones from Jerusalem that the Jewish colonies around the city were burned. Our brethren are being killed. Hebron, Tel Aviv and the colony Rechoboth, were attacked. We are interfered with in our self-defense action. We are being betrayed. We are being cut off from the entire world. Conditions are dangerous throughout the country. We have no more strength. Save us. Inform Dr. Chaim Weizmann and S. Kaplansky.”
