A warning that the Jewish Agency for Palestine would be compelled to appeal to the Hague Tribunal if the Government’s present policy on Jewish matters is continued was made to High Commissioner Wauchope by Dr. Chaim Weizmann, president of the Agency, it was learned today.
Dr. Weizmann yesterday visited the High Commissioner in connection with the law curbing sale of land by Arabs which it is understood the Government is preparing.
The entire Government policy of late, Dr. Weizmann is said to have told Sir Arthur during his visit, is submerging the foundations of the Jewish national home. Dr. Weizmann was reported yesterday as having declared to the High Commissioner that he was forcing Jewry “to fight you as we fought against Lord Passfield.”
