ZIONISTS TO TACKLE DIFFICULT PROBLEMS Internal Policy in Palestine to Confront Conference in Vienna. Br the Associated Press. VIENNA, June 22—Dr. Chajes, chief rabbi of Vienna, discussing the forthcoming»Vienna Zionist Congress, says it will confront many difficult questions of internal policy in Pales- tine. He said the question of what should be the correct attitude of Zionists to- ward the Arab population of Pales- tine requires the most earnest con- sideration. e expressed the opinion that England is holding steadfastly to the “Balfour declaration,” although the utterances of British parliamen- tarians, he said, often justify depres- sion in the ranks of the Zionists. (The Balfour declaration” committed reat Britain to use her best en- deavor to facilitate the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people.) The Neua Frele Presse prints a let ter from its Jerusalem correspondent, Dr. Weisl, sharply criticizing the ad ministration of Sir H. L. Samuel, for- mer British high commissioner for Pal- estine, as having been harmful to the Zionists' aims. The letter declares every effort was made to drive Jews from government employment in Pal- estine during this administration. Nevertheless, the letter said, Jewish power in Palestine increased greatly during_the five vears Sir Herbert Samu®® was in office. PROBE SHOWS POLITICIAN OWED BANK $225,000 By the Associated Press.
