CIafnlS Jews FaVOred.
The general situation might be set
forth as follows:
Some Arabian political leaders have
asserted at various times that the
English government is giving it's chief
interest to the establishment of the
Jewish National Home. and for this
purpose she has allocated land to the
Jews and preference has been given
10 them In matters of education, in the
appointment Of officials. etc.
The Jews. however, have made the
complaint that the government Is In
active in all Of these matters: that
It does less than required by the man.
