to the English representative in
Palestine, who telegraphed it to
England, where it led to some dis
cussion in the House of Commons.
The labor member of parliament
Kenworthy, asked the secretary of
state for the colonies, Mr.. Amery
whether he knew of this incident and
whether it were possible for the
House to make decision on it. The
secretary defended the terrorists of
the Jerusalem jail and added:
Beating is customary punishment
for misdemeanors in prison and His
Honor the English Minister has de-
clared that this punishment was
just"
On the question whether it was a
crime to be a member of the Com
munist Party in Palestine, Mr..
Amery declared that he was not in
the position to answer this question.
The Red Aid of Palestine has
decided not to allow this crime
against the political prisoners to go
unanswered. All over the country
protest meetings are being held and
the workers demand special rights
for political prisoners.

There is considerable opposition

even put in danger any bourgeois
liberal publication and facilitate the
establishment of an uncontrolled
conservative dictatorship, which is
now in the making. For these rea-

chamber and even a few conserva-

Though its ultimate acceptance is
possible, several liberal and conser-

attempted to remove the worst and
most "elastic" sections and to delay
its acceptance by obstruction.
In answer to the speeches of a
deputy who asserted that this law
would make any public activity i'm
possible, the minister of finance, as
spokesman of the government said:
"The government will defend society
when that law is passed, but it is
also prepared to defend it, even if
the law is not passed"

BEIROUT, Palestine, (By MaiD
When the political prisoners in
the Jerusalem jail were just about
to set out on their allotted walk.
they were ordered to return to their
cells, because the time had not quite
come for their airing. When the
prisoners resisted slightly, they were
brutally taken in hand by the police
and beaten. Prisoner Kaniewski's
nose was broken. They were all
forcibly dragged to their cells. The
feeling of the prisoners was aroused
at this injustice and they declared

determination of the prisoners.
three of the hunger strikers, Kaniew-

dragged into cell, strongly bound.
and each one was, given twelve
strokes of a hide whip on their
naked bodies. When the comman-
der saw that the strokes were too
weak" he grabbed the whip and
beat them himself. The cries of
pain of the beaten prisoners and the
calls of protest from the other pris-
oners filled the Jail for hours. The
three strikers were then taken into
separate dark cells and put in
chains. Following this the numerous
other political prisoners decided to
go on hunger strike. They de-
cided to begin the strike on June g.

workers would take up the struggle

Continuing their attempts to break

the merchants and authorities of
tlis and other cities thruout the
