EXCUSE zIONISM
Preparing Propaganda
For Holding Colony

British imperialist intrigue in
Palestine has reached the stage of
enquiry commissions" According
to an announcement to the capitalist
press by the British ministry on
colonies, a specially appointed COM
mission will sail on Oct. to visi.
Palestine and report on all the
reasons why the mandate should be
continued, and transferred into COM
plete conquest.
Macdonald and Palestine.
Macdonald only continues the
conservative imperialist policy of
Baldwin. During the time of his
first Mabor" government the bomb
ardment of Bedouin villages in Irak
his policy in India, ETC., proved this
to the colonial peoples under the
rule of Great Britain.
Speaking for the League of Ma
tons, which according to the French
government memorandum of 1925 is
"That institution of international
law which stands most chemical
against the Comintern." Macdonald
stated that the uprisings in Pales-
tine were not of a religious or race
character, they were simply actions
of irresponsible" bandits. This
statement forced his American or
gan, "The Nation" to repudiate him.
1t was too much even for these con-
cealed iackeys of Imperialism, work
ing under the mask of bourgeois
liberalism. They pointed our that
Macdonald is following directly the
imperialist path of Baldwin.
League of Seventh Dominion.
Already, before the British cleo
tions, The Labor Party of Great
Britain was active through it's lead
ers in "The League of the Seventh
Dominion" league with the pur-
pose of accelerating the development
of Palestine as a national state of
the Jewish people supported by the
British Government. Leading mem
bers OF this exclusive imperialist
league are the two Labor Party
colonies: Wedgewood and Ken
worthy, both of them known as
ardent pacifists.
The strategic Importance Of Pal
estine is very strongly stressed by
these pacifistic colonies and their
league. First of all, Palestine
touches on the south the Suez Canal
and on the north the Port of Haifa,
the end-point of the planned oil pipe
lines from Mosul. The Suez Canal
is one of the most important water
ways of the British Empire. Haifa
is already naval station of great
importance. It's port is modernized
and enlarged-big docks are under
construction. Furthermore, Pales-
tine is the center of many of the
most important sea and air days of
Great Britain. The British navy
needs the Mosul oil over Bagdad
and Haifa.
For War On U. S. S. r.
The pacifist colonies, their league
and Macdonald are fully in agree
ment with the Balfour policy of
utilizing the Zionist movement for
building up a reliable population of
Jewish landlords controlling the
Arab and Jewish workers and small
peasants in Palestine. And Colonel
Wedgewood states openly: every
thing that so far has been done by
the British Government is made
quate. England must take the
colonization of Palestine in her own
hands"
The Near East is a very conven-
lent basis for military attacks
against the colonial countries and
the U. S. S. R., Irak and Egypt are
the best bases for an air offensive
against the Caucasian Republics.
1t would be a great blunder of the
pacifist colonies to overlook such an
important fact as securing the
"Hinterland," Palestine, for the i'm
perialist attack. And there we find
the real reason for this policy OF
the Macdonald Government.
