SOr George GanS, WHOSE NiIe cousin. Benjamin Hurwitz, was slaughtered at Hebron:
 "The civilized world has been startled and mortified by the series of outrages perpetrated upon the Jewish population of Palestine by organized bands of fanatical Arabs. The Holy City, sacred to three great religions, has been desecratcd and turned into a battle-ground under the eyes of the British administration, charged under the mandate it has received from the League of Ma tions, with the duty of preserving law and order and of facilitating the development of a Jewish national homeland.
 "All accounts point to the fact that these attacks upon Jewish life and property were premeditated, well-organized and concerted. The Jews, particularly in the small out lying communities, were taken by surprise and put to the sword with out an opportunity for adequate self defense. Arab outrages reached the depths of savagery in the an- cient city of Hebron, the city of the Patriarch Abraham, where scores of Jewish scholars and students ut terly defenseless, were brutally mas sacred.
 "These events have shocked mankind and filled every Jewish heart with horror and indignation. The Zionist organization of Ameri- ca, which for so many years has been fostering the Jewish upbuild- ing of Palestine, pouring into the country tens of millions Of dollars. and contributing to the health ana weIl-being of the entire population without regard to race or creed, through the Hadassah Medical or ganization, the benefactions of Nathan Straus and other agencies, declared that this crime against civilization will not swerve the Jew ish people by a hairs breadth from their purpose to rebuild Palestine. to reestablish it's ancient homeland. We are resolved to continue our policy of peaceful development but will insist upon putting an end once for all to the conditions that have made such things possible.
 "While we commend the present British government in London fol their quick action in quelling the re- volt, we charge the British adminis- tration in Palestine with laXity, in efficiency, and ineXcusable neglect of duty in it's failure to carry out the elementary functions Of govern- ment through the protection of life and property and we believe that certain officers of the government have betrayed their trust by melting and aiding the Arab revolt.
 "We charge the Palestine officials with failure to prevent the arming and organization of the Arab mobs. We charge them with failure to protect the Jewish rights of wor- ship at the Mailing Wall-a right held inviolable since the days of Omar and respected under Turkish rule.
 "We charge them with a fragrant disregard of it's obligations under the mandate, derived from the league of nations. which calls not only for preservation of the civil and religious rights or all but .als' for active cooperation in furthering the establishment of the Jewish homeland in Palestine by encourag ing Jewish immigration and colo nization on the soil.
 "We charge that through the lack of government protection mill lions of dollars of property has been destroyed and we ask that the government reimburse the sufferers. assessing the cost upon the perpe- trators and the despoilers responsi- ble for same.
 ''We call upon the British gov. ernment and the British people upon whose sympathetic under standing and sense of fair play we confidentially rely to redress the great wrong which has been done to the Jewish people and to the cause of humanity, to make thorough investigation, punish the guilty restore peace and order. and above all, to take drastic and far reaching measures to rectify the conditions which have made the tragic events of these days possi- ble."
 All of those who took part in last nights meeting uttered words of praise for the conduct of the British government at London, but deplored the administration of Palestine off cials.
