great damage.
OF June) some nationalist groups in
Jaffa wanted to hold a demonstra-
ton against the sale of land to the
zionists. The Communists imme-
dlately placed themselves at the head
OF the movement, but turned it in
the direction of the fight against
imperialism and for the dividing up
of the land Of the big land pro-
prietors.
Troops Called in Demonstrations.
THE Communist appeals made a
great impression upon the Arab pop
ulation, and the government sum-
moned troops and police from all
parts of the country in order to pre-
vent demonstration. AS further
conference.-the it called upon the
Arab notables (big merchants, land
owners and Sheiks) to render help
in suppressing the Communist dem
constructions. The Arab notables,
some of whom only very recently
posed as being very radical and even
coquetted with the labor movement.
Immediately complied with the de-
mand. A few weeks later the British
High Commissioner was able to ex-
press his thanks to these notables
with whose help he had succeeded
in quelling the Communist disturb
ances!
Expose Zionist Lackeys.
so far as the Zionists are con-
cerned, the object of the Communist
struggle is to expose the true char
| acter of Zionism. 1t is the chief
aim of the Zionists to prevent the
truth coming to light, even if it
means employing the most brutal
and criminal means. Thus the Com
munists, who are fighting against
the Arabs being driven from the
soil, are boycotted, beaten, driven
from their homes, handed over to
the police and condemned to impris-
onment, compulsory labor and de-
portation.
"a Communist delegate who, at
Jewish meeting of Deputies pro-
tested against the driving of the
fellahin from the soil, was prevent
ed from concluding his speech, howl
ed down and thrown out of the hall
by the Zionist socialists who talk
so much of justice and democracy.
Similar incidents occur at trade I'M
ion meetings, public gatherings, ETC.
"The fight for land has become
the cardinal point of development
in Palestine. 1t is an important in
strument of British imperialism and
at the same time an episode in the
war preparations which are at pres
ent beng made in the Near East.
For this reason the Communist Par
ty is connecting it's anti-war cam
paign with it's immediate slogans in
the fight for land and with the
fighting slogans against imperial
ism and Zionism, for the alliance of
the workers and peasants and the
agrarian revolution"
About 10000 bourgeois and petty
bourgeois Jews yesterday protest
ed" against the present situation in
Palestine where the Jews and Ar
abs melted by British imperialism
are slaughtering one another while
the British and Jewish capitalists
who exploit workers of both races
accumulate tremendous profits.
Starting at Tenth st. and Second
Ave, large delegation marched to
City Hall where they were received
by Mayor Walker. AS they marched
they sang Jewish national songs
and the Star Spangled Banner. AT
ter leaving city hall they continued
to the British consulate on White
hall St., where a committee of three
called on the consul, the majority
of the paraders disbanding and 60
ing home.
Led by Imperialists.
The parade was led by the Jewish
Legion which was formed by the no.
torious British Jewish imperialist,
General Zabotinsky, who organized
the Legion in 1914 on promise
from Great Britain that Palestine
would be turned over to Jewish cap
italists.
To show their loyalty to British
Imperialism, the Jewish Legion, led
by Zabotinsky fought in the years
1915 and 1917 against the exploited
masses of Dublin, Syria and Turkey.
A mass protest meeting against
British imperialism will be held to-
morrow night at Irving Plaza hall,
Irving Plaza and 18th St., under
the auspices of the Jewish Bureau
of the Communist Party. The speak
ers will include M. J. Olgin, Morris
Wyneshensky, M. Epstein, and X.
Marmar.
