UNDERSTANDING
 BETWEEN ARABS
 AND JEWS ASKED
Dr Chaim Weizman, in His
 Valedictory Speech at
 Basic, DeplOred Any
 More BlOOdshed
By WILLIAM ZUKERMAN United Press Correspondent

Basic, Switzerland, July 1.-(UP) A powerful appeal for an under standing between the Jews and Arabs in Palestine was delivered by Dr Chaim WeiZmann, former head of the Zionist organization, in his farewell address" to the 17th Zion ist Congress here to-day.
 Dr WeiZmann, in lengthy ad- dress during which he insisted that he was laying down my office form ally and definitely" deplored the re- current Arab-Jewish riots which in the past have caused untold suffer- ing and bloodshed in Palestine.
 Although appealing for an amica- ble understanding, Dr Weizmann said the Arabs must be convinced by word and deed that whatever the future relationship between the two in Palestine, we contemplate no poli- tical combination"
 "We desire to achieve an under standing between these two ancient and kindred races on terms of politi- cal equality based on Lord Pass fields white paper" Dr Weizmann said, (which, however, are made fully clear by Premier MacDonald's s letter."
 Dr Weizmann reviewed his rela- tionship in the Zionist movement since 1916 to date. He dealt chief ly with the political history before and after the Balfour declaration, declaring bluntly that "the Balfour declaration admittedly was vague document, the result chiefly of Brit ish Biblical sentiments and wartime i idealism which must be readjusted | to postwar reactions"
 The most eloquent part of his speech was devoted to a defense of his pro-British policy.
 Dr Weizmann said his only Brit ish disappointment during all the years of his dealings with them in | the Zionist movement was the dec laration that they had never meant to support the establishment of a Jewish state, but only a common homeland with the Arabs in Pales- tine where two autonomous civiliza- tions exist side by side.

BOSTON & MAINE
 RAILROAD WILL AID NEW ENGLAND
Foreign Trade Service in Europe, the Near East and South America Has Been Established

Boston, July. 1.-(UP)-Preside Edward s. French today announced esta blishment by the Boston & Maine railroad of foreign trade service in Europe, the near east, and South America, to benefit New England industries and ports and the railroad itself.
 The Bush Service corporation has contracted to make it's 700-odd of fices and direct agencies in princi- pal manufacturing centers of Eu- rope and the Near East direct rep resentatives and agents for the rail- road, according to the announce ment.
 The project was under consider ation for a year, French said, and 1t was decided to launch it now because of the prospect for an in- crease in trade with the nations of Europe and the world as a re- suit of President Hoover's action in initiating postponement of repar- ations settlements"
 The foreign trade program, ac- cording to French, is designed for "the creation and extension of com mercial contacts to promote the sale of New England products; the transportation, storage and distribu- tion of merchandise, and the fi- nancing, in cooperation with bank CTS, of these sales and the move ment of the products.
 "It will direct shipments, both import and export through the New England ports served by the Bos- ton and Maine and otherwise will be operated to give the railroad benefits in the movement of goods through other ports. The services in sales promotion will be without charge to New England industries. and while neither the railroad nor it's agents can attempt to actually sell goods. they can and will aid in promoting sales outlets"
