NO HOME LOAN
FRAUDS HERE

Although investigations are be-
ing made in several sections of
the country into complaints that
home owners are being defrauded
by persons imperSonating Federal
Housing Administration officials,
no cases have been uncovered in
the District, officials said today.
This was disclosed by FHA au-
thoritieS here today, after reports
had reached Washington that
three men were held by New York
police on charges of racketeering
under the housing program.
HouseholderS in the District, it
was said, have been immune from
the wiles of confidence men who
prey upon pockethooks by claim
ing they represent the FHA.
The New York men are being
investigated on various counts,
one being "impersonating a Fed
eral officer and embezzlement of
Government funds" FHA au.
thorities in New York, who re-
vealed credulous citizens had
sometimes paid several hundred
dollars to strange men, said the
investigation is expected to lead
to a series of arrests.

There are some expectant mothers

Meets Jews Sunday
On Sunday he meets seven of
the most prominent Jewish lead
ers in religion, finance, and poll
tics, including DR.. Chain Weiz-
mann, head of the World ZionistS,
and presents the same proposal
to them, endeavoring to reconcile
it with Jewish aspirations under
Britain's promise of a national
home for Jews in Palestine.
A condition of tense excitement
prevails throughout the country
on the eve of these difficult nego-
tiationS, which promise to be de-
ciSive in the political history of
Palestine.
The aims and aspirations of the
Jews and Arabs are in direct con-
fhct. 1t is simple open and Shut
question of which of them is going
to run the country, and antago-
nism between both is so embit-
tered that extremist elements are
quite prepared to resort to arms.
Both sides are secretly literally
armed to the teeth. If the confer
ences fail to produce peaceful
solution, the British fear wide
spread outbreaks and wholesale
blood-letting which will make the
Egyptian nationalist riots look
like Schoolboy mischief.
Arms Smuggled
Millions of rounds of smallarm
ammunition, together with car
fridge drums for machine guns
and automatic rifles, have been
Smuggled into the country despite
efforts of the British to keep them
out. ,
These private munitions OF war
are hidden in secret arsenals, but
are oiled and loaded ready for
action whenever trouble starts,
The Jews are determined there
shall be no repetition of the 1925
horrors, when hundreds OF Jews
were killed not only in street
fighting with Arabs, but were mur'
dered in their homes by hate
crazed fanatics who started a
houSe-to-house determination.
Since 1923 the Jewish popula-
tion of Palestine has jumped from
40, 900 to today's estimated $50, 900
This tremendous influx of 100000
Jews from other parts of the world
is entirely different than the 40,,
600 Old Palestine Jews who lived
here in docile submission and splr,
itual reflection under the tolera'
ton of Moslems who occupied
then, as now, Jewish sacred places
of the Holy City.
Fighting Stock
New newcomers, or young, fight
ing stock, are unwilling to turn
the other cheek and accept condi'
tions as Palestinian co-reigionists
have in the past century. Most OF
them have tasted liberty and
equality in democratic countries
of the West, and many, from
strenuous service in armies of the
World War, are more familiar
with words of military commands
than with poetic phrases of the
Talmud.
Moreover, they have new

100000 Jews throughout the
world.
The 100000 Arabs of Palestine,
outnumbering the Jews about
three-to-one, are keenly conscious
of the modern spirit replacing the
former Jewish humility, and their
fears are mounting daily that the
Jews are making rapid forward
strides in their aims to repoSsess
the Holy Land and gradually
push the Arab farmers and shep-
herds eastward into the barren
buttes of wilderness and unfertile
hills of the Moabites and Ammon-
ties beyond the valley Of the Dead
Sea.
Arabs to Unite
The Arabs will forget their inner
tribal political differences to pre-
sent a united front and an almost
completely united demand for a
more representative government
in which they can exercise their
numerical superiority over the
Jews by the action of restricting
Jewish immigration and prevent
ing further sale of lands to Jews.
The Jewish representatives will
stand by the Balfour declaration
promising a national home for
the Jews.
