ZIONIST Head
REJECTS PLAN
FOR PALESTINE
Maintains British Mandate
There Not Yet Proved
Failure

ZURICH, Switzerland, Aug. 8,
(UP)-Rabbi Stephen A. Wise,
president of the Zionist organiza-
ton of America, yesterday reject
ed Great Britain's plan to parti-
ton Palestine in an address be-
fore the Zionist congress.
He insisted that the British
mandate had not proved to be 4
failure but added that it often
seemed Britain as trustee mot
only failed to try but almost tried
to fail" to bring peace to the
Holy Land.
He accepted in principle a jew
ish state but not a divided Pales-
tine and warned that the terri
tory offered Jews is little
more than mournful miniature
of the reminder of the Balfour
declaration and the British man
date"
Lord Balfour, during the World
war, promised the Jews nation
al home in the Holy Land but in
sisted that the rights of the Arabs
who outnumbered the Jews 10 to
/ should be respected.
Although he spoke as president
of the U. S. Zionists, Wise repre-,
senred only small minority OF
the American delegates to the
congress. He is one of only -four
from a total of 20 who announc'
ed their intention to vote against
a resolution for negotiation on
the basis of the partition plan.

NEW YORK, June 19.-Commodity

The entire complexion OF the COM
modify picture has changed in re-
cent months. From November, 1896,

charged ahead to one new peak after
another. In the past two and half
months, however, they have slid
without interruption until the last OF

washed away.
The Associated Press weighted in
dex Of 35 important wholesale COM
modify prices dropped to 1901 per
cent of the 1926 average from 1857

rains had added materially to prob
able harvests. Wheat moved up
slightly on prospects of a short Ca
madam crop and rust in the United

also nudged ahead.
Demand for textile products ebbed
further as consumers waited for
growing mill inventories to force
greater price cuts. Cotton cloth and
silk both gave ground. Cotton manu-
featuring activity, however, gave no
evidence Of the distribution tangle.
