 Just how far the London govern- ment intends to go in shifting It's program in Palestine remained un- certain The first objective now is military-the ending of revolt that has threatened to inflame all Islam. That is essential to British prestige, already suffering as result of the Nazi triumph at Munich and the quick spread of German influence southeastward
 Worst Is to Come
 But when and if the rebellion is put down, Britain faces the almost impossible task of attempting to restore friendly relations with the Arabs and, at the same time. avoid cmoplete abandonment of the so- called Balfour plan for creation of @ Jewish national home in Palestine "a course that would arouse world wide protests by Jews. Q,
 Britain took over Palestine under mandate from the League Of Na- tons after the World war. It is a mandated territory, not & colony. Britain agreed, under the 1917 Bal- four declaration, to establishment of & Jewish homeland in return for World war assistance. But when Jewish immigration to Palestine be- gan to reach major proportions and especially after thousands of refu- gees from European dictatorial regimes turned toward the Holy Land, the Arabs vigorously protest- ed. They, too, gave Britain valuable aid during the World war and were promised repayment, they insisted.
 Murder, bombings and arson marked the rise Of the Arab rebel lion until 1t now has become an armed and open attack on British authority.
 British Prestige Suffers
 Of importance in the present up- rising was the blow which British prestige suffered at the hands of Nazi Fuehrer Adolf Hitler in tho recent European crisis. It has been charged that Nagis gave indirect encouragement to the rebels. but in any event the rise of German infiu. ence necessarily weakened British control which is now being reas- serted by force of arms.
 In re-establishing military con- trol, Britain Is apparently making an important change in policy. The long-standing proposal for parti- tioning Palestine into Arab and Jewish states, with q British con. trolled corridor between, has been
