Palestine Jews Plan
To Fiqht British Policy

JERUSALEM, May Is @.-
Jewish leaders were reported yes
terday to be drafting the most
drastic plans they ever have pro-
posed in an effort to defeat Britains
expected new policy for Palestine.
Reliable sources here expressed
belief that Britain might put the
white paper, scheduled for issuance
Wednesday, into effect Immediately
after its publication and said Jews
would make every effort to pre-
vent what they generally believe
will mean the end of Palestine as
their national home.
David Ben Gurion, chairman of
the Palestine Jewish Agency EXecu-
tive, met with Jewish leaders from
all over the Holy Land to consider
anti-White paper plans and consid
cradle activity was noted also
among other Jewish political
leaders.
There was no immediate indica-
ton. however, Of what form their
plans might take.
Palestine authorities, meanwhile,
apparently made plans to put the
new policy into force
All illegal Jewish immigrants in
concentration camps at Haifa and
Sarafand have been released and
their numbers are being deducted
from forthcoming Jewish immigra-
ton schedules.
The government also began re-
leasing Arabs detained in military
camps during British Army maneu-
vers, although control was being
kept over them through daily police
checkups.

Chamberlain Gives

Palestine This Week
Jewish Buckers to Ask
Freedom From Party
Lines in Vote
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, May 15-Jewish lead
ers indicated today that they would
ask Prime Minister Chamberlain to
give his supporters in the House of
Commons freedom to vote inde-
pendent of party lines on the gov
ernment's new policy in Palestine.
Mr.. Chamberlain announced in
the House of Commons that a white
paper, or government statement, on
Palestine would be issued Wednes-
day at 7 pm. Il pm, E. S. To. He
said one day of debate would be al
lowed on the government formula.
Jews have bitterly opposed the
plan, which is said to propose that
Palestine be made an independent
Arab state with Jews as minority.
Reliable quarters said the policy
was based on four main points:
/. Restriction of Jewish immigra-
tion into Palestine to $4,000 during
the next five years, Jewish immigra-
ton to depend on Arab consent after
that.
2. Restriction of land sales to Jews
at the discretion of the British high
commissioner.
8. Addition of Jews and Arabs to
the Palestine executive and advisory
councils in the proportion of two
Arabs to one Jew for the next 10
years.
4. Arab-Jewish cooperation dur
ing that period, with the British
gradually relinquishing control Of
the state to a national assembly,
In which Arabs will have a majority.

Most of the leaders of a strike

caravans of pickets were halted, at

The strikers were also protagon-

picketing law in constitutional
proceeding in federal court.
Farmers charged that most OF
the workers on strike were on
strike because of fear, not because
they were dissatisfied with their
wage Because of that, they offered
to protect them. They estimated
that 20 per cent of MADEIRA county's
5000 migratory cotton pickers, a

to say they plan to move their
strike organization south to I'm

closely following the lines of the
San Joaquin trouble.
Already three of the we'll known
radical leaders have been seen in

borne said he was informed by un-
usually reliable sources.
Newspaper accounts reveal that
the leaders in the San Joaquin
strike are virtually the same as
those who headed the strikers in
Imperial Valley in 1884" Osborne
said. They probably plan revenge
for the 1884 strike failure.
Il understand these radicals have
planned for months to upset the
economic situation of the valley.
The presence of these we'll known
radicals in the north-end of the
valley bears out the threat"
Radical leaders have been working
among the agricultural laborers who
work in Imperial Valley in the VIM

in the summer, he declared.
These radicals were heard to say
they have enlisted in the organiza-

ficient numbers of the migratory
group to call a strike in Imperial
Valley this fall he said. They in

they were in the north during the
summer and early fall.
Imperial Valley residents must
present their customary united front
to combat the work of these radical

selves for failure here in the past,
Osborne declared.
Thus far no other radical activity
has been brought to his attention,
