Pierre Van Paassen, author and
foreign correspondent, charges that
England already is laying the
groundwork for maintaining the
British empire and preventing the
Jews from realizing Palestine as
their homeland.
In an address sat memorial
meeting Of more than 1000 men,
bers of the Connecticut Zionist re-
gion last night, Van Paassen said
there will be no peace conferences,
because they are being held every
day in London, Washington and
Casablanca."
The purpose of this is so that
when the war is over the United
Nations will present their people
with accomplished facts and the
plea that the dust Of conflict ought
not to be stirred again" he
charged.
This, he added, is ruse to
maintain the British empire from
disintegration, to keep colonial peo-
pies a part Of the empire and no
matter how large the Jewish con-
tribution to the cause of democracy
and victory over the Axis, the pol
icy of empire will prevent them
from realizing Palestine as their
homeland"
