Bases for Conclusions.
The white paper said evidence"
on which these conclusions were
based was derived principally from
seven kilograms which passed be-
tween London and Jerusalem be-
tween September % and November
3, l945; another telegram of last
May, broadcasts by Kol Israel and
information from pamphlets.
The British government pro-
Inouncement said the first of the
telegrams dealt with attacks on
railways, police launches and a
