:TEL AVIV^ (WNS — Palcor,; Agency)—Admitting that the disturb¬ ances in Palestine had ca.st a shadow over, thc occasion of the opening of the ¦ Levant Fair, the fourth biennial exhibition Of thc country's agricul: ¦tural and industrial development, British Colonial, Secretary .J. H. TliOmas, speaking hy radio from'Lon¬ don in the oiwiiing ceremonies of the Fair, expressed confidence that this year's Fair would surpass the success of preceding years. Tremendous crowds surged about the Fair Grounds for. the opening. exercises. Despite the tension w'^i'^l' P''cV^i'3 in inany parts of the country, thousandb of visitors are coming into Tel Aviv from all sections of Palestine. Thc greatest traffic is coming from Jeru- salen^ The main entrance of the FaiF is decorated with .the flags of all nations taking i>art in .the exhibition, topped by the pennant carrying thc Flying Camel which is the symbol of th'e Fair.   ,    : . ^
In his speech, .Mr. Thomas pointed out that ' the Intcrimtiohal Levant Fair is the key to the markets of the Near and Middle East. ,/Addressing the crowds assembled in the all-JeVvr ish-city, the Colonial Secretary said: "The growth of your, remarkable cit) hks been strikingly rapid, ahd the de¬ velopment of the Levant F^ir is not the least of' your- achieyiemeiits. It began in 192& as a small exhibition of. lo'c^l produce arid within the space of nine years, thanks to hard,work, enthusiasm and constructive imagina¬ tion on the part of those responsible- for its inception, it has developed into ari institution of which any. great, city of the world could be proud. In -IDS-l 2,000 , exhibiting firms were drawn ,from 32 countries. The number of visitors and exhibitors, has increased every two years.. The unhappy events of the last two weeks naturally c.^st¦a deep shadow Over Jhis-occa¬ sion, but I am confident that the sad happenings, will not prevent the or¬ ganizers of the, Fair from repeating and surpassing the remarkable success achieved two years ago. On behalf of Hi^ Majesty's Qovernment, I wish the Levant Fair great and meiriprable success and extend a cordial welcome to exhibitors from whatever land they may come."    .       ¦ ^.
Owing- to the Jaflfa port strike, wh,ich delayed clearance of the .for¬ eign exhibits, the, opening of the overseas pavilion was postponed for two days. The,agricultural.^how will be inaugurated on Lag B'Oiner (May -lOth). A strong police guard-was thrown about the Fair ground.to pre¬ vent any possible disturbances. During the period of the Fair the police will maintain steady patrols through stra¬ tegic points in Tel Aviv. In an effort to discourage, traflic. froUi [ reaching the Levant Fair, Arabs strewed nails on all routes leading to Tel Aviv, but the cars managed to enter the t^ity in .great nuritberg, .
The Hebrew press published large supplements., in connection with the opening of the-Fair. Editorially the papers . declared tiiat the ' opening of the Fair despite the disturbed condi¬ tions is a symbol of the Jewish meth¬ ods in Palestine, which "are j peace, construction culture... and ' creation urider any circumstances."

Dr. Frefehof has had a brilliant career in the ministry since his ordi' nation at the" Hebrew Union College 1915, For several years after his graduation he served as an instructor at.the College, si)Cci:^lizing. in the field, of Jewish liturgy.

PARTS (WNS)—Because a Jewish premier would complicate the already delicate political relations between Nazi Germany; and France, and be¬ cause the French Fascists would find Jew at the head ' of the 'French government a , shining target, Leon Blum, leadec of the French Socialist Party, "will not accept the premier¬ ship of France, a post which he tan rightfully claim as a result of the parliamentary election. The sweeping victory of the united left .wing Popu¬ lar Froht gave the Socialists the bal¬ ance of power in the new Chamber of Deputies and as their, leader Blum would normally become.premier. He has indicated, however, that 1 he will not accept, the post, ostensibly be¬ cause of his,health.   ¦.       ;
The triiyhph, of the left -wrings is regarded in-political circles here as foreshadowing a stifffcr attitude the part of the French, government toward Nazi propaganda in France.

"Britain Cannot Allow Doubts About Balfour Declaration/' Times Says
LONDON, MAY 5 (WNS-Pal¬ cor Agcncy)-^Concluding a thorough¬ going survey of the effects of the disturbances in Palestine during the past sixteen days, the,London Times today concludes its emphatic remarks with the observation that "now when many international pledges have been broken and the Jews are driven in desperation from one country,' it is hardly the time .for the British Gov¬ ernment ,to allow any doubts as to its determination to, carry out the prom¬ ise of 1917." The views of tlie Lon-. don Times are contained in its lead¬ ing editorial. Remarking that the troops and the police sccrii to have , the Situation in hand, though disturb¬ ing incidents coptinue, the editorial expresses the view that half the Arab leaders are desirous of ending the , strike, while the others vyish to irii- press the British Giovernment with ¦ thb,strength and unity of the Arabs, "which is a needless, maneuver," and also to obtain a ruling against fur-. ther Jewish immigration.
"This  is  iiripossible,"  the  editorial declares^'^for British, policy and re- ': sponsibility, were  clearly  emphasized Parliament by Colonial, Secretary Thomas   the  other  day   as :iollows: ¦The   Govemmerit   will   not , deviate frbm  itS: policy because of riots or . threats.'"   In fact, the Arabs are.re¬ questing the  revocation of  the  Bal-   , four Declaration, but succeeding; gov¬ ernments have adhered ,to the pledge given to the Jews and bpth races are the   gainers,   the   Times   emphasizes.   ; The  Jews  and  Arabs,  the  editorial continues,: .follow   the . characteristics of  their  traditional  ancestors,  Isaac  . and Ishmaef.   The former was anin- dustrioiis, obedient tiller with profi.t from  .the  land   which   was   barren,- while . Ishmael   vvas .an   archer, and fighter, wild.and-headstrong. . .
Alluding   to   recent istatements; in Parliament about -the surplus of the   ' Palestine   Government   mounting   to more than £6,000,000, the Times at-¦ tributed this, "mainly to., Jewish thrift and^:cfficiency..il.Genuine .anxiety.Awas.-'^- felt, , the. editorial   says, %hen,,the British  Governinent weeks ago con-. templated   the    establishment    of    a Legislative Courici) with an Arab pia- jority.    This  anxiety  was   increased. tenfold among the Jews - because, qf,'. tlie   fear  that   tHe   Governnient: was. also to impose a ban on Jewish im¬ migration.     The   editorial ; concludes , with the reference to making clear to the world England's determination; to adhere to the Balfour Declaration;:    •:
What has happened in Palestine is not a racial clash but, cold-blooded and savage murder by Arabs of Jews, according to a sumniary of the Pales¬ tine events appearing in today's Lon- ; don Morning Post froiri its Jerusa¬ lem correspondents. The Arab strike is doomed, tp failure, the review de¬ clares, because the other communities are ready to work. The outbreaks; were a God-send to the So-called; Arab leaders fighting .among, them¬ selves, the correspondentasserts. Re¬ ferring to the demand for a ban oh land sales to Jews, the ^writer state?, that "those shouting loudest sold to the Jews with enormous profits to themselves."      ' : -^
cut tactics throughout his public serv¬ ice prompted Nelson Poynter, editor of the Columbus Citizen, to endorse him in his editorial columns of a few weeks ago.
It is no wonder, then, that sUch a representative group of men have ral¬ lied to Mr. Garek's support, and are doing eyerytliing in their power to see him lead the ticket at next Tuesday's primaries. Among the prominent citizens who are campaigning in his behalf are Judge John E. Safer, C, C, Crabbe. W. B. McLesky, John F. Cariisle, Robert L. Barton, Fred C Rector, E. J. Schanfarber, M, A.
