That night, when I went to show Kaplan, my boss, the resolutions
about what should be done in the rural areas, which was in the hands of the
Jewish Agency, he said to me, "Come to my hotel and we'll discuss it."
It was three o'clock in the morning.
There was snow, and it was dark and cold.
I went to him without speaking a word.
He was deeply depressed because he had been beaten, and he was
frightened, really frightened.
He had told Ben Gurion, "You are leading the Jewish People to a
second shore, because you don't know what you are facing by fighting the
British."
