PURELY COMMENTARY

Three important declarations were trade
last week with regard to Palestine:
1. The Board of Deputies of British
Jews went on record, by an almost unani-
mous vote, urging that the proposed new
Jewish state in Palestine be made a do-
minion in the British commonwealth of na-
tions.
2. The Zionist Organization of Amer
ica, by a similarly overwhelming majority,
reaffirmed its program in favor of a Jewish
state and condemned those who becloud
the issue that arose as a result of the pro-
posal for the partition of Palestine because
of their opposition to the creation of a
Jewish state.
3. The American Jewish Committee
went on record against the partition plan
and reiterated its faith in the Balfour
Declaration.
These actions serve to indicate that the
issue is becoming clearer and that the di-
vision
in Jewish ranks is definitely emerg-
.
mg between two groups: those who favor
a Jewish state and those who oppose it.
The situation would be different if there
were another way out of the present di-
lemma. But the fact is becoming estab-
lished more clearly every day that with-
out partition the situation will be far worse
because of the restrictions that are being
placed in the path of Jewish entrance into
Palestine. Furthermore, it is apparent that
upon the creation of an independent Jew-
ish state the method of approach to Arab-
