Britain, he said, remains respon-
sible for the maintenance of or-
der in Palestine, and is opposed
to any settlement by force. Con-
sultations are proceeding with the
Arabs regarding Jewish immigra-
tion to Palestine, pending the rec-
ommendations which will be made
by the Anglo-American commit-
tee, he disclosed. Jewish immigra-
tion to Palestine will continue un-
der the White Paper ratio, he
added.
Meanwhile, Bevin was charged
with prejudging the finding of the
projected Anglo-American inquiry
committee on Palestine by assert-
ing that Palestine alone cannot
grapple with the Jewish problem,
not even the Jewish refugee prob-
lem.
Counter Charges
Eve
The charge was made by David
Ben-Gurion, chairman of the ex-
ecutive of the Jewish Agency, ad-
dressing a press conference under
the chairmanship of Moshe Sher-
tok, head of the Agency's political
department. He said that Bevin's
statement on Palestine is a shock-
ing disappointment, because it con-
tinues the British White Paper in
a modified form. "Jews will never
agree to make the return to their
homeland dependent upon any-
body else's consent," he stated.
"They will never renounce their
claim for statehood."
There has been no contact be-
tween leaders of the Jewish Agen-
cy and the British Government
since Colonial Secretary George
Hall handed the Bevin statement
on Palestine to Ben-Gurion and
She•tok, but an early meeting is
being arranged, it was reported by
authoritative British sources.
Inquiry Committee
The same sources stated that
the Government is expected to an-
nounce the names of the British
members of the Anglo-American
inquiry committee on Palestine be-
fore a one-day debate on the Pal-
estine issue takes place in Par-
liament next week. "It is under-
stood that there will be some un-
orthodox surprises among the per-
sons chosen on the British side,"
they said. There was no indica-
tion as to whether an American or
a Briton will be the first to fill
the committee's rotating chair-
manship. Efforts will be made to
keep the committee within a rea-
sonable size, and to avoid person-
alities who have been strongly
identified with either the Jewish
or Arab viewpoint, it was re-
ported.

cal session dedicated to the con-
sideration of the Jewish land
policy which is to be pursued dur-
ing the period of the struggle and
to a comprehensive agricultural
resettlement program for the sur-
vivors of the Nazi massacres in
European lands.
The land acquisition and agri-
cultural resettlement p r o g r am
which is to be carried out by the
Jewish National Fund, the instru-
mentality of the Zionist movement
for the acquisition and reclama-
tion of the soil of Palestine as
national property, was considered
and adopted at a Luncheon Ses-
sion presided over by Judge Mor-
ris Rothenberg, of New York,
President of the Jewish National
Fund of America, who reported
that the Fund remitted the
amount of $6,146,998.25 to Jeru-
salem for land purchase during
the year which ended on Septem-
ber 30, 1945. The action was
takEn on the basis of plans sub-
mitted to the Convention by Dr.
Abraham Granovsky, renowned
authority on the Palestine land
problem and Chairman of the
Board of Directors of the World
Jewish National Fund, of Jeru-
salem, who is now visiting the
United States.
for Today and Tomorrow
Always, Michigan industries have had the
know-how and even in the pit of depres-
sion—the courage to expand and prepare.
Hence, when war came Michigan could take
the lead and become the "Arsenal of De-
mocracy."
So, too, Michigan s electrical needs always
have been anticipated by The Detroit Edison
Company. Long before the war, orders had
been placed for two ioo,000-horsepower gen-
erators. One was delivered and put in oper-
ation during the war. The second is being
installed and will be in operation sometime
in 1946. We expect that more current will
be used for peace than was needed for war.
There will be no "standing in line" for that
current.
The Detroit Edison Company is ready to
serve.all the electrical needs of southeastern
Michigan today and tomorrow.
