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.

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. THE DETROIT EDISON CO .
