Jewish Agency Joins
in Defying Demands
Refuses to Inform on Extremists,
Assails Provocations by British
JERUSALEM, (JTA)—The Jewish Agency followed the
ewish iNTational Council this week and rejected the ulti-
nat.im presented to them by the Palestine government.
A few hours before the expiration of the seven-day
waiting period specified in the ultimatum, the Agency told
Chief Secretary Henry Gurney that any appeal by it to
the Jewish population, ask i n g
them to inform on the extrem-
ists would not only be ineffective,
but would be likely to cause more
harm than good.
"The Agency desires to point
out the grave responsibility the
government would be assuming by
resorting to reprisals and col-
lective punishments against an en-
tire community for acts commit-
ted by a small minority who are
flouting the authority of that com-
munity," the reply said.
INCONSISTENT ACT
"The executive is fully alive to
the dangers threatening the Jew-
ish people from the growth of the
terrorist movement in Palestine,"
it continued. "It holds, however,
that restoration of peace and or-
der is inextricably bound up with
a solution of the political prob-
lem of the country.
"It therefore came as a painful
surprise to the executive that at
the very time of discussions be-
tween His Majesty's Government
and the Jewish Agency, aiming
at a satisfactory settlement, the
Palestine government should have
precipitated this issue by addres-
sing to the Agency a communica-
tion which could but cause grave
concern, and may lead to further
deterioration of the situation"
3 MORE GET DEATH
Three more young Jews were
sentenced to death this week and
one to life imprisonment by • a
British military court which con-
victed them of illegal possession
of arms and offering resistance to
British troops.
Hayitn Gorovelski, 17, received
the life term, apparently because
of his youth, while Dov Rosen-
baum, 24, Eiiezer Kashani, 23, and
Mordecai Elkushi, 21, were con-
demned to death. After sentence
had been pronounced, they arose
and sang Hatikvah.
The four were captured at a
road block between Tel-Aviv and
Lydia on Dec. 29, during a coun-
trywide manhunt for members of
the Irgun Zval Leumi who flogged
a British officer and several sol-
diers. When the were seized in a
taxi that tried to crash through
the road barrier, they had a
sub-machinegun, two revolvers,
four bombs and two rawhide whips.
A fifth man in the taxi died as
a result of wounds.
Agency Rejects
Cantonment Plan
(Continued from page 1)
Jews will ask that, while it is
under consideration, the status of
the mandate be restored. This, he
pointed out, would mean the
abrogation of the restrictive land
laws and the removal of immigra-
tion bars.
The British proposals, informed
circles said, were rejected for the
following reasons:
1. The proposed admission of
100,000 Jews to Palestine is not
satisfactory because it is spread
over a period of two years.
2. The Agency regards the Brit-
ish proposal as ruling out the pos-
sibility of the establishment of a
Jewish State.
3. There is no assurance that
the land and water resources of
Palestine will be developed on a
national basis.
4. The proposal, in providing for
a five-year period of trusteeship,
ignores the Jewish demand for a
final solution of the Palestine
problem. The plan thus means five
years of uncertainty leading to
no definite solution.

NEW YORK (WNS)—A resolu-
tion urging the establishment of a
provisional government for a
"Hebrew Republic of Palestine,"
its recognition by the United
States and its admission to
the United Nations was adopted
here by the American League for
A Free Palestine at its two-day
conference. Former U. S. Senator
Guy M. Gillette was re-elected
president.
After turning down a resolution
calling for the establishment of a
Palestine resistance fund by pub.
lie appeal "to provide the Hebrew
Army with guns and munitions
of war," the conference adopted
a resolution calling for support of
the Irgun in every way compatible
with the laws of the United States.
At the same time the conference
attacked the Jewish Agency, ac-
cusing it of promoting appease.
ment and collaboration with the
British.
The conference, attended by 400
delegates, called for an investiga-
tion of British treatment of Jew-
ish prisoners of war ana "war
crimes committed by the British
forces in Palestine" and accused
Britain of waging an undeclared
war against the Hebrew people
with a view to reducing Palestine
to the permanent status of a
colonial country.
One of the principal speakers
was former Secretary of the In-
terior Harold A. Ickes. Mr. Ickes
demanded free Jewish immigra-
tion into Palestiffe under Anglo-
American protection and increased
immigration into the U. S.
The league adopted a budget of
$7,500,000 for 1947. Of this amount
$1,000,000 is for operating ex-
penses, $1,500,000 for the estab-
lishment of the Palestine provi-
sional government, and $5,000,000
for repatriation and relief.
The budget last year was $742,-

THE
NEW, AMERICAN

LIMITED EDITION
The increased need for specific knowledge In Jewish, Judeo
Christian, Islam, the Bible, and in hundreds of thousands of
other subjects, is an outstanding fact in modern life. In this
Atomic Age, there is, in every house, a frequent quest for
authoritative information to explain and to dispose of a moot
point discussed among friends, preached from the pulpit,
heard on the radio, seen in the press, read in some classics,
or in books of 'higher learning. For such purpose there are
many highly specialized volumes costly and hard to obtain
by the average person.
It is to meet such needs for a comprehensive, compact and
inexpensive volume that this edition of the New American
Encyclopedia has been prepared for the Cosmopolitan Press,
under the direction of Dr. Sandor Kaufmann, Editor In Chief
of the American Jewish Encyclopedia, of which Volume I is
now in circulation. All references on the subjects outlined
above and other related subjects are alphabetically arranged.

executive, preacher, speaker and on the desks of all other
professional men.

The Histadrut Stands Prepared, in the Present Crisis
• Labor Palestine — its settlements, its leaders and its institutions — bore the brunt of the attack launched by the British military
on June 29, 1946.
• But the resolute will of our Pioneers was not broken; from this trial of fire the HISTADRUT emerged more determined than
ever to push back the frontiers of Jewish Palestine. Yes, to make more room for their fellow Jews.

In cities they built thousands of houses and new industries.
• Today, the 250,000 men, women and children of the HISTADRUT stand resolute and ready to fight
