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,- 474.83, of which 44.2 percent was spent on repatriation. the Palestine Forum at the Jewish Community Center Tuesday.
