r.
The decisions were denounced
by the five Arab members of the
UN wio declared that they are
planning to ignore the inquiry
commission and refuse any co-
operation.
The action of the UN was a vic-
tory on the two main counts for
the United States and Ilreat
Britain, who backed the Agency
viewpoint, as against Russia
which favored the Arab conten-
tions.
-
First, the UN political com-
mittee, by a vote of 26 to 15 with
12 abstentions, voted that the in-
quiry commission need not be
obliged to recommend early inde-
pendence for Palestine.. Second,
voting 26 to 6 with 21 abstentions,
the committee upheld the view
that the Big Five must be barred
from the investigative body.
The following nations will make
up the inquiry commission:
Australia, Canada, Czechoslovakia,
Guatemala, India, Iran, the Neth-
erlands, Peru, Sweden, Uruguay
and Yugoslvaia.
IIAS WIDE POWERS
The commission will have wide
powers to go anywhere In the
world and question anybody it
wishes in arriving at recommen-
dations for a solution of the
Palestine problem. '
In preferring the small inquiry
commission, Jewish Agency circles
had in mind that such a body of
neutral governments would have
the following advantages:
I. The Arab states would he
excluded from it, thus eliminating
the inequality between Arabs and
Jews, since the Agency has ' no
possibility of being represented on
the inquiry body.
2, The Soviet Union would not
be on the commission, thus pre-
venting another probable pro-Arab
vote, since the U.S.R.R. is for the
abolition of the mandate and the
declaration, without delay,

BIG 5 IS BARRED
WASHINGTON (WNS) — Secre-
'ary of State George C. Marshall,
.larifying a letter he had written
in answer to a query made by a
group of 30 Republicans in Con-
gress regarding American policy
on Palestine, declared that there
has been no change in American
policy and that the position taken
by the American delegate at the
special session of the General As-
sembly was in no way indicative
of any change of American policy.
Marshall said that America was
interested in the creation of an
international commission to in-
vestigate the problem and that
he was of the opinion that a neu-
tral commission, instead of one in-
cluding representatives of the
great powers, would best serve the
purpose.

lican congressmen, the Secretary
