Gentlemen of the Agency: '
In the last two issues of the
Chronicle we printed an open
letter to the United Nations
committee on Palestine, sug-
gesting a plan of partition that
would be fair and equitable to
all parties concerned. The plan
suggested was heard on the
following premises:
(a) That based on historical,
political and legal documents
from the Biblical era to the
present Palestine Mandate,
Palestine includes Cis-Jordan
and Trans-Jordan, an area of
roximately 50,000 square

ife

s.

) That England's severance
of Trans-Jordan from Palestine
and declaring it an independent
Arab kingdom a year ago has
no legal basis whatsoever.
c) That if partition is to be
applied it must be applied to
the whole Palestinian territory
and not to a part thereof.

RIGHTS REAFFIRMED
HOWEVER, AS WE GO to
press, the United Nations com-
mittee has come out with a
majority report favoring a par-
tition of the 10,000 square
miles now known as Palestine.
Don't think for a minute,
gentlemen, that we weren't'
aware of the possibilities of a
partition as recommended by
the United Nations committee
nor must you fail to recognize
the importance of our proposal
made in the previous issues of
•our newspaper.
We aid not come out with a
scheme for partition with the
thought that it would -actually
be accepted but we 'do so • for
the sake of -posterity , and for
the sake of the record that at
no time have we relinquished
our rights to the entire state
of Palestine.
• • •

BRITISH ARGUMENT
• AS YOU GENTLEMEN will
remember, when the 1922 White
Paper was issued, it declared
"that Palestine
as a whole
should not be converted into a
Jewish National Home but that
such a Home should be founded
in Palestine." That paper was
accepted "through the agency
Of the Zionist Organization."
From then on until the pre-
sent, Britain has attempted to
use that as an effective argu-
ment against a Jewish State in
Palestine.
Gentlemen, we are opposed
to partition of any kind, and
you must not accept partition
of any kind because you have
no authority to do so unless
you violate the terms of the
mandate, the terms of the
Bible, the terms of trust that
were bestowed upon you.

PRIVATE SATISFACTION
YOU MUST NOT GO on
record as accepting partition.
True, you personally may be
pleased with any scheme of
partition that will give the
Jewish people a viable state
and will allow for immediate
igration. We are, too. It is
er than nothing. But to ac-
t such partition would be
a violation of a trust ,to your
people and eternity.
You must not put yourself
in a position to your people
nad eternity.
You must not put yourself
in a position wherein you will
never again be able to come be-
fore the world and ask for "Le-
bensraum" if any such emer-
gency should arise simply be-
cause you have accepted the
present -scheme of •partition.
- • • •

ally may rejoice at a little bit
of justice for the Jewish people
and while you personally may
favor any decent scheme of
partition, as representatives of
the Jewish people, as represen-
tatives of those who are yet to
be born, ytiu have no author-
ity to indorse such partition.
However, if the world wishes to
impose such partition upon us,
we have no alternative but to
accept the morsel.
This may sound technical
bit, gentlemen, it is not. You

know and I know that even the
best scheme of partition
wherein we even get 60 per-
cent of the present Palestine,
while it might serve to alleviate
present day suffering of the
DP's, there may' come a day
when more room will be neces-
sary.

Do not be the agents for
closing the doors forever to
those who might come after

US.

ern corner of the Safad sub-
district; thence it follows the
western boundary of the Tiber-
ias subdistrict to a point just
east of Mount Tabor; thence
southwards to the point of inter-
section southeast of Afula men-
tioned above. The southwestern
boundary of western Galilee
takes a line from this point,
passing south of Nazareth and
Shafr Amr, but north of Beit
Lahm, to the coast just south of
Acre.
The boundary of the hill coun-
try of Samaria and Judea start-
ing on the Jordan River south-
east of Beisan follows the north-
ern boundary of the Samaria
district westwards to the point
of intersection southeast of Af-
ula, thence again westwards to
Lajjun, thence in a southwestern
direction, passing just west of
Tulkarm, east of Qualqila and
west of Majdal Yaba, thence
bulging westwards towards
Rishon-Le-Zion so as to include
Lydda and Ramleh in, the Arab
state, thence, turning again east;
wards to a point west of Latrun,
thereafter following the north-
ern side of the Latrun-Majdal
road to the second point of in-
tersection, thence southeastwards
to a point on the Hebron sub-
district boundary south of Qub-
eiba, thence following the south-
ern boundary of the Hebron sub-
district to the Dead Sea.
The Arab section of the coast-
al plain runs from a point a few
miles north of Isdud to the
Egyptian frontier extending in-
land approximately 8 kilometers.

The Jewish State

The northeastern sector of the
proposed Jewish state (eastern
Galilee) will have frontiers with
the Lebanon in the north and
west and with Syria and Trans-
Jordan on the east and will in-
clude the whole of the Huleh
basin, Lake Tiberias and the
whole of the Beisah subdistrict.
From Beisan the Jewish state
will extend northwest following

the boundary described in re-
spect of the Arab state.
The Jewish sector on the coast-
al plain extends from a point
south of Acre to just north of
Isdud in the Gaza sub-district
and includes the towns of Haifa,
Tel Aviv and Jaffa.
EASTERN BORDER
The eastern frontier of the
Jewish state follows the bound-
ary described in respect of the
Arab state.
The Beersheba area includes
the whole of the Beersheba sub-.
district, which includes the Ne-
gev and the eastern part of the
Graza subdistrict south of the
point of intersection. The north-
ern boundary of this area, from
the point of intersection, runs
southeastwards to a point on the
Hebron 'sub-district boundary
south of Qubeiba, thence follows
the southern boundary of the
Hebron subdistrict to the Dead
Sea.

Bias is Denied
by Wyoming s
Cage Mentor

'

Everett Shelton, Wyoming
University basketball coach who
reportedly called out derogatory
remarks at Jewish opponents
when his team played in New
York last winter, has denied that
he is intolerant, the Intermoun-
tain Jewish News reported.
"Regardless of what was re-
ported, I wish to state categori-
cally that I told no feeling of
bias whatsoever against any ra-
cial or religious group," he de-
clared.
"I believe there is no place
in sports—or in any other ac-
tivity in American life—for in-
tolerance, bigotry or discrimina-
tion".
From Oklahoma City comes a
report that Al Rosen, third ,base-
man, continues to stay over the
.350 mark in the Texas League
and is nearing the establishment
of six records.
