British Cabinet Hedges continue to administer the Man- date unaided. It is understood that Colonial Secretary Arthur Creech-Jones is scheduled to leave by air for Flushing Meadow, and will tell the UN General Assembly that Britain wants to withdraw its troops from Palestine if the As- sembly backs the UNSCOP ma- jority report without any re- visions. The press also states that Creech-Jones will carry a per- sonal message from Foreign Minister Bevin to Secretary of State Marshall, suggesting that while whatever decision the As- sembly reaches is being imple- mented, there must be some re- vision of Britain's responsibility for maintaining the peace in !Palestine. It is reported that the cabinet was disinclined to accept either the majority or minority UN- SCOP recommendations as they stand and feels that some new solution or a modification of the UNSCOP recommendations is necessary. The majority of the cabinet indicated that they fav- ored quitting Palestine, but do not plan any sudden British withdrawal, but rather a short- ening of the two-year transition period recommended by the UN Special Committee. • • • Neumann Hears Report Is ACcepted NEW YORK (JTA) — Dr. Emanuel Neumann, president of the Zionist Organization of America, termed the reported decision by the British cabinet to accept the majority recom- mendation of the United Na. tions committee an "encourag- ing development." (There is no verification of the report hailed by Dr. Neumann.) The Zionist leader, however, was careful to indicate that it is not clear from the London re- ports whether the acceptance by the British cabinet is tied to con- ditions, and pointed out that "everything will depend upon the nature of such conditions." He added that if true, the de- cision of the cabinet affords an opportunity for all Big Five powers to act to unison to solve the Palestine problem once and for all. Dr. Neumann spoke at the first meeting of the recently-elected national Zionist administrative council, the ruling parliamentary body of the Zionist Organiza- tion between conventions. The council adopted a reso- lution appealing to the United States government to grasp the present opportunity when the Palestine problem is being re- solved before the United Na- tions, to make good its inten- tions and declarations in favor of the establishment of a Jewish State. •
