the transitional authority and the
duration of the transition period.
The first such closed session
was devoted to an exposition
by Moshe Shertok, Jewish Agen-
cy political chief, on the boun-
daries of the Jewish state. Using
a blackboard. Shertok outlined
the parts of Palestine in which
the Jews are particularly inter-
ested and explained why it is
imperative that western Galilee
and other sections of the coun-
try be included in the propOsed
Jewish state.
DECISIONS DELAYED
Herschel Johnson, speaking
for the American delegation, em-
phasized that the United States
had not reached any decision as
yet with regard to the length of
the transition and the
time limit for termination of the
mandate, nor on the question of
the UN administration of Pales-
tine during the transition period.
Meantime, a "compromise" so-
lution of the Palestine problem,
involving the.
of a
bi-national state, is taking shape
within the sub-committee study-
ing the Arab proposals, it was
learned.
The plan is known to have
originated with the Colombian
chairman of the sub-group, Dr.
A. Gonzalez-Fernandez, who is
the only non-Moslem on the
body. Apparently Lebanon and
Iraq have been swung over to
advocacy of the proposal.
