LONDON (JTA)—The British
government does not intend to
take any part in the imposi-
tion of the UN decisiop on Pal-
estine, either alone or in con-
junction with other nations,
Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin
declared in Commons during
the course of a debate on the
Palestine situation.
In response to a question, he
specifically stated that Britain
could not undertake further ob-
ligations in Palestine' even if the
Security Council worked out a
plan for the implementation of
partition.
He appealed to the Jews not
to attempt to bring in more
visaless immigrants during the
remaining months that the Brit-
ish will control Palestine. Such
action, he asserted, would be
provocative and would only
further intensify unrest. He
added that Palestine even after
partition did not hold the solu-
tion of the problem of dis-
placed Jews in Europe. The
only answer to that, he said,
was for more countries to open
their doors to refugee immi-
grants.
The Foreign Secretary insist-
ed that if it were possible, the
British government would have
terminated the Mandate before
May 15 and withdrawn its
troops and administration be-
fore Aug. 1. "If negotiations
with the United 'Nations move
more rapidly than we now think,
and an earlier date can be
fixed, that will be done," he
pledged.
