Arab and Jewish Masses Push - Peace Efforts
THE
(By Jewish World News Service)
TRUCE in Palestine persists although many
forces are working against it and many would
like to see it upset.
The Israeli government has listed with the United
Nations as many as 60 cases of infringements of the
truce slime its beginning. The Arabs, too, have coun-
tered with complaints of 15 violations by the Israeli
army.
The truth is that on both sides, there are people
who are displeased with the truce. The followers of
the ex-Mufti are in open revolt against the agree-
ment. The Irgun and its followers have declared that
they would not recognize the internationalization of
Jerusalem.

BETWEEN THESE two extreme groups there are
many people, Arabs and Jews, who, although they
- -
would not openly break the truce, secretly would
like to see it fail.
It is curious that the Jewish side, even in this
country, has many people of the same frame of
mind. There is a feeling abroad among many Zion-
ists that the military position of the flaganah just
before the truce was so favorable that the Jews
should not have accepted the truce, but should have
grabbed as much territory for the new Israeli State
as possible.
And even now, after the acceptance of the truce,
these elements are hankering for a change, or for a
break. The mediator is attacked as a British agent,
the American government is mistrusted, suspicion is
sown, confidence is undermined. The spirit of the
truce is still lacking in the hearts even of good men,
although it prevails generally on the battlefields.
•

•
YET, with all of that the truce will not be
broken and peace may be around the corner. For
events of the last few weeks and months have shown
that the people, both Arab and Jewish, are at heart
for peace and against war.
Politicians and extremists on both sides still cling
to their old faith in force, but the people in the
silence of their hearts know a greater truth. And that
is that force has never solved any problem and that
any negotiated peace is better than war.
Fortunately, the leaders of Israel and responsible
Zionist leaders in this country share this feeling.
The action of the Israeli government in these crucial
days has been in strict conformity with the decision
of the UN and is in spirit and in letter opposed to
extremism and even militancy on the Arabside.
King Abdullah, too, has shown signs of modera-
tion, with the result that the extremist leadership of
the Arab League has been changed from the Egyp-
tian pro-Mufti-ite, Fawzi Pasha to a more moderate

paign of the Union of American
UN MEDIATOR Bernadotte is government with a view to ing.
said to be considering sum-
moning Arab Palestine leaders
with a view to sounding them
out on the formation of an Arab
provisional government. If his
plan is rejected he intends ask-
ing for a plebiscite to determine
whether the people in the Arab-
designated area of Palestine pre-
fer independence to domination
by the neighboring states.
Once he establishes this prece-
dent, he will suggest a plebiscite
in the Israeli area. It is in an-
ticipation of this eventuality that
the Arabs have suddenly be-
come vociferous about their refu-
gees from Israel, demanding their
return from exile.
The Arabs will readily agree
to a plebiscite since the certain
rejection of the proposal by Is-
rael would enable them to raise
the false claim that the Jews in
Israel are opposed to a plebi-
scite for fear of being outvoted
by the Arabs and the bi-nation-
alists.

NEW CAIRO PLOT
A NEW PLOT is being hatch-
ed in Cairo—the formation of a
Palestine government-in-exile by
the ex-Mufti in one of the Arab
states. With the possible excep-
tion of Transjordan, the Arab
states plan recognizing the Muf-
ti as head of the exile govern-
ment.
They will permit him to raise
an army from among alleged
Arab refugees from Israel and
give him financial support. If his
forces attack Israel the Arab
states will disavow responsibili
ty, claiming the UN truce is in-
operative as regards the new
- Arab state.
