Rumor U. S. and Great Britain
Agree on Policy for Palestine
Predict Arabs to Have Veto Powers; Shertok
Says Political Liquidation Will be Resisted
Warn of Arab-Jewish
Clashes After the War
IN ENS INIUM
WASHINGTON (JPS)—The United States and Great
Britain have agreed upon an interim policy for the Jewish
National Home in Palestine, with the Arabs being given a
virtual veto over that future, it was runored in authorita-
tive circles here. The information on this imminent an-
nouncement of policy had been available for some time in
Washington but was touched off by a cable to the.New York
Times from Cyrus L. Sulzberger in Cairo, who declared in
an interview with Moshe Shertok, chief of the political de-
partment of the Jewish Agency in Palestine, that "Britain
and America after due consultation with 'their Allies are
on the verge of publishing a concrete statement concerning
their proposed policy regarding the Middle East and Pales-
tine."
Expected to be announced in Washington by the State
Department and in London by the Foreign Office, the Anglo-
Amel-ican policy, it is rumored, would consist of two major
points:
,
The Two-Point Program
1; It would propose that the Ara:Es and Jews immediate-
ly get together to resolve their differences and dedide upon
a mutually agreeable policy for Palestine and the Middle
East. The last time such a conference was held was at the
Saint James Palace in London in 193« and its abortive re-
sults were followed by the. Chamberlain White Paper Of
May, 1939.
2. The statement of policy would call upon American
Zionists to desist from any discussion of the future of Pales-
tine policy while the war is still . in progress, the implication
being that the discussion of Palestine's future would' bP
considered militarily objectionable.

May Influence Conference Agenda
Note was taken of the fact here that Arthur Hays Sulz-
berger, publisher of the New York Times and uncle of Cyrus
L. Sulzberger, Cairo correspondent of the Times, has recent-
ly assumed a vigorous interest in promoting his anti-Zionist
American Council for Judaism. Recently abroad on a Red
Cross mission, he Met with British officials while in Cairo.
In some circles it was intimated that the suggestion was
made to the State Department to announce its contemplated
policy as quickly as possible in order to remove the question
of Palestine from the agenda of the American Jewish Con-
ference, to be held in New York beginning Aug. 29.
Jews Will Resist Political Liquidation
NEW YORK (JPS-Palcor)—"It would be wrong to
consider the Jews incapable of deeds of despair" if "a cruelly
unjust policy' is enforced against the Jewish National Home
in Palestine, it was declared by Moshe Shertok, political
chief of the Jewish Agency for Palestine, in an interview
given at Cairo to Cyrus L. Sulzberger, correspondent of the
New York Times.
Mr. Shertok also told Mr. Sulzberger that now that the
Nar was moving toward a .conclusion, problems of the post-
