Non-Jews' Rights Assured
In Jewish Commonwealth 11
Political Secretary. of Agency Explains All Residents of
Palestine to Be Subject to Identical Laws; Religious,
Political and Economic Status Guaranteed
The position -of non-Jews under the proposed Jewish State or
commonwealth plan was explained for the first time this week in a
letter written to the Palestine Post by Dr. Leo Kohn, political secre-
tary of the Jewish Agency for Palestine. -
Replying to an inquiry from a non-Jewish resident of Trans-
Jordania as to what guarantees would be available under the .con-
stitution of the Jewish State for non-Jewish citizens, Dr. Kohn
declared that the Jewish Commonwealth was not conceived as an
exclusively Jewish policy since a considerable part of its population
would not be Jewish. He declared:
• "The Commonwealth is to be designated as Jewish because it is
intended to be the national home of the Jewish people, and, with
that end in view, be open to any who desire to settle in Palestine.
That function, indeed, will be its principal 'raison d'etre.' "
All Residents Subject to Identical Laws
Dr. Kohn proceeded to explain that all residents of Palestine
would be subject to identical laws, administered by a democratically
selected government, and that there would be full guarantee of
religious, political and economic rights of all and guarantees for the
protection of property and lands of non-Jews on an equal basis with
Jews.
"Moslem holy places would be administered by Moslems, Chris-
tian holy places by Christians," Dr. Kohn wrote.

PALESTINE
A proposal that "authoritative Jewish in-
' stitutions" demand from the United Nations
guardianship over _the tens of thousands of
Jewish orphans remaining in Europe, was
considered at a session of the Vaad Leumi,
Jewish Palestine's National Council. A special
committee` has been appointed to draft a
formal demand.
The Soviet authorities have in no way ob-
structed Jewish emigration into Palestine
from "independent states where Red Army
military operations are proceeding at present,"
it was declared by Moshe Shertok, chief of
the Political Department of the Jewish Agency.
He mentioned, specifically, Romania and Bul--
garia at cases in point.
Jewish children retrieved from monasteries
in France and in Spain, where they fled
across, the Pyrenees from Occupied Europe,
were among the 80 orphans that arrived in
Palestine with the over 1,000 refugees that
recently came into the country.
