Friday, May Ti, THE JEWISH NEWS Page Five UNCIO Acts on Bill of Rights; Zion Status Same By PHILIP SLOMOVITZ SAN FRANCISCO—When the Right Hon. Viscount Cranborne, P. C., British Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs, presented the views of his government on the question of territorial trusteeships, at one of the tensest press conferences held here during the United Nations Conference on International Organization, last Friday, it be- came apparent that all the noise and the shouting by Jewish groups represents, at the moment, wasted breath. Three lines in Clause 4 of the United Kingdom Draft of the Chapter for Inclusion in the United Nations Charter on Territorial Trusteeship provided the answer we had been clamoring for on the question of Palestine's status. These lines read: "No revision of existing League of Nations Mandates exercised by States Members of the United Nations shall be made without the agreement of the Mandatory Power concerned." Status Quo to Be Retained In this assertion, and in the statements made by Lord Cranborne in answer to questions put to him, it was apparent that the status quo will be retained in Palestine. It became apparent on Saturday morning, after the press con- ference presided over by Secretary of State Stettinius and attended by Senator Vandenberg_ and Commander Stassen, that Palestine's status will not only not be discussed but that it will not be changed in the very near future; and that only the machinery will be set up for trusteeship plans. Shertok Hopes for Brigade Role in Reich Occupation Jewish Agency Views Chances of Palestine Army's Selection For Tr o ops Which Will Occupy Germany; Ex-Mufti Is Reported Hiding in Yugoslavia In his statement, Mr. Stettinius, as chairman of the American delegation, said: "The organization would establish a system of international trusteeship applying to three classes of territories which may be placed under the system by means of trusteeship arrangements-Hter- ritories now under mandate; territories which may be detached.from enemy states as a result of this war; and territories voluntarily placed under the system by the administering states. Holds Great Promise "The system - here proposed holds great promise for the develop- ment and progress of the peoples of dependent areas. It must be emphasized, however, that we are here dealing only with the ma- chinery for trusteeship. No consideration will be given at this con- ference to specific territories which are to be placed under the sys- tem. That will be left for future arrangements." Both the British and American statements show definitely that action on Palestine has been deferred. Important points in the U. S. proposals for international trustee-. ship arrangements are: "The basic objectives of the trusteeship system should be: (a) to further international peace and security; (b) to promote the political, economic, and social advancement of the trust territories and their in- habitants and their progressive development toward self-government; (Continued on Page ) YE-Day Spurs Dr. Filderman Accused of Aiding Rescue Efforts (Continued from Page 1) AntonescuRegime international law as well as prin- Bucharest Paper Reports Charges Against Leader of Romanian Jewry JERUSALEM, (JTA)—The Jewish Agency hopes that the Jewish Brigade will .be among the troops which will LONDON (JTA)—Dr. William occupy Germany, Moshe Shertok, chief of the political de- Filderman, president of the partment of the Jewish Agency, told a press conference.

He added that "such a program is incompatible with membership of fascist countries in organiza- tion of international security. But then this is quite natural for fascist countries are. known to be, not only centers of sinister reaction but of war as well and they cannot serve the cause of peace and security of nations."
