Big PowersAct to Protect
Jewish Rights in Palestine
-
SAN FRANCISCO, (JTA)—The big powers were reported here Tuesday to have
reached an agreement on the text of the arrangements for trusteeship of mandated
territories which is interpreted to mean that no changes will be made in the pro -
visions of the Palestine mandate without consulting the Jews and Arabs.
The clause in this text which is of particular interest with regard to Palestine,
reads: "Nothing in this chapter should be construed in and of itself to alter in any
manner the right of any state or any people in any territory, or the terms of any
mandate." Originally the clause lacked the words "any people." This change
guarantees that the rights given to Jews under the Palestine mandate will not be
,abolished under the trusteeship system.
In a letter addressed to Alger Hiss, Secretary General of the United Nations
Conference, Dr. Nahum Goldmann charged in behalf of the Jewish Agency that
the Arab delegations here filed an "incomplete and misleading document" with
the UNCIO. The charge was based on the fact that the Afab delegations filed the -
pact of the League of Arab States but omitted filing the annex to this document. In
this annex the League seeks to classify Palestine as an Arab State and provides
for the designation of an Arab representative from Palestine to participate in the
League's work.
This, ommission, Dr. Goldmann pointed out, is serious and tends to give a false
impression' of the character and the contents of the pact. "To our knowledge, in-
deed, the filing of such an incomplete and misleading document at an interna-
tional assembly is unprecedented and is in violation of all normal international
procedures," the protest said, emphasizing that the annex is in clear conflict with
the international status of Palestine and with the international obligations contain-
ed in the Palestine mandate. -
