Commander Stassen's Proposal Protecting Present Jewish
Community Rights Approved at 'Frisco; Vandenberg
Renews Hopes for Realization of Homeland
(Special to The Jewish News)
SAN FRANCISCO—The trusteeship commission of the
United Nations Conference finally has adopted the proposal
made by Commander Harold E. Stassen known as Para-
graph 5. -
As adopted, this proposal, which originaly was opposed
by Soviet Russia and the Arabs, protects the existing rights
of the Jewish community. It
known as the "Palestine plank."
The proposal now provides
that except as might be agreed
upon in individual trusteeship
arrangements, and until such
agreements had been concluded,
nothing in the chapter should
be construed to alter in any man-
ner "the rights whatsoever of
any States or any peoples or the
terms of existing international
.instruments to which member
States may respectively be par-
ties." •
Reject Iraq Proposal
The trusteeship commission re-
jected a proposal by Iraq which
would have restricted the peo-
ples mentioned in this paragraph
to the peoples inhabiting trust
territories.

have sent it on to Senator Wag-
ner as requested. I have made
it clear in this connection that
I endorse the language of the
proposed letter with the under-
standing that the phrase `JeWish
COMMONWEALTH' is used in
the sense contemplated by all of
our previous national commit-
ments—namely, a state in which
all citizens, regardless of reli-
gion or race, have equality of
legal rights.
Needless Opposition
"Since that is our purpose I
think it is very important that
this point should never be ignor-
thus invite needless
ed lest
opposition to our cause. I want
also to make it plain that the
phrase 'earliest possible time'
unavoidably includes legitimate
considerations of peace • and se-
curity for which the President
of the United States cannot es-
cape primary responsibility.
"I greatly hope that we may
all succeed in finding an early
practical answer to this problem
which is so closely related to the
fundamental humanities and to
our hopes and prayers."
