Page Six THE JEWISH NEWS . U. S. Loan Urged to Secure Arab Support of Program Influential London Financial Vitaekly Asks America fo As- sume Some Responsibility in Carrying Out Commit- tee's Plan to Transfer 100,000 Refugees to Zion LONDON, (JTA)—A substantial loan by the U. S., or other nations, to the Palestine administration would go a long way towards securing Arab support for the recommendations of the Anglo-American committee, it was stated here by the Economist, influential financial weekly. It urged the U. S. to assume some responsibility for Palestine. It is reported here by Reuters that if direct discussions on Palestine develop_ in Paris between Secretary of State Byrnes and Foreign Minister Sevin, as a result of the British note handed to Byrnes, Bevin will ask for large-scale financial aid to cover the cost of the proposed Jewish immigration and cultural and economic development of Palestine; U. S. military reinforceinents to double the present Palestine garrison; and talks on the possibility of a joint Anglo-American trusteeship for the country. The War Office announced that Sir Evelyn Barkem was en route to Palestine from Britain to assume command of British forces there. From Jerusalem it was reported that Adm. Sir Algernon U. Willis, new commander in chief in the Mediterranean, had ar- rived there from Alexandria to confer with High Commissioner Sir Alan Cunningham. Council of Jewish Women to Continue to Press for Free Entry NEW' YORK—Commenting on the report of the Anglo-American Inquiry Committee on Palestine, Mrs. Joseph M. Welt of Detroit, president of the National Council of Jewish Women, stated: The National Council of Jewish Women welcomes the rec- ommendation to permit immediate entry of 100,000 Jews into Pales- tine as an important contribution toward the alleviation of the piti- ful plight of the homeless and dispossessed Jews of Europe. "At our last triennial convention, Council recorded itself 'in favor of the unrestricted immigration of Jews into Palestine.' Our goal has not yet been achieved, and we will continue our efforts toward its realization." The American press, with minor exceptions, welcomed the report of the Anglo-American committee on Palestine, particularly the recommendation for the admission of 100,000 European Jews. Most newspapers agree with the committee that the establishment of a Jewish state would not be a just solution of the problem. The entire Yiddish press in the U. S., however, takes issue with Prime Minister Attlee's stipulation that 100,000 displaced Jews will be admitted to Palestine if the "illegal armies" there disband and surrender their arms. Arab leaders in the U. S. indicated that they are considering having the Palestine issue raised before the United Nations on the basis that the present situation in Palestine is a threat to the peace of the Middle East. American Council for Judaism Finds Recommendations Gratifying PHILADELPHIA (JTA)—The American Council for Judaism hailed the recommendations of the Anglo-American Commission of Inquiry for the settlement of 100,000 displaced European Jews in Palestine on terms which, it said, separate the humanitarian prob- lem from the political problem of the future of Palestine. The Council expressed special gratification that the report adopted the view-point of the Council that Palestine shall be neither a Jewish state nor an Arab state. Crossman Says Recommendation Was Not Result of U. S. Pressure BERNE (JTA)—The Anglo-American inquiry committee's rec- ommendation that 100,000 Jews be admitted to Palestine immediately was not a British concession to the American members of the com- mittee, Richard Crossman, a British member, said here. Crossman denied that the six Britons on the committee had received any directives froni Foreign Minister Bevin and said that the recom- mendations resulted from mutual concessions by both groups. Liberated Jews Warn of Further Tragedy MUNICH, (JTA)—Wires were sent to Secretary of State Byrnes and Foreign Minister Bevin by the Central Committee of Liberated Jews of Germany warning that any delay in the acceptance and implementation of the Anglo-American inquiry committee's report will lead to further tragedy for the displaced Jews. 4 Generations of Family to Attend Shaarey Zedek Sisterhood Festival UHS Branches Plan Graduation 2 .
