Bevin Clarifies Statement,
Denies Disapproving Plan

Ambassador's Letter to Senators Declares Foreign
Minister Favored Some Sort of Palestinian State, Was
Not Against Admission of 100,000 to Zion

WASHINGTON, (JTA)—British Foreign Minister Bevin denies
that he has disapproved the admission- of 100,000 Jews to Palestine,
and although opposed to a Jewish national state, favors a "Palestin-
ian state of some sort," Lord Inverchapel, British Ambassador
here, informed Senators Wagner and Mead of New York in a letter .
Of June 23, released by the British Information Service.
Replying on behalf of the Foreign Minister to a cable from
the two Senators protesting Bevin's recent speech to the Labor
Party conference, the Ambassador said that he had been asked by
Mr. Bevin "to stress that in his Bournemouth speech he was con-
cerned to put forward, in an atmosphere of realism,, some construc-
tive suggestions which he hopes may be of assistance" in the cur-
rent Anglo-American discussions on Palestine.
The letter ignores the criticism by Wagner and . Mead of Bevin's
statement that "the agitation in the United States, and particularly
in New • York, for 100,000 Jews to be put in Palestine- is because
they do not want too many of them in New York."
Would Strive for a Palestine State
Mr. Bevin instructed the Ambassador to point out- to the Sen-
ators that "he did not say that he would not agree, to the 'admission
of the 100,000 Jews to Palestine. He said that .if they were put
there tomorrow, he would have to send another division of British
troops there and that he was not prepared to do it. But although
he drew attention to these difficulties," Lord Inverchapel .wrote,
"he said that he would strive for a Palestinian state, from which
the voice of the Jews in Palestine could be heard in the chancel-
lories of the world.
"Mr. Bevin made clear that he was determined that the Jews
Should be given fair treatment; and that he would not agree to
their being excluded from any country; and that he championed
equal rights for them in whatever country they were settled."
Lord Inverchapel once again expressed the view of the British
government that admission of the 100,000 "would involve certain
heavy financial and other commitments which they could not carry
alone." The Ambassador expressed his "own conviction that in
Britain, which has traditionally been a friend to the Jewish people,
there is no less a sincere and widespread desire than in the United
States to find a just and lasting solution of their tragic problem."

31 Irgunists Are Convicted,
Defy Judges, Assail British

One Given Life Term, Others 15 Years for Possessing
Arms; Barbed Wire Barriers Are Removed in Tel Aviv;
British Seize Refugee Vessel

JERUSALEM.—The 31 Irgun members who were convicted by
a British Military Court for possessing arms this week accepted
'the verdict by chanting psalms and singing Hebrew songs; they
defied the judges, condemned British policies as being responsible
for the death of 6,000,000 European Jews who could have been
rescued from death had the doors been opened to Jewish im-
migrants.
One of the condemned men- received. a life sentence and the
others were given 15-year jail sentences. One of the convicted
Irgunists was a girl.
The girl prisoner shouted to the judges "We will outlive you."
The men delivered speeches, and as they were interrupted by
the judges passed the text on from one to another until they had
a chance to express their resentment of British treatment.
Upon discovery of an ammunition dump, three men and one
woman were arrested this week at Rehoboth.
Barbed wire entanglements were removed in Tel Aviv when
the Jewish policemen took over charge of patrolling the city upon
removal of the British military.

Refugee Vessel Brought into Harbor by British Destroyers
HAIFA, (JTA)—The Panamanian vessel Beauharnois, renamed
the Jewish Wedgwood for its present voyage, entered Haifa harbor
under escort of four British destroyers. Aboard were 1,300 visa-
less Jewish refugees. They were taken to the Atblif Camp pending
arrival of certificates. -
When an officer Irom one of the escorts came aboard he was
told that the passengers refused to enter the harbor unless the
authorities promised that the vessel would be allowed to leave
after it disembarked the refugees. The captain said that if the
arrivals are to be deducted from the regular immigration quota,
they are legal immigrants and the ship is not liable to confisca-
tion. He refused to resume under his own power, and the ship
drifted until 1:30 p. m.
