THE JEWISH NEWS

The Partition Fraud

Editorial in N. Y. Post, July 27, 1946

The British partition plan for Palestine, reported by the New
York Times to have the backing of President Truman's cabinet com-
mittee. is one thing.
But British insistence that the entry of the 100,000 Jews into
Palestine be contingent upon acceptance of the partition plan is
quite another. Shabby as the plan is, it becomes infinitely more sin-
ister and tricky - when it is baited with a, humanitarian proposal for
which the civilized world has been pleading almost a year.
It is plain now that so far as His Majesty's Government is con-
cerned. the destitute survivors of 5 million Jews who died at Hitler's
hands are pawns in her imperialist game. Give us what we want in
Palestine, say the British, and we will give the 100,000 a chance to
live. Else, the presumption is that they can rot in the DP camps.
Almost as shocking as the scheme itself is the apparent ac-
quiescence in it by the American advisory group President Truman
sent to London. For under the provisions of the plan, in return for
agreeing to let 100,000 Jews into Palestine, Britain would be allowed
to scrap the whole mandate arrangement and turn Palestine into a
colony with even fewer rights than India has today.

1,467 PER SQUARE MILE

The Jews who came in would find that they had simply traded
one concentration camp for another. The 600,000 now living there and
the 100.000 entrants would be restricted to a ghetto to 1.500 square
miles, much of it untillable.
The rest of Palestine's 10.000 square miles would go largely to the
Arabs, whose reactionary leaders have always been relatively amenable
to Britain's imperialist schemes.
It is a superb plan from London's viewpoint. For even within
their ghetto. the Jews, according to the New York Times report. would
"have considerably less autonomy than was enjoyed by Britain's
American colonies in the 18th century."
His Majesty's Government would control foreign relations, de-
fense, police, prisons, the courts. all communication systems, customs,
excise taxes, broadcasting and even immigration.
While the provinces would have their own assemblies, Britain
would have the veto power over all the legislation they passed. In
fact, whenever London willed it. her High Commissioner could simply
set aside the local gove•nments and rule as he pleased.
Gone would be the promised "homeland" and Britain's pledge
under the mandate to develop "self-governing institutions." In their
place would arise the tightly-controlled military base that Britain
sorely needs, now that she is 'being booted out of Egypt.

PROMISES GO BY THE BOARD

Agreement to such a scheme is inconceivable. It violates the
Anglo-American Convention of 1924, based on the League of Nations
Mandate (as well as the mandate itself) and flouts the unanimous
recommendations of the Anglo-American Commission which Bevin
had promised to accept.
Furthermore it solves the problems of neither Jews nor Arabs.
As the Inquiry Commission pointed out, Palestine's troubles will only
cease when Jews and Arabs live together peaceably. This can be
accomplished by raising the standard of living and literacy—removing
the sources of the native discontent and unrest which, misdirected
by Arab reactionaries, makes for strife.
The necessary large-scale development of Palestine would be-
come impossible, however, if that land were segmented. The old
antagonisms would not be eradicated, as some may think. They
would, in fact, be further institutionalized, behind lines drawn across
a map. and the way would be opened for border raids and warfare.
Partition of Palestine would turn out to be as unjust, as unworkable,
as great an incitement to trouble as is the partition of Ireland.
The plan must be rejected. And its use of The lives of 100,000
Jews as bait must be denounced as a despicable maneuver.
