JERUSALEM, (JTA)—Members of the Executive of the Jewish Agency met to consider the sudden adjournment of the London conference on Palestine. A spokesman said that the postponement came as a complete surprise to the Agency. The spokesman expressed the opinion that "we are as far from a solution as ever," and warned that the new delay will ; tend to increase tension and endanger peace and security. "It is extremely difficut to see how this postponement, this inability to come to grips with the problem, can be welcomed by or be beneficial to anyone." (A report from, Switzerland two weeks ago stated that the Swiss government had refused permission to the World Zionist Organization to hold the Congress there out of fear that it would cause a spread in anti-Semitism.) (A Palcor News Agency report states that the 22nd World Zionist Congress will open in Basle on Dec. 3 and that all election results will have to be transmitted to the office set up there before Oct. 28.

(JPS)—Over 200.000 European Jewish DPs "tired of being pushed around. insist on going to their own land and starting life on their own terms," Rabbi Philip S. Bernstein, American adviser on Jewish Affairs in Germany, declared in a statement issued by the War Department on the rabbi's return on holiday leave. "They are prepared for some compromise. - Rabbi Bernstein said speaking of Europe's Jews, "along the line of parti- tion in a viable area of Palestine. But all of them insist on Jewish control of Jewish destiny: namely a Jewish state, even, if necessary, in a reduced area of Palestine." Rabbi Bernstein concluded "that there has been no fundamental change in the attitude of exclusiveness and futility which dominated the Evian and Bermuda conferences. and which are ultimately re- sponsible for the needless loss of innumerable Jewish lives. "A bold. determined statesmanship concerning Palestine is needed now. In the long run it will be less expensive in money, irritation and life for the United States government now to ilssurne the necessary responsibilities and risks in order to achieve a just settlement in Palestine than to temporize." Rabbi Bernstein praised Gen. Joseph T. McNarney's policies of handling DPs. and Most Exclusive ;tore for BOYS & GIRLS We specialize in the clothing needs -of your tots and teens.

Secretary George Hall on Oct. 1, were taken by surprise by the announcement of the postponement. In addition to Eliezer Kaplan, who left Oct. 1 for Paris to report to David ben Gurion, chairman of the Jewish Agency Executive, on the talks which took place earlier be- tween the two members of the British Cabinet and the leaders of the Jewish Agency with regard to Jewish participatfon in the conference, three other Agency leaders joined him Paris for consultations. The three—Rabbi J. L. Fishman, Berl Locker and Dr. Nahum Goldmann—were under the im- pression it might be possible for them to continue informal talks with Bevin in Paris. The adjournment of the conference will make it impos- sible to raise the Palestine issue at Lthe General Assembly. Both the British government and the Arab League have been anxious to avoid bringing the issue before the UN. Only the Palestine Arabs have been pressing for submission of the case to the Assembly. Jewish circles in London did not hide their disappoint- ment over the adjournment. Spokesmen stressed the vital need for some decision on Palestine,i n view of the mounting tide of extremism. They also emphasized it is high time that the question of admitting 100,000 displaced Jews to Palestine was settled. WOOL TWEED cf it% The Agency, he stressed, is as anxious as ever to find a solution with the British government's cooperation, but looks forward to the next few months with despondency and alarm.
