- NEW YORK (JTA)—Soviet Foreign Secretary Molotov thrust
the explosive Palestine issue before the United Nations General
Assembly when he charged Britain with unwillingness to relinquish
the Palestine mandate and with merely confining herself to "insig-
nificant declarations" with regard to the mandated territories.
"Someone," he said, addressing the General Assembly, "is
deliberately' hindering the establishment of the UN" Trusteeship
Council." He stressed the necessity of bettering the living condi-
tions in the mandated territories and of helping the inhabitants'
along the path to self-government and independence.
"But," he continued, "not a single step has been taken along
this path by the countries which would not let go their firm hold
on the mandates of Palestine, Tanganyika, Togo. New Guinea, etc.,
confining themselves to the writing of unsatisfactory drafts and
insignificant declarations."

Arab States Won't Bring IsSue Before UN

Arab states do not plan to bring the Palestine issue before
the General Assembly, in view of the fact the problem is still to
be discussed at the London conference called by the British gov-
ernment, it was confirmed by Syrian delegate Faris el Khoury
in an interview with the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.
In reply to a question as to whether his government will
refuse to support the proposed International Refugee Organization
if Jews are not barred from Palestine, Khoury said: "I believe

Nazis Exterminated Majority of Mid-European Workers,
Montefiore Reports; Association to Seek New Staff
Before Resuming Colonizing Activities

LONDON (JTA)—The majority of the staff of the Jewish
Colonization Association in Poland, Romania and Czechoslovakia
was exterminated by the Nazis during the war. it was reported
here by Leonard Montefiore, president of the JCA Council, at a
meeting of the Anglo-Jewish Association. He said that the organi-
zation is now making an effort to replace its agricultural training
staff before resuming colonizing activities.
At present,- Montefiore stated, the Jewish Colonization Asso-
ciation is concentrating on aiding displaced Jews. mainly orphans
who have been brought to England. A sum of $40,000 has been
voted for that work, he said.
Leonard Stein, president of the Anglo-Jewish Association.
reported on the discussions between the Colonial Office and leaders
of the Jewish Agency on Jewish participation in the LondPn con-
ference on Palestine. Stein expressed the hope that the discussions
will result in bringing the Jewish Agency into the conference
when it reconvenes Dec. 16. He stressed that the purpose of the
parley is to establish peace in Palestine and said that this commands
the unqualified sympathy of the Association.
The Council of the Anglo-Jewish Association adopted a reso-
lution welcoming the opportunity of presenting its views to the
government. "On the resumption of the conference on Palestine
it will be our duty to do whatever is in our power to contribute
to its success," the resolution stated. ,
