Britain Will Not Surrender Palestine, Smuts Intimates NEW YORK (JTA)—dritain has no intention of surrendering her mandate for Palestine to United Nations trusteeship, it was intimated by Prime Minis- ter Jan Christian Smuts of South' Africa. Discussing the trusteeship system at the meeting of the Trusteeship Committee, Smuts pointed out that the U. N. Char- ter makes it a voluntary, rather than an obligatory, matter, for nations to submit their mandates to trusteeship. "This, no doubt, accounts for the fact," he said, "that Palestine has "so far been excluded from the trusteeship system."
