Agency, Haganah Block Roach to Palestine
Join in Appeal
Against Terror

(By Jewish News Correspondents)

Condemnation of terrorism
by Haganah, the Jewish
Agency and the Jerusalem
Jewish Council and demands
by U. S. and British news-
papers and important officials
for a speedy solution of the
Palestine problem, in order to
I existing tension, high-
lignted the situation this
week.
Authentic sources main-
tained that establishment of
martial law has been ruled
out as failing to offer any sort
of solution and that the Bri-
tish Colonial and Foreign Of-
fices, under pressure from the
English people and the U. S.
State Department, are con-
sidering the proposed parti-
tion plans as a way out.
While David Ben Gurion
was optimistic last week,
when he declared that he ex-
pected to see the establish-
ment of a Jewish State in his
own lifetime (he is 60), some
sources maintained the talks
he had' in -- Londonended arri-

satisfactorily.

Morgenthau Gets Chairmanship
Of United Jewish Appeal Drive

Secret. Parley
To Stop Flight
Of Jewish DPs

LONDON.—British pressure upon Europeon govern-
ments to stop the flow of eastern European refugees, es-
pecially Jews who are seeking avenues of escape to reach
Palestine, has resulted in the convening of a secret confer-
ence in Paris of officials representing the United States,
England and France.
This revelation, coming from'most authoritative sources,
provided proof Great Britain is determined to shut off all
roads over which refugees may seek passage to Palestine.
Convinced France has become a major station for Pales-
tine-bound refugees, British authorities have registered pro-
tests and tension has existed between the two governments.
Charges have been made by members of the IntergoverA -
mental Committee on Refugees that France facilitated the
escape of Polish-Jewish refugees across the German-Ameri-
can zone.
U. S. Officials Accused of Movement
U. S. officials are accused of having arranged for the
movement by rail of refugees from Czechoslovakia to Stras-
burg.
Dr. Gustave Kullraan of Switzerland, senior assistant
director of the Intergovernmental Committee on Refugees,
who is slated for an important post in the new International
Refugee Organization, is said to have played an important
role in forcing France to reconsider her lenient - attitude to-
wards refugees. Dr. Kullrnan had expressed his concern to
French officials over the flow of DPs into France and is
quoted as having said he was disturbed by French failure
to cooperate with the British in closing avenues of escape
for Jews who seek entrance into Palestine.
Similar British pressure upon Czechoslovakia to close
her doors to Jews seeking means of escape from Eastern and
Central European countries towards eventual entrance into

Palestine failed and the Czechs refused to be parties to efforts
to freeze the Jewish position in Europe.

Pressure from British Foreign Office

Sir Herbert Emerson, British director of the Intergovern-
mental Committee on Refugees, maintains close liaison with
the British Foreign Office and pressure may have come from
that source.
George Warren of the U. S. State Department was the
American representative at the Paris conference. The U. S.
position is interpreted as being that victims of persecutions
in Eastern Europe. especially those who are escaping from
Poland, should be helped, and France's sympathetic attitude
of winking at incoming DPs should be commended. The
U. S. insists discussions between the intergovernmental
representatives should be limited to the problems of war
criminals and Nazis who are filtering into France.
While the humanitarian aims are stressed by France in
her attitude towards DPs, her spokesmen make no secret of

the fact that they consider it in the economic interests of the
country to welcome additional manpower. While the British
suspect most DPs of seeking entrance to Palestine, it has
been indicated many of the new corners are able-bodied men
who remain in France.

WASHINGTON, (JTA)—President Truman. in his State of the
Union message before Congress, emphasized the U. S. has not done
enough with regard to the admission of displaced persons to this
country and called for Congressional legislation to enable the
entry of more refugees_
The President also told Congress existing
legislation does not reach "the limit of federal
power to protect the civil rights of its citizens."
He decried "racial and religious bigotry" and de-
clared that freedom to engage in lawful callings
has been denied to many citizens.
"The will to fight these crimes should be in
the hearts of every one of us," the President said.
He declared the Department of Justice is carrying
on the "fight" for the Government to the full ex-
tent of its powers.
Emphasizing only 5.000 DPs have entered the
Mr. Truman U. S. since May. 1946. Truman said he did "notfeel
the U. S. 'has done its part" in admitting refugees. • He pointed out
the executive agencies "are now doing all that is reasonably pos-
sible under the limitations of the existing law and established
quotas."
"I urge the Congress to turn its attention to this world prob-
lem," the President stated, "in an effort to find ways whereby we
can fulfill our responsibilities to these thousands of refugees of
all faiths."
