Warren R. Austin's
Views on Palestine
BY BEATRICE MIKAN'
1947. Jewish Tele-
(copyright
graphic Agency. Inc.)
WASHINGTON.—Not in a long
time has the Palestine issue re-
ceived such full-dress treatment
as the forthcoming special session
of the United Nations is preparing
to give it. .
Warren R. Austin, American
representative on the Security
Council of the UN, will represent
the United States. He will be as-
sisted by Herschel V. Johnson,
who is Austin's alternate on the
Security CounciL Austin is a
former Senator from Vermont,
and made a trip to Palestine in
1936 as a member of an unofficial
three-man senatorial group sur-
veying conditions there. He co-
authored a seventy-odd page re-
port titled "Crisis in Palestine."
Some of his conclusions, as set
down in 1936, make interesting
reading in 1947.
"Diplomatically, Great Britain
cannot afford to back the wrong
horse," he wrote. "On the issue
now raised of performance or
non-performance of the Mandate,
the contenders are not limited to
the Jews of the world against the
Arabs of the world. They include
the treaty nations, of which the
United States is one.
"Therefore," continued Austin,
t is rational to expect that after
peace and order are restored in
Palestine (ed.: Austin refers to
Arab anti-Jewish riots), the un-
founded ambitions of certain Jew-
ish and Arab elements that the
felarillatory could or would hand
to either of them political con-
trol over the other, will probably
be definitely nullified." What
Austin foresaw was fostering of
"a government in which all citi-
zens are Palestinians and in
which Jewish and Arab parity of
power is guaranteed."
. The UN consideration ,of the
question will bring Austin to-
gether again with Moshe Shertok,
head of the political department
of the Jewish Agency, who now
divides his time between Wash-
ington and Jerusalem. Austin
wrote in his 1936 report that "in
1 the course of our conference
with the leaders of the Jewish
t 'Agency in Jerusalem, Mr. Sher-
' Sok presentad to us an effective
, answer to th(DArab claims."
