To UNSCOP Majority Plan Heavily Mined,

LAKE SUCCESS, (JTA)—British Colonial Secretary
Arthur Creech-Jones, in his second appearance before the UN
Ad Hoc Committee on Palestine, declared that Britain "would
consider an invitation to participate in giving effect to a
settlement of the Palestine problem in partnership with other
members of the United Nations," but will not accept sole or
chief responsibility for enforcement of any decision made by
the General Assembly. '

Ben Gurion Says

JERUSALEM (JTA)—"The
road toward a Jewish state is
still strewn with mines," David
Ben Gurion told a meeting of the
editors of the Heb-rew press in
Tel Aviv.
The Jewish Agency chairman
declared that "we still have to
fight for the borders of the fu-
ture state in the United Nations
I and stand guard over them
here."
Ben Gurion insisted that the
Jews • must depend upon their
own resources to guard their
state. He pointed to the fact that
the government's attitude toward
evacuation and the projected
Jewish state was still unsettled.
He reported that it was plan-
ned to continue the employment
of all persons, Jews and Arabs
alike, in government posts if they
choose to remain. Finally, he de-
clared that the Jews favored the
UNSCOP proposal of economic
unity between the two states.
