Hindu Leader Backs
UN's Zion Decision

NEW DELHI, India (JTA)—A
statement enthusiastically wel-
coming the UN decision to estab-
lish a Jewish state in Palestine
has been issued here by Vinayak
Damaodar Savarkar, head of the
Hindu Mahasabha, an organiza-
tion representing conservative el-
ements in the country.
Savarkar criticized the anti-
partition stand taken by the In-
dian delegates at Lake Success,
and questioned the validity of
the objections to partition voiced
by Mrs. Vijaylakshmi Pandit,
chief of the Indian delegation,
in view of the fact that India
itself had just recently been - par-
titioned for similar communal
reasons.
Commenting on the explana-
tion by Premier Pandit Nehru
that India opposed partition in
order not to alienate the Middle
East Moslem states,. SaVarkar
said the present policy would
alienate the Jews of India and
the states which had supported
partition. He added that all of
Palestine should have been made
a Jewish state.
