In a statement issued follow- ing his landing from the "Queen Mary," Dr. Weizi-nann warned that "unless due preparations are made • for Jewish defense, the Jewish population of :Palestine will be . exposed to grave danger when the Mandate is terminated." He appealed t Britain to fulfill its promise of "loyal acceptance" of the U.

Belief in Just Result "The purpose of my visit," he said, "is to do whatever lies in my power to help clarify the problems which the United Na- tions faces in carrying out the resolutions adopted at the Gen- eral Assembly on the future of Palestine. I gin well aware that the implementation of this pro- ject raises many difficulties, but these difficulties are as nothing ,compared-with the dangers which arise if the United Nations policy were to be altered by force: If that were to happen, which I -do not believe, one result would be the discredit and decline of the United Nations and ,a grave blow to the very idea of international authority. Another result. would be the prolongation of conflict, in PaleStine. "I am confident," Dr. Weizmann continued, "that the United Na- tions, and especially those states which sponsored . the United Na- tions resolution, cannot allow /these consequences to come about.
