RUSSIAN BOYCOTT THREAT
BIG POWER TALKS ON PALESTINE NEW YORK, Mar. 11. Russia said to-day she would boycott the emergency Big Power talks on Palestine if Arabs or Jews were called in for consultations. Mr Gromyko made this statement when the United States, Russia, France and China resumed the emergency talks. Mr Gromyko said he already knew the opinions of the Arabs and Jews, and he also pointed out that the Big Four were not asked by the Security Council to reopen consultations. Mr Warren Austin (United States) said he realised this, but it might be possible to get further information from both parties to complete the reDort which the Big Four must make to the Security Council. Mr Gromyko said the United States delegation was free to obtain this information and to report to the Big Four, but as a group they had no authority to enter into consultations and he could not take responsibility for reopening discussions. No final decision was taken on the rme'-t.ion, and Sir Alexander Cadogan (Britain) was called in to answer further questions on the mandate.
