DIFFERING VIEWS ON BRITISH WITHDRAWAL FROM PALESTINE
NO SETTLEMENT UNLESS JEWISH STATE SET UP (N.Z.PJl.—Beuter—Copyright.) Jerusalem, Sept. 28. Commenting on Britain's decision to withdraw from Palestine, Mr. Bengurion, chairman of the Jewish Agency, claimed that the British had been largely responsible for the difficulties in achieving an understanding between Arabs and Jews. He said it was now clearer than •ver that there could be no settlement. nor could Palestine become really independent unless a Jewish State was established. Jews would make every effort to achieve co-oper-ation with Arabs. Jews must both be able and willing to implement settlement of the problem on the basis of Jewish statehood. The British troops are frankly delighted at the news. Dr. Khalidi, secretary of the Arab High Organisation, told the Press that six Arab States which were members of the United Nations would be willing to take over in Palestine if the British evacuated “until representative democratic government has been established.’’ The six States to which Dr. Khalidi referred are Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Irak, Saudi Arabia, and Yemen. The Jewish Agency has renewed Its appeal for Iree immigration to Palestine, and has asked Britain to make it clear to the world whether she intended to maintain migratio. bars in any interim period before sh: withdraws from Palestine.
