Demand That Bevin Resign As Britain's Foreign Secretary
LONDON, Jan. 17 (Recd. 8-30pm).— Critics within the British Labour Party itself are starting to demand that Mr. Bevin should resign as Foreign Secretary over th e Palestine issue. The political correspondent of the “Daily Express” said: "Although ther e is no split in Cabinet it is believed some Ministers are not at all enthusiastic about Mr. Bevin's Palestine policy.’’. The political correspondent of the “Daily Telegraph” said: "There is a well-founded belief that the Chancellor, Sir Stafford Cripps, has insisted on an all-out effort to concert the British policy with that of the United States to restore peac e to the Middle East.” The correspondent added: “Mr. Bevin's most probable line of defence appears to be that the Israeli Government is allowing itself to be used as an agent of Soviet policy. He will be required to substantiate this and also show that his own policy isn’t playing into the hands of those elements in Israel most sympathetic to Russia.”
