Problems of Palestine II
Since the British published the
White Paper in 1939, announcing
the Lmit of 7ft. 000 additional
Jewish immigration into Pales
tine, protests have piled up from
worldwide Jewry and from
Americans. This protest was
strengthened by the persecutions
which Jews in Europe suffered
under nai 'tyranny and which
have not ended with its collapse

but Foreign Minister Bevin re
fused to adopt it unless the-Uni-tcd
States agreed to send in
troops to help jolice the country.

was announced for the partition
of Palestine, giving the Jews
about 15 per cent of the land, the
Arabs 40 per cent and the Bri
tish control of the government
and of the desert wastes toward
the Suez canal. President Truman
has not approved of this plan and
both Arabs and Jews have re

clothing was a follow-up on last
week's announcement that prices
for cotton garments made from

For Leniency

appealed to the 21-nation peace
conference today fr the return
of western Thrace from Greece,
and drew a stinging reply from
the Greeks branding her as a
criminal nation for whom the pro

lenient.
The Ukrainian Soviet Republic
supported Bulgaria's claim to the
territory ceded to Greece after
World War I. Poland's delegate
declared Bulgaria deserves an "in
dulgent peace."
Both Hungary and Bulgaria
presented their rases, the third

each protested it had not aided
the nazi war machine to the ex
tent the Germans had demanded.
Jancm Gyonggyosi, Hungarian

would strike a balance between
Hungary's current economic bur
dens and her capacity to pay.
