Decision 1 Made With Reluctance In Palestine Talks

London reporters say a political committee adjourned after hearing a list of charges raised in the Security Council and will resume hearings with two more speakers. Rabbi Silver presented a 5500 word statement defining the type of Jewish state sought if partition becomes the path to a solution. David Ben-Gurion urged UN to establish a temporary Jewish government under international supervision. A Zionist underground group warned this would govern all Palestine, not a ghetto. Silver discussed partition based on a summer commission report favoring separate Jewish and Arab states in economic union. The Galilee is to be included in the Jewish state, and Western Germany’s line was rejected as a handicap. The UN proposal envisions a separate government unit. Silver said Jews would accept trusteeship for Jerusalem’s old city but insist on immigration and economic instruments in the new city. The Jewish Agency emphasized need for control of finance to drive large-scale immigration and development.
