Chiang Draws Russia Parallel With Czars In New Year Message
In Taipei Formosa on December 31 Generalissimo Chiang Kai shek denounced Soviet Russia as committing the greatest crime in human history.

He contrasted Moscow's aggression with Czars’ autocracy and noted Russia's modern weapons and tactics. Premier Yen Hsi-shan admitted Nationalist errors and warned of ruthless Communist sacrifice in defense against world aggression.

Israel rejects UN Jerusalem move request in 1947 decision
LAKE SUCCESS New York December 31 1947 Israel told the United Nations trusteeship council it will disregard a request to move its governmental offices out of Jerusalem. In a letter to Roger Garreau Israel said it had full authority to place offices in Jerusalem despite the UN General Assembly decision to internationalize the city. The note signed by Abba Eban said the council’s resolution expressing concern was supported by a minority. The Arab side led by Abdullah claimed Jordan occupied Jerusalem. Premier Ben-Gurion had already moved offices to Jerusalem on December 15.
