LONDON, Dec. 12 (JTA) — The British government does not intend to take any part in the imposition of the U.N. decision on Palestine, either alone or in conjunction with other nations, Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin today declared in Commons during the course of the second day of the current two-day debate on the Palestine solution.

In response to a question, he specifically stated that Britain could not undertake further obligations in Palestine even if the Security Council worked out a plan for the implementation of partition. He appealed to the Jews not to attempt to bring in more visa-less immigrants during the remaining months that the British will be in control of Palestine. Such action, he asserted, would be provocative and would only further intensify unrest.

He added that Palestine, even after partition, did not hold the solution of the problem of displaced Jews in Europe. The only answer to that, he said, was for more countries to open their doors to refugee immigrants.

Neighborly agreement

PARIS, Dec. 16 (JTA) — A Jewish state must be created immediately in Palestine "lest anything unforeseen occur" at the next session of the U.N. General Assembly, scheduled for September, Nahum Goldmann, a member of the Jewish Agency executive, said here, addressing a victory meeting called by the French Zionist Federation.

Stressing that the first task of the Palestine Jews is agreement with the Arabs, Goldmann said the "world will judge us by our treatment of the Arab minority in the Jewish State." He counseled the Jews against forgetting their debt to Britain, and said that after Britain withdraws from Palestine, good relations must be established with it.

Plan gets interpreted

CAIRO, Dec. 18 (JTA) — The bellicose, but vague statement issued here last night at the conclusion of the 10-day session of the Arab League Council on Palestine was being interpreted today by informed observers as an indication that the Arab states have not rejected the principle of partition per se.

The communiqué dwelt on the inequities in the U.N. General Assembly's partition plan, and did not spell out opposition to any partition scheme as such.

Arab moderates greeted the communiqué with relief, while extremists, such as the fanatical Muslim League, were disappointed. In an apparent attempt to explain the communiqué's vagueness, Abdul Rahman Azzam Pasha, secretary-general of the Arab League, said today that the conference had arrived at 17 decisions which were not being revealed in order that the Zionists might not make capital of them.
