Memorial Makes Real Headway
SAYS BRITAIN, U. S. HAVEN'T ACTED ON HORTHY OFFER
!VKW VORK (JPS)—Neither Britain nor the U. S. have acted as yet on Regent f-lorthy's offer to release Jews with visaH for Palestine, according to N. Y. i-'ost coliimnists Charle..j Van Devander and William '0. Play er. .II.. reporting from Wn.sli- ingtou. ¦Naively as.suming that surely such an offer woitld he jn'omptiy seized uiion, we ciiil- efl up the Pritish Embassy here yest.erday". tbe writer says, "and asked Iiow many such visas had been gi'tuited in re sp<rnse. .Mucli to our siu'prise -anti disapiJ<)imment — the answer Is .NONE".
The columnists state  further:
"It's true, the spokesman said, that the International Red Cross is reixirted to have re¬ ceived such an offer from thi iUmgarian government. Put thus far. he added, there has been no official ctmfirmation by the Rc<l Cross of this report.
¦Despite the lack of confirma¬ tion, though, the British nnd V. S. governments are now in consultation cojicerning tlie re¬ ported offer—an<I, of com'se, woukl like to arceiit it, IK it is genuine.
"Certain information in the posse.sskm of the British here, he indicated rather myslerious- 1\' casts some doubt on whether tlu offer reail,y is genuine — and consequently, we were led tu believe, the fli^itish aren't go¬ ing to 1)0 tricked inlo any such premalnre aclion as lo stai't immediately issuing Palestinian ))ass|)orts to llimgtiritm .lews". I T ll e Independent .lewish press Service-1'aicor News Ag ency receiv.ed a i^ei)oit (juoling the International Ited Cross let the effect that il has already Ix'Mun iiegoiiatiims for tho emi- gr;ition of Hungry's Jews and i|Uoting a Swiss government communique to the effect that the Swiss Legation in Uudai)est has already begun to register Jews for Palestine-
Wlth regard to it Washing¬ ton dispatch, the New York Post statetl editorially:
"TlTe hours tick away and the offer is still unaccepted. Not a wonl comes from any official of the Hriti.sh or V. S. govern¬ ment.
"Prival^lj', Hrilish officials aro saying that they're not too sure of the authenticity of the offer. . . If the Pritish really want to test the offer, let Churchill announce that hence¬ forth the neutral embassies of Switzerland and Turkey in Bti- dafiest are authorized to I.ssue Palestine visas to Hungarian Jews.
•¦if British reluctance to ac¬ cept the offer is based on the fear that the Jews, once in Pal¬ estine, will stay there, she can easily  be  reassured,
"This government and. those ot the other United Nations could promise Mr, Churchill that each will take a promotion just as soon as they are brought to Palestine.
