HAK PR.4NrT8C0 .(WNS)— The Hriii.sh Government expects to remain the sole mandatory over ralo.s'tlne until the new world internatinnal organization will deride the fate of all man¬ dates cnlrn.sted bj the Lea'gue of Nations.
This was indicated in a state¬ ment made hy Lord Granborne, head of the British delegation on the inlern(itif)n.il trusteeship commitlcc and former Colonial Socreliii-y outlining the Rritteh view on tcrVilorial trusteeships. Prc.=.en(ing the lirltish plan on trustct':;hips which will be sub- mittod to the I'nited Nations Confereiice Lord (Iranlxjrne told a iiress c-ontcrence that the draft provides that "no revision of existing League of Natjons man¬ dates exercised hy members of the United Nations shall be made without the agreement of the mandatory power concerned".
Loi'd Granl>orne presented tJie di-aft of a chapter for inclusion in the United Nations charter. The draft states that 'the eight members of the United Nations which have responsibility tor the administration ot dependent ter¬ ritories inhabited by people who are nol yet able to stand by themselves accept the general principle that it is the sacred .trust of civilization to promote to the utmost the weU-belng of the inhabitants of those terri¬ tories. This objective hnplles, among other things, the develop¬ ment of self-government In forms appropriate to the vary¬ ing circumstances Of each terri¬ tory".
Mandate Problem Big Four policy on trustee¬ ships for mandated areas was being welded behind the doors of Secretai-y of State Stettinlus' apartment at the Fairmont Ho¬ tel, while experts ot the Jewish Agency were busy scrutinizing the United States and British proposals on international trus¬ teeships to establish how each ot these plans would affect th^ Palestine mandate.
From the British drrift, it Is obvious that Britain is '(n favor of remaining the sole trustee . over Palestine. From thA Uni¬ ted States draft it can be assum¬ ed that the U. S. would/be in favor of a mixed trust^stiip for Palestine. Zionist leaders here would like to see Palestine under a mixed trusteeship since thia would make the United States one of the trustees, and thus give American Jews the possibil¬ ity of exercising Influence on Palestine's fate.
The most striking difference between the American and Brit¬ ish plans which has a bearing on the future of the Palestine man¬ date Is that the American plan speaks constantly of "interna¬ tional trusteeship" while the British speaks of "territorial tnisteeship". Thus, If the Brit¬ ish plan Is accepted by the con¬ ference there will be no Inter¬ national trusteeship for Pales¬ tine".
It Is Impoftaht lo emphasize that the American plan, as well as the British, provides that "the trusteeship arrangement for each territory to be placed under trusteeship should be agreed up¬ on by the states directly con¬ cerned". In the case of Pales¬ tine It would mean that Britain will have to agree to changes In Palestine's status. The Ameri¬ can plan also Implies that not all I mandated territories will be plaq- J    (Continued on Page Pour)
