AMERICAN JEWISH COMMITTEE URGES PARTITION AS FINAL SOLUTION
OF THE PALESTINE PROBLEM
NEW YORK (WNS)—The American .lewish Committee, tlirough its president, Josepli M. Prosltauer, anti it.'! executive committee chairman, Jacob Blaustein, thi.s weelt submitted to the United Nations Committee of Inquiry Into Paiestine a statement which affirms the Jewish right to immigrate to and settle in Palestine and urges establishment of a United Na¬ tions trusteeship to see to it that, "in the name of right and in the name of humanity alilie", thase Jewish rights be enforced.
The British White Paper of 1939, ending immigration and restrictijig Jewish land pur¬ chase. Is characterized by the statement as a "breach of trust" which "must be struck down". The American Jewish Commit¬ tee opposes immediate determin¬ ation of Palestine's final political constitution but If final determ¬ ination must be made, the state¬ ment says, partition along the
lines urged la.st summer b,y the members of the Jewish Agency is  the  only  .solution.
Should the U.N. Committee deckle that the determination of the final settlement of the political status ot. Palestine is not advisable at .present, the American Jewish Committee statement urges the immediate granting of 100,000 immigration certificates for Palestine during 1947 for Jews in European dis¬ placed persons camps; the subse¬ quent facilitation of. maximum Jewish immigration and guar¬ antee of Jewish land purchase rights; the steady development of local self-government under trusteeship council direction; United Nations policing'^of Pal¬ estine; and the continuation of the trusteeship until the U.N. determines that the time for independence has arrived, with complete equality of all citizens guaranteed by a bill of rights.
