James G. McDonald, former League of Nations High Com¬ missioner for Refugees anti one¬ time member of the Anglo- American Committee of lnc|Uiry on Palestine, tttld the convention earlier that "national self-inter¬ est (luite as much as common honesty require that the Brit¬ ish anti we should expedite the fulflllm'eht of the Jewish dream in Palestine." He added that "the obsession of British and American experts with 'realpoli- tik' tUies not even have the jus- tlflca.tlon of being sound from a selfish British and American point of view; it is. not merely immoral. It is unrealistic and self-defeating."
Judge Morris Rothenberg, head of the American .lewish National Funil, reported that American Jews have donated some $14,000,000 to the J.N.F. during the past nine months. He sharply criticized the Palestine; Government's interference with the Jews' attemptij to reclaim and cultivaU' the Negev. Rend¬ ering an account of the J.N.P.'s achievements   during   the   past
three years, he revealed that It had transferred $34,000,000 to the parent body In Palestine In that period.

He said that Sec- retni-y nf State George C. Mar¬ shall's statement to a group of Congressional (eaders earlier this week, to the effect that the U.S. traditional policy on Pal¬ estine has not been changed, was "gratifying," but called for a mfire positive declaration of IKific.v to allay apprehensions coiicerning thp American Gov¬ ernment's   position.
Describing the government's attitude at this time as "tight- lipped," and charging that no one Wtis sure of where It stood, he declared that "If America continues : to remain In Brit- , aln's corner" all recommenda¬ tions of the United Nations will be "utterly doomed." He ex¬ pressed fear that Britain a,nd the U.S. would come'up with a new version of the British plan to "federalize" Palestine into autonomous, areas under a Hritish-domlnated central au¬ thority. He also voiced his op¬ position  to  partition.
Referring to Andrei Gromy- ko's speech at the speclal ses¬ sion of the U.N. General A.s- * .semlily in May, he -said that the Soviet Union's position was "a positive and substantial gain for our movement."

Dr. Chaim Weizmann Asks U.N,.foc Partition As the Only Feasible Solution for Palestine
JERV.'iALB.M (JTA)—Declar¬ ing that anything less than "Jewish sovereignty in the whole of Palestine" is "admit¬ tedly a compromise," Dr. Chalm Welzmann, former president of the World Zionist Organization, told the United Nations Special Committee on Palestine that "the only compromise which I can advocate and which I have advocated since the Royal Com¬ mission of 1036 brought the subject up for discussion is par¬ tition and independence of the partitioned part."
"I am convinced," he said, "that partition. In spite of Its difficulties. In spite of the great sacrifice It means for us. Is such a solution because it Is final. It win give us the- oppor¬ tunity of continuing and expand¬ ing our work in peace, and it Will give the Arabs assurance that we are not going to en¬ croach upon their rights and their territory."
He set forth the following two conditions, as a preretjulsite 'to partition:
(l)The area of the Jewish state must be eo drawn as to give accessibility to water and
electrical power resources so that the country could be ef¬ fectively developed for the ob- sorptlon of large-scale Immigra- tiiSh.
(2)He urged that this area should comprise Galilee and the coastal plain as well as Negev (the desert area of southern Palestine) and the Jewish area of Jerusalem,
Partition as a solution of the Palestine problem Wiis, from the Jewish point of view, "a mlhimum proposal not a maxi¬ mum proposal which can be whittled down," he said, and without "t h e basic- require¬ ments," which he had outlined, no responsible Jewish body would be prepared to accept a solution on partition lines.
Dr. Welzmann stated that he was convinced tha( -a Jewish and an Arab state in Palestine would Soon discover many com¬ mon interests such as railways, customs. Irrigation and power schemes. "In a short time clog. Ing economic cooperation must grow out of the partition of Palestine. Political separation 'Continued on Page 8)   -    ,
