NO GOVERNMENT HAS RAISED ANY OBJECTIONS TO THE BRITISH PROPOSAL TO TRIPARTITION PALESTINE, IT WAS REVEALED HERE TODAY.

ALL HAVE VOICED AGREEMENT WITH THE SCHEME IN PRINCIPLE, MAKING THEIR ATTITUDES KNOWN IN NOTES TO THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS ON GREAT BRITAIN’S REQUEST TO HAVE THE PERMANENT MANDATES COMMISSION CONSIDER THE PARTITION PROPOSALS AT ITS JULY 30 SESSION.

SOME OF THE REPLIES, IT WAS STATED HERE, QUALIFY THEIR ASSENT MAKING IT CONTINGENT UPON THE AGREEMENT OF THE OTHER NATIONS. POLAND, AMONG THE MOST INTERESTED OF NATIONS SINCE IT AFFECTS AN IMPORTANT EMIGRATION OUTLET, HAS ALSO REPLIED IN THE AFFIRMATIVE, BUT RESERVED THE RIGHT TO MAKE OBSERVATIONS AT A MEETING OF THE LEAGUE COUNCIL.
