Arms Piled Up in North Palestine to Resist Partition, London Hears

THINNING OF THE FAVORABLE ATMOSPHERE TOWARD A JEWISH-ARAB COMPROMISE OBVIATING THE NEED OF PARTITIONING PALESTINE WHICH HAD EXISTED FOR A FEW DAYS IN JERUSALEM WAS REPORTED TODAY IN A DISPATCH TO THE LONDON TIMES.

THERE IS NO IMMEDIATE PROSPECT OF DISORDER IN THE HOLY LAND, THE TIMES DISPATCH DECLARED, BUT ACCORDING TO TRUSTWORTHY INFORMATION ARMS ARE BEING COLLECTED IN THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF THE COUNTRY TO OPPOSE BY FORCE ANY ATTEMPT TO CARRY OUT THE PARTITION PLAN.

IN AN EDITORIAL THE TIMES DECLARED PARTITION STILL HOLDS THE FIELD AS THE ONLY VISIBLE PRACTICAL SOLUTION OF THE PALESTINE DEADLOCK. IT WILL BE SURPRISING, THE EDITORIAL HELD, IF GENEVA CAN DISCOVER A BETTER ONE.
