A Jewish Agency spokesman today told the Trusteeship Council that the Jews are ready to accept a full-fledged U.N. democratic regime in Jerusalem for the next ten years.

In presenting the Agency’s views on the proposed draft statute for the internationalization of Jerusalem, Dr. Mordecai Eliash said the Agency is opposed to the principle of proportionate representation in electing the city’s legislative body. He said such a plan recognizes an Arab-Jewish cleavage which may not exist.
