PREDICTING THAT THOSE WHO DESIRE PARTITION AND A JEWISH STATE WILL HAVE THEIR WISH IN THE COMPARATIVELY NEAR FUTURE, PROF. MAURICE J. KARPF, NON-ZIONIST MEMBER OF THE JEWISH AGENCY, SAID TONIGHT THE ONLY WAY TO PREVENT PARTITION WAS FOR THE ANTI-PARTITIONISTS TO UNITE AND ORGANIZE THEIR FORCES.
PARTITION, DR. KARPF TOLD A GROUP OF ZIONIST LEADERS HERE, CANNOT BE FOUGHT BY NEGATION ALONE, BUT CONSTRUCTIVE AND SATISFACTORY ALTERNATIVE PROPOSALS MUST BE DEVELOPED.
EMPHASIZING HE WAS SPEAKING IN NO OFFICIAL CAPACITY, DR. KARPF SAID THAT IF RECENT HAPPENINGS IN PALESTINE AND LONDON WERE PROPERLY INTERPRETED, THERE WAS NO ESCAPE FROM THE CONCLUSION THAT GREAT BRITAIN IS MOVING DEFINITELY AND INEXORABLY IN THE DIRECTION OF PARTITION.
