The Jewish community of Palestine does not want to launch a civil war against the terrorist groups, but if no other means of curbing them is found to be effective, force will have to be used, Mrs. Goldie Meirson, Jewish Agency political chief in Jerusalem, said today. She told a press conference here that “armed gangs cannot be allowed to dictate Yishuv policy.”
Dr. Nahum Goldmann, who shared the press conference with Mrs. Meirson, expressed satisfaction with the developments at the U.N. session on Palestine. Dr. Goldmann, who has just arrived from the U.S., said that it was possible that the American Government might make a public statement of policy on Palestine before the U.N. inquiry commission and not wait for the next General Assembly session in September.
