The Jewish Agency will oppose any partition scheme Palestine in whatever form such scheme may come, the Davar, leading Hebrew newspaper, reported today quoting “highest sources.”

“Talk of any other solution of the Palestine problem, but that based on the Biltmore Declaration which calls for the establishment of a Jewish Commonwealth, is a stab in the back of the Jewish people,” the Davar quotes members of the Jewish Agency as saying.
