London’s Sunday newspapers are almost unanimous today in stating that Britain will not act to implement the recommendations of the Anglo-American Palestine committee without U.S. assistance.
The Sunday Times, Conservative organ, assures the Labor Government of the Opposition’s support, if it refuses to undertake the Palestine task single-handed. The newspaper People expresses the belief that the committee’s recommendations will be shelved until the U.N. takes over the trusteeship, while the Observer says that Britain does not wish to evade its obligations to the Jews, but cannot afford to forfeit the goodwill of the Arabs. “Arab friendship,” it says, “is as important to Britain as the Jewish vote to America.”
