Sharp opposition to “any partition formula” was voiced ## Moshe Sneh, a member of the Jewish Agency executive, speaking at the Eighth Conference of the French General Zionist Organization.

Dr. Sneh denounced imperialism as “enemy No. 1,” and accused Foreign Secretary ##Ernest Bevin of an attempt to sabotage the U.N. Palestine Committee by his declaration that he would accept only a unanimous solution. “meaning that which will be acceptable to himself and Arabs.”Reviewing the attitude taken by the various nations at the U.N. special session ##on Palestine, Dr. Sneh said the Soviet Union had been friendly and France, the Latin-American countries and the Eastern European states had indicated that they might support the Zionist position. Urging an “Asiatic reorientation,” he declared that it must not be overlocked that Zionism means a return of Israel to Asia, adding that Asiatic countries must not be neglected by the Jewish Agency.
