Warning against possible repercussions of Central European events on Palestine was given today in the weekly, Great Britain and the East, in an article by its editor-in-chief, Kenneth Williams. The publication often mirrors Colonial Office policy.
“If anything could hurry a decision regarding Palestine’s future it is the state of Europe and the reactions to British positions elsewhere,” the article said.
The Arab minority in the Jewish State proposed under Britain’s partition plan for Palestine “would play the same part which the Sudeten Germans have played in Czechoslovakia,” warns Menachem M. Ussishkin, leader of the Zionists who oppose partition, in an interview appearing in the Jewish chronicle tomorrow. “They would do tomorrow what the Sudetens are doing today,” he declares.
In an editorial on the four-power conference at Munich, the Daily Star suggests today inclusion of the Palestine problem in the peace talks. “If today,” the paper states, “there starts a movement toward all-around understanding, it will be a day in history to be celebrated with thankfulness beyond all the relief we feel now.”
