The usually well-informed London correspondent of the Cairo newspaper Al-Aharam today reports that he has learned from reliable non-Jewish circles that the British White Paper will soon be abolished and Palestine re-opened to Jewish immigration.
“There is no doubt,” the correspondent cables. “that English public opinion is in faver of the Zionist maximalist demands. However, important British circles insist on the partitioning of Palestine as the best solution of the Arab-Jewish problem.”
The correspondent believes that the new Labor Government “will soon consider the Palestine problem, though there is no indication as to the precise plans which the government may have formed, beyond the rescinding of the White Paper.” He points out that the general opinion in London is that Russia will not support the convension of all of Palestine into a Jewish State, and that American political leaders will not fulfill the promises made by the party conventions with regard to furthering Zionist aims.
