A meeting of the leading members of the Jewish Agency here, under the chairmanship of David Ben Gurion, decided not to issue any statement concerning Foreign Minister Bevin’s announcement that Britain favored independence for Transjordan, it was learned today. If any statement is issued by the Agency, it will be made by its political department in Jerusalem.
The British Mizrachi Federation, meanwhile, has announced that “the Jewish people can never acquiesces to the partition of Palestine by the severance of Transjordan.” It charged that the Bevin announcement has weakened the status of the Anglo-American inquiry committee.
