A proposal that the U.N. Security Council apply economic sanctions against Arab states refusing to abide by U.N, decisions on Palestine was made here today by M.J. Coldwell, national leader of the Cooperative Commonwealth Federation, Canada’s Socialist Party, during a debate in Parliament on foreign affairs.

Reaffirming that petition is still the best solution for the Palestine problem and blaming the U.S. reversal on partition for the present chaotic situation in the country, Coldwell also urged the Security Council tot Establish immediately an international police force for Palestine; 2. Enable the Palestine Commission to proceed to set up administrative machinery in Palestine; 3. Issue a warning to the Arab states to abide by the U.N. decisions a d cease all aggressive acts in Palestine.
