A vote of “no-confidence” will be sought against the government by some members of the British Labor Party when the bill to terminate the Palestine Mandate has its second reading in the House of Commons next Wednesday, it was revealed this week-end by Ian Mikardo, Laborite M.P., at the opening of the annual conference of the Poale Zion of Great Britain. He declared that the motion ?f “no confidence” will be made because the bill provides for termination of the mandate without mentioning the successor states of the Mandatory and without prodding for transfer of power to the U.N. Palestine Commission.
The conference adopted a resolution ceiling upon progressive forces throughout the world to uphold the U.N. decision against attempts of “reactionary Arab fascist leaders who seek to overthrow it by force.” Other resolutions urged passage of legislation against anti-Semitism in Britain and welcomed preparations to form the first Jewish Government in Palestine.
