Underscoring the need for Am

McGiI said: ''You owe it to the
Jews now in the displaced per-

for them there. No Arab has been
displaced, nor will any Arab be
displaced. Palestine is the solu-

he said, that the objections to

much to build up the country

Mr.. McGin reported that con-

ably. ''In those camps where con-
