President Truman declared
today that Substantial immi-
grafton" into Palestine should
begin at once, as he pledged this
Government to extend it's "im-
mediate assistance"
In q 1,200-word statement prompt
ed by the suspension until December
is of the British-sponsored Pales-
tine Conference in London, the
President asserted that winter would
be here before discussion could be
resumed and that the problem of
aiding displaced persons is too
pressing for further delay.
In making the statement public
at the White House, Press Secretary
. Charles G.. Ross said it had been
communicated by cable last night to
Prime Minister Attlee of Great
Britain. The Associated Press re-
ported from London that Mr.. Attlee
was not available Immediately for
comment.
Opposes Partition Plan.
Mr.. Truman's statement, issued
on the eve of Yom Kippur, solemn
day of atonenent of the Jewish reli-
gion, also disclosed for the first time
that the President could not support
the so-called Palestine partition plan
advanced by the British to settle the
conflict between Arabs and Jews
and approved by the American
Cabinet Committee appointed by
Mr.. Truman to seek to work out a
solution with the British.
In explaining his opposition, Mr.
Truman said this plan had been
opposed by members of both polit-
ical parties ia this country and, lin
accordance with the principle which
I have consistently tried to follow,
of having a maximum degree of
unity within the country and be-
tween the PARTIES on major ele-
ments of American foreign policy, I
could not give my support to this
plan"
In simplifying the statement on
the assistance this country will
render to aid in solving the old
controversy, the President repeated
his belief that the old immigration
laws of America and other countries
should be liberalized to take care
of displaced persons.
Going further, the President said
should workable solution for Pal
estine be devised. I would be willing
to recommend to the Congress a
plan for economic assistance for the
development of that country"
Mr.. Truman reviewed the series
of steps which this Government
has taken in the Palestine situa-
ton, including the recommendation
that 100000 homeless Jews be ad-
mitted to Palestine
Asserting that the British gov
ernment has steadfastly opposed
this proposal, the President once
more advocated it strongly.

ventures into the postwar world
after being in the P>cific trenches
for so long a time. Shulman makes
no attempt to place the novel on a

His ventures into the financial
