British Expect Recession
OF Arab Stand on Palestine

LONDON, Sept. IA (P).-A British
informant today said Britain eX-
poets Arab leaders negotiating here
for a settlement on Palestine to
recede next week from their stand
for an undivided, Arab dominated
Holy Land
But the British prediction of a
possible compromise met with a
strong denial from a source close
to the Arab delegates. who have
rejected the British plan for a fed
Grated Palestine divided into Arab
and Jewish provinces under Brit
ish control.
Only British officials and spokes-
men for seven Arab nations have
sat at the conference table during
this first week of talks. but Russia
and the United States have exerted
q strong influence on the negotia-
tions. Jews and Palestine Arabs
have boycotted the discussions.
Arab leaders pointed to Soviet
interest in the Middle East as
main argument to win British
agreement with their demands for
a single Palestinian nation with
out provision for a Zionist state.
They made no secret of their in
creasing bitterness and hostility to
what they regard as strong support
by the United States for creating a
Zionist state in Palestine.
British reaction to the Arab
stand will be voiced by Foreign
Secretary Bevin Monday when the
conference resumes and the Arabs
formally present counterproposals

that Wallace was speaking as a

Western powers size up the situation
and they probably are not far
wrong.
Compromise Difficult.
An issue like this is not easy to
resolve. Compromise here is much
harder than 1t is In border dispute
for instance. The peaceful settle
ment OF border dispute may con-
sist simply in moving the line a
little bit this way here, little bit
that way there. until both parties
are equally dissatisfied.
But it seems clear in this case
that the fate Of the free territory
of Trieste either will be controlled
internationally or it will not-spe-
clf1cally, that the territory either
will be subject to the rulings of an
international authority which can
act or 1t will not.
That Is why this issue is the
heart OF the Trieste problem. The
other points in dispute, in theory
at least. can be compromised But
mere Is point on which somebody
is going to have to yield and Weld
ing is not an easy thing for any,
body to do these DAYS.

Hitting at Britain, Mr.. Molotov
said principles of democracy of the
18th Century could not be applied
in the goth, and offered Greece and
Bulgaria as an example of two diff
ferent types Of democracy in exist
ence today.
In Greece, he said. the elections
were conducted with trickery and
foreign interference, while in Bull
garia no Soviet pressure had been
exercised.
He said the natives in British
colonies were treated like children
and said the British plan for the
goVernorShip of Trieste was SIM
liar to that with which it had in
vested its governors in India and
on the Gold Coast of Africa.
Poland Supports YugosIavia.
Earlier, both Poland and the
Ukraine had urged that Yugoslavia
be given more say in control of
Trieste.
M. j. Winiewicz. Polish Ambas-
sador to Paris, urged that the new
Trieste territory be tied to Yugo-
slaVia in a customs, monetary, har-
Dor and railway union.
He said "all links between italy
and Trieste must be severed or we
shall run the same risk as occurred
with Danzig.' He opposed United
Nations Security Council supervi-
sion of Trieste, saying lit is too
dangerous to put too much of a
burden on its shoulders"
Prof. N. Petrovsky of the Ukraine
followed similar line of argument,
saving that Yugoslavia should rep
resent Trieste in all diplomatic re-
lations.
Arguments on the drafting of
statute for Trieste will continue
into the eighth week of the confer
ence. When the discussion is COM
pleted, subcommittee will go to
Trieste to work on the statute. The
political and territorial commission
for Italy then will begin discussion
of boundaries for the Trieste free

RedsRejectU. n. Plan
To Finance Refugees
Move 10 New Homes
By the Associoted Press

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y, Sept, IA
Soviet Russia served notice today
that she would not participate in
any refugee plan which provided
for compulsory contributions to
finance the resettlement of displaced
persons outside their native coun-
tries.
Soviet Delegate Nikolai Feonov re-
jected the principle of compulsory
contributions during a debate in
the United Nations Economic and
Social Council on the question of
setting up an international refugee
organization to take over the refu-
gee work now being handled by
UNRRA.
Under draft financial plan
which has been submitted to the
council, each country which ratifies
the constitution of the proposed Or
ganization would be required to
make whatever contributions were
assigned in the general plan.
Assails UNRRA Failure"
Mr.. Feonov, assailing UNRRA for
failure in handling the task of re-
patriation, said he believed this
problem should be solved before the
U. N. takes up the question of re-
settling the thousands who do not
wish to return to their countries OF
origin.
He said large number of the
e3o,000 in displaced persons camps
in Europe were those who did not
wish to go to their original homes
because of propaganda against their
governments or because they had
committed crimes against their gov
ernmentS. In the case of Russia
he said, many of those who refused
to return either had collaborated
with the enemy or had lived abroad
for many years campaigning against
their government.
1T is difficult to see how a coun-
try-in this case the Soviet Union
can be expected to finance the re-
settlement of large groups of people
who in their new homes would carry
on their hostility to the Soviet Gov
ernment," Mr.. Feonov said.
India Also Objects.
Indian Delegate Sir Giria Shan
kar Bajpai said his government also
would hesitate to accept the prin-
clple of compulsory contributions
He said India already had con-
tributed S32 900 900 to UNRRA. while
hundreds of thousands Of Indians
died from famine, and had received
no aid.
French Delegate Alexandra Parodi
warned that the great mass of dis
placed persons in the American and
British zones Of Germany, which he
said already were oyercrowded
might become a definite threat to
the security of those areas unless
they either were repatriated or re-
settled soon.
Mr.. Feonov said millions of dis
placed persons had been returned
to their homes, but that essentially
UNRRA had failed in this task.
This, he said. should now be under
taken as the primary task of the
U. N refugee agency.
Peruvian Delegate Alberto Area
Parro, who had indicated he would
offer several drastic amendments to
Secretary General Trygve Lies pro-
posal for creation of an interim
refugee commission. proposed that a
subcommittee be named to consider
such amendments, but he withdrew
his suggestion after Chairman An
drija Stampar of Yugoslavia said
several ether delegates still wanted
to speak on the general subject.
The council adjourned until Mon
day morning.
