Palestine Mandate
Problem for UN0,
Singleton Believes
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Sir John Singleton, British CO.
chairman of the Anglo American
Palestine Committee, indicated yes
terday that he expects the United
Nations Organization eventually will
consider the Palestine problem.
The committee concluded its
hearings in this country yesterday
and will sit next in London.
Il am presupposing that since the
League of Nations has passed on,
the UNO in time will consider all
these matters of mandates Sir
John remarked. Britain adminis-
ters Palestine under a League man
date.
At the final session the Rev. T. F
Summerhayes of Toronto, social
service chaplain of the Church of
England in Canada, expressed his
personal opinion that zionism is
leading to civil war in Palestine.
Cites BalfOur Declaration.
He quoted the Balfour declara-
ton as specifying that nothing be
done to prejudice the civil and re-
ligious rights of existing non-Jewish
communities in Palestine.
He held that whatever the Brit
ish government has promised the
Jews as to Palestine should be
granted and likewise what has been
promised the Arabs should be Sc
cured to them.
The Zionists want unlimited i'm
migration into Palestine, he said
and if the Arabs resist as firmly
as they say they will IAN explosion
in the whole Middle East" is threat
ened.
He asked the committee to con-
slider whose military force will ex-
pei the Arabs and maintain order
in Palestine when chiefly occupied
by the Jews.
will the Canadians be asked to
share?" he inquired. IF they are, it
will then become the duty of the
church to examine into the moral
justification for this use of force,
and to advise our members whether
their participation therein or even
consent to it, is Christian and justi-
fable.
Pledge to Arabs Noted.
M. S. Massoud, secretary-treasure
of the Canadian-Ara Friendship
League, asked the committee if
Britain's pledges to the Arabs are to
be ignored because the zionists
claim political influence in the
United States.
The intent of the Zionists has
come into the open" he said. 1T is
not a humanitarian project but a
political scheme. The cry is, Save
the 100000 Why the 100000?
There are 100000 Jews. Why be
careless about the rest?"
He said the average Jew and the
average Arab want peace.
Ambitious leaders have deceived
the Jew on the Palestine issue and
are today creating confusion among
English-speaking people" he con-
tinued.
I'VE, the Arabs, make a clear dis
tinction between the Jew who is a
follower of the Hebraic faith. and
the political Zionist who aims to es-
tablish kingdom or republic on
charity deducted from American
and English taxes. to arm and equip
it at the expense of world Jewry
and expand it from the Nile to the
Euphrates"
Prof. Frank w. Notestein of
Princeton, an expert on population
trends, said he could not foresee
how the Jews could achieve or hold
a majority unless immigration
sharply increased because, he de-
clared, the Arabs multiply faster
than the Jews.

be able to report that net earnings
from recurring sources were mate
rally higher than year ago, hav-
ing increased nearly 20 per cent
AT the close of the year l945 our
loans showed substantial increase
over the preceding year"
Citing the banks participation in
the sale of bonds to others, and its
own purchase of Federal securities,
Mr. Fleming said that on December
81, 1945, the banks holdings of Gov
ernment securities totaled S226, ,204, :

RUSSDISpUTE
 FARLEY VOTE
 ON BULGARIA.
BY MEI. Mos2

PARIS, Sept. 18.-Soviet Russia for the first time invoked the Paris peace conferences two-thirds rule on one of the commissions to- day and gave notice that she in tended to submit a minority report to the plenary session.
 The Russian determination to continue to fight against decisions she opposes was made known in the Bulgarian political commission, over the question of submitting dis putes under the treaty to the h. ternational Court of Justice.
 A Russian proposal to settle such disputes by referring them to the British, American and Russian am bassadors to Bulgaria was defeated eight to five and a British -Ameri- can amendment to refer them to the International Court was carried by the same vote. One of the eight votes was cast by France.
 The Soviet delegate, Nikolai V. Novikov. thereupon challenged the right of France to vote in the Bull garian commission and declared that nevertheless the decision was by less than two-thirds majority

NAVY PLANE
 10 ATTEMPT
 REC0RDH HOP
Flying Boat Will Follow Great Circle, Aus
 traIia 10 Seattle

WASHINGTON, Sept 1S.-The Navy plans 9,00o-mile flight "a long distance record-from Australia to the United States in a twin-engine flying boat, it was announced today, via the Great Circle Route.
 The "Truculent Turtle" Lock heed long range Navy P2V Neptune, will take off late this month from Perth. Australia, and fly the Great Circle Route to Seattle, the Navy said. It is expected to take A hours. The plane has been alter ed to carry an extra load of gaso- line.
 Vice Adm. Arthur w. Radfcrd, deputy chief of Naval Operations, hinted the plane might go farth- CT than 5000 miles when he told a reporter that the destination of the plane was not fixed, although the flight will be directed to eros the West Coast near Seattle.
 Complete latitude has been giv- en the pilot" he said. He can continue after he reaches the West Coast, just as he thinks best"
 While describing the flight as a test of plane endurance and pilot fatigue" and disclaiming that it is primarily a long distance record attempt, Admiral Radford conceded that successful completion of the trip as far as Seattle would top the previous record flight of a little more than 5000 miles made in an army B-29 from Guam to Washington
 The purpose of the flight, Rad ford added, is three-fold: to test methods of extending patrol planes ranges; to evaluate a new method of navigation; and to study crew endurance and fatigue on extended flights.
 The Army has been waiting for good weather for several weeks to try to lift a B-29 over the North Polar regions in a 10000 mile flight from Hawaii to Cairo. At latest report this over -the-top flight by Col. c. S. Irvine has been indefin- itely postponed.
