chief of the Jewish Agency Execu-
tive, said in Jerusalem that the Jews
wanted Western Galilee because of
it's hilly terrain in contrast with the
fiat lands in most Of the Jewish
area and for strategic reasons. She
said it would afford a common from
tier with Lebanon, which, she added,
was more than so per cent Christian
Arab.
She asserted that given better
division of Palestine, no Jew would
insist on including Jaffa in a Jewish
state" That city, nearly all Arab.
would go to the Jewish state under
the partition plan.
End of Mandate Urged.
Meanwhile, the Arab Higher Com
mittee demanded an end Of the Brit
ish mandate over Palestine, stop
page of all Jewish immigration and
the establishment Of an Independent
Arab Palestine.
It termed the partition proposal
contrary to Arab aspirations, the
United Nations charter and AL
principles of rights and justice"
Both Jewish and Arab leaders
favor Palestine independence, but
only some of the Jews lean toward
partition. Arab politicians have been
solidly for an Arab Palestine.
Jews have demanded more Jewish
immigration, Arabs none at all. The
British now limit this to 1900 a
month. Under the committee ma
jority plan, it would be 10000 in
two years-6,250 month-for the
prescribed transition period, and, If
this took longer than two years,
60, 900 a year after that.
In the majority U. N. report were
Canada, Czechosloyakia, Guatemala,
the Netherlands, Peru, Sweden and
Uruguay; in the minority, India,
Iran and Yugoslavia. Australia
signed with neither group.
The majority recommended that
in the transition period Palestine be
administered under U. N. supervi-
sion by Britain and "one or more"
other U. N. members. If desired.
Britain is already on record as re-
fusing to administer the Holy Land
alone regardless of what decision
the U. N. makes. Sir Alexander
Cadogan, chief British delegate,
said during the U. N. special As
sembly session on Palestine that his
government refused to spend un-
| limited British pounds or lives In
inforcing a U. N. Palestine deci-
sion.
Some sources believed in view OF
this statement and the committee s
recommendations that Britain
might accept the plan and ask the
United States to join her IN this
task.
Whether the United States would
agree to helping administer Pales-
tine If called on was not known
The United States has thus far not
made known its position on Pales-
tine.
It was recalled, however, that
President Truman is on record for
prompt admission Of 100000 Jews
to Palestine and for a Jewish state
in an adequate area" OF Palestine
Economic Agreement Required.
The U. N. committee recon-

by fhs Associated Press

DETROIT. Sept. Awhile voic.
ing a hope for a progressive Demo.
cratic Party" Henry A. Wallace
said at huge CIO Labor Day rally
yesterday that 1--WE shall build new
party" If that aim is not achieved
The former Vice President and
cabinet member told more than
50 900 persons that IF you do not
enter into premature compromises
with the reactionary elements Of
the Democratic Party, I am Ger.
tain you can still be heard and fell
within the party"
Then he asserted: w..
"If you viii organize the neces-
sary political machinery to discuss
issues and get out the vote In every
precinct, ward, and district in the
State, the elected delegates to the
State convention-who select youl
delegates to the national conven.
tion-will either heed your senti-
ments or be required to accept re-
sponsibility for the defeat Of 9
reactionary Democratic Party rather
than credit for the victory Of
progressive Democratic Party.
IF you have such machinery anc
are not needed, you will still be ir
q position to put a farmer-labol
party on the ballot that Will as.
sure all progressive voters q clear
cut choice in November, 1913"
"If we don't make the Democratic
Party into a party Of peace and pros.
perity." he added, I'VE shall build
new party,
Mr.. Wallace also said that "pres.
ent policies of the Congress and the
administration are guiding thi!
country toward depression and war.
Mr.. Wallace was in the vanguard
of marchers leading a parade Of ar
estimated 10000 C1O members
which followed an earlier AFT
parade and mass meeting at which
Senator william LANCER, Republican
of North Dakota, was principa
speaker.
Mr.. Wallace said his principal in.
terest was "in trying to make the
Democratic Party more liberal" ane
added that "the liberal movement
in this country never will get any.
where until there is unified labor ir
the country"
Sees Depression Begun.
Saving depression has already
begun in some lines" Mr.. Wallace
asserted that he was certain that
a politically aware labor movement
could control the next Congress and
prevent the Nation from finally
passing into a tailspin of 1882 pro.
portions"
Turning to international affairs
Mr.. Wallace said half of the money
used on our fight Russia program
could be used with wonderful results
here inside the United States tc
lengthen and improve the lives Of
our own people. while the other hall
could be used to expand trade with
the devastated and backward areas
on basis that would lead to peace
rather than to war"
y He advocated an American" for.
eign policy which doesn't mean sup.
port for the royalists in Greece and
thinly yelled hostility to 1ndonesians
struggling for freedom"
At the AFL rally Senator Langel

District Removes
1884 Trees, but
Plants Only 1856

The Districts tree population de-
creased by 1878 due to storms,
disease and street widening projects
during the last year.
While 1884 trees were removed
John w. Batson, trees and parking
superintendent, said in his annual
report, only 1856 new trees were
planted. OF these, ITO oaks, naples
elms and gingkos were used to re-
place trees taken out because OF
street widening projects.
The Trees and Parking Division
also tore down 991 tree boxes, trim
med 18,847 trees, spent $9,087 now
ing weeds and used DDT sprays
against insects with marked success
The bottleneck in the Districts S
tree planting program, Mr.. Batson
said, has been the problem posed
by hole digging. He said a new
hole-digging machine, ordered and
expected to arrive soon, should
enable the District at least to re-
place all the trees removed.

Sir Ian became the center of a
public controversy as the result
of the Dardanelles expedition. The
expedition was conceived by Mr.
Churchill. Under his plan, the
British and French were to force
the straits and thus open a sea
supply route to their ally, imperial
Russia, while splitting the Turkish
empire, the ally of Germany.
Warships could not get past the
forts guarding the Dardanelles. A
long delay ensued, and then land
troops under Sir Ian established q
beachhead on the Gallipoli Pensin-
sula to try to take the forts from
the rear.
The Turks, German-trained and
led by Mustapha Kemal Pasha, had
had plenty of time to organize re-
sistance. In four months of hard
fighting, the Allies advanced only
six miles and lost 10000 killed The
campaign eventually was aban-
