Soviet Magazine Demands
j. n. Action on Palestine

MOSCOW, April 28.-The Soviet
magazine New Times took issue to-
day with the argument that the
United Nations should not act i'm
mediately in the Palestine case.
A New Times writer said that the
British mandate in Palestine had
been "discredited" and that the
situation demands urgent and i'm
mediate reconsideration of the
status Of Palestine and reconsider
alton of the question of creation of
a democratic regime"
In another article, the New Times
declared that President Truman's
proposal to aid Greece and Turkey
had a direct relation to American
oil interests in the Middle East, y
and spoke of efforts of American
Imonopolies to establish their COM
plete domination over the oil
riches" of that part of the world.
Increased penetration of those
countries of the Middle East, which
Iup to now were exclusively within
the British sphere of influence -
this article said, causes some
anxiety in British circles" ,z

Al Dov Gruner Memorial
By the Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA, April 28.-Sen-
ator Tobey, Republican of New
Hampshire, says if England can not
afford to keep few troops In
Greece, then what mockery it
makes of the fact that she can af-
ford to keep 100000 of her troops in
Palestine"
In view of such circumstances, he
told approximately $500 persons at
a memorial rally here yesterday
the United States should base any
further aid to Great Britain on that
nations decision to give freedom to
the Jews in Palestine"
The rally, held in memory Of Dow
Gruner who was hanged recently by
the British for underground activ-
tiles in Palestine, was sponsored by
the American League for Free
Palestine.
The Senator accused England of
havirg been "faithless' in her COM
mittment as a trustee in bringing
about the settlement of homeless
Jews of the Old World in Pales-
tine"
Senator Tobey added that "it is
time that the United States Gov
ernment took constructive action
"in settling the Palestine question" ="

Mr.. Gwynne's statement was
made in answer to a question from
member of the American Trade
Association executives, holding their

ment and president of the Stude-

sues its present course of nationaliz-
ing all industries the British people
will discover you can't have So

Turning to domestic issues, Mr..
Hoffman said he saw mo excuse for
another (economic) bust of the 1890
variety" Planning and thorough
study by both government and in
dustry can result in solution to
periodic booms and depressions, he
declared.
Mr.. Hoffman said tax rates should
be stabilized so that they can pro-
duce a surplus in good times. 'If
we reduce taxes every time business
is good it might bring trouble he
declared.

Mr.. Attlee's assertion that Mr..
Churchill laid the foundation for
the present coal crisis during his

at least Is points while money wages
remained stable

he had made a grave mistake in re-
turning Britain to the gold stand
ard, Mr.. Churchill stated:
HE says that / acted on advice.
Indeed I did. on the advice of COM
mittee appointed by Lord Snowden,
the chancellor in the Socialist gov
ernment in 1924, of which Mr.. Attlee
was himself. a member"
The Attlee- Churchill debate began
last week when Mr.. Churchill
