Secretary of State MarshalFs
first public statement on Palestine
has caused considerable specula-
ton.
In the midst of his first press
conference since entering the State
Department, the Secretary, after
a lengthy review of our foreign
problems, volunteered some H.
marks about Palestine. A warmth,
and sympathetic note entered his
voice, in rather sudden contrast
to the brisk tone with which he
dispatched a long list of ether
questions, from disarmament to re-
organization of the Department.
Marshall is not a man to talk
for the sake of talking. Nor in
the manner Of many diplomats,
does he talk to beclOud an issue.
Therefore, the words he uses carry
significance. When he termed as
not the case at all, the generally
assumed implication that the Brit
ish plan strong military action in
Palestine, he must have had good
grounds for SO saying.
In the face OF the chaotic, panic
inspired measures so far enforced
by the British, Marshalps state
ment is not easy to accept. But
weight is lent it by reports from
otner sources. They indicate that
Foreign Secretary Bevin, concern

LABOR BILL:

many ways has been approved by
the house Republican steering COM
mittee. It's most drastic provision,
perhaps, is a clause authorizing the
federal government to obtain in
functions for 75-day period in in
dustries which affect public health
or safety. This apparently would
cover the telephone and other COM
munication industries, coal mining,
electric light and power companies,
railroads and possibly several other
fields.
The bill was prepared under di-
rection of Chairman Hartley (Rep.,
N. J.) Of the house labor committee.
He told newsmen he hoped that the
bill would pass the house within a
week. It probably faces struggle
in the senate, observers believe.
