Count Bernddotte
Editorial in The Christian Science
Monitor)


Count Folke Bernadotte gave
wisdom, courage, and devotion to
his task as United Nations me-
diator in Palestine. How m h
wisdom was shown in the mex-
pected success which established
two truces between Jews and
Arabs. How much courage was
disclosed by his continued negotia-
tons with fanatic fighters and his
fearless journeying in trigger-hap-
py areas. How much devotion is
now counted in the last full meas
ure exacted by the shooting at
Jerusalem.
Men "in the uniform of the jew
ish Army" are reported respon-
sible for the killing of Count Ber-
nadotte and an other UN official
Without more incarnation it must
be assumed that the shooting was
an accident or that the men were
Stern Gang members in disguise
1t is reported that the Stern Gang
had threatened the Count. In any
case, the Zionist cause will suffer
