Arab Invasion of
Palestine to Begin
Nay 18th

DIR. Jorge Garcia GranadOs, re-
firing Guatemalan Ambassador and
chief delegate to the United Ma
lions, charged this week that Arab
bands have been permitted to enter
Palestine on condition "that they
delay the opening of their attacks
upon the Palestine Jews until May
18th, the date when the British
Mandate ends"
"This," he added, 'is invasion by
consent-and the blame for it falls
upon the shoulders of the British"
The Guatemalan Ambassador is
sued his statement at press con-
ference and reception given in his
honor at the Ritz-CarItOn Hotel by
the Zionist Organization of Amer
lea.
Top ranking Zionist leaders,
headed by DR.. Emanuel Neumann,
ZOA president, attended the recep-
ton and paid tribute to DR..
Granados.
DIR. GranadOs, who had served
as chief of the Guatemalan delega-
ton to the United Nations from
1916 to 1947, leaves today for
BOgOta, Columbia, as a member of
his nations delegation to the PAN
American Conference.
Calling attention to the fact that
he was a member of the United
Nations Special Committee on Pal
estine and that he had signed the
majority report, DR.. Granados de-

1.-THE decision of the General
Assembly remains valid for the
Jewish people," he said. eff the
United Nations Commission is I'M
able to carry out the mandates
which were assigned to it by the
General Assembly, the Jewish
people of Palestine will move for
ward in the spirit of that reso-.
luton and will do everything
which will be dictated by consid-
erations of national survival, as
well as the considerations of JUS
tice and historic rights.
The plan for an interim u. N.
trusteeship is likely, he said, to
lead "tO increased violence in
Palestine and will intellectually
hurt the prestige of the United
Nations for whose effectiveness
the President of the United States
pleaded again so recently as last
Wednesday night.
cit should be clear to every
one, DR.. Silver added, chat the
establishment of a trusteeship by
the United Nations in Palestine
will not automatically insure peace
in that country" He warned that
force will have to be used, just as
it would have been required to
carry out partition.
DIR. Silver said an attempt was
clearly being made to force upon
the Jewish community of PaIes-
tine a settlement that would
diminish it's sovereignty, terri
tory and immigration as was pro-
vided for in the partition plan.
Otherwise no new proposals would
be made by the United States
delegation looking toward a new
solution.
"The Jewish Agency has re-
peatedly been under the necessity
of stating that the partition plan
represented maximum sacrifice
on the part of the Jewish people
beyond which it cannot go. Any
proposals calling for further sacr1-
fices will have to be imposed upon
the Jewish community of Pales-
tine by force"
He added that he hoped to be
able to comment at a later Op-
pOrtunity upon the legal impIi-
cations of Austin's statement. He
told the Council that the Manda-
tory Power had never been able
to confirm the arrival in PaIes-
tine of armed immigrants by sea.

WASHINGTON-

March is a midway month. 1t
swings between the balmy and the
blustery, in news as well as
weather.
An attempt to inject new spirit
into congressional action on dis
placed persons is in the making
with a new bill. Representatives
James G. Fulton of Pennsylvania
and Jacob K. Javits of New York,
both Republicans, sponsor the
measure (Which may be introduced
in the House of Representatives by
the time this column appears.)
The Stratton Bill. for all practical
purposes is dead. It provided for
the admission of 100000 displaced
persons to the United States over
a four-year period. The new bill
will strive for the same detectives,
but will try to set up what its
sponsors feel is a more workable
system of priorities and of carry
ing out the proposed legislation.
Because of the extensive hear
ings on the Stratton Bill, it is not
thought likely that new hearings
win be necessary, except possibly
one public and several executive
sessions.
Official radio reports here now
include Haganah broadcasts. For
several weeks "Haganah Radio,
Clandestine" has been monitored,
as have other Near and Middle
Eastern transmitters for long
time past; and English abstracts
published of the Haganah trans
missions in Hebrew and Arabic to
the Near East.
One broadcast announced that
the price of gold increased As per-
cent in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem
after the British decision to separ-
ate the Palestine pound from the
sterling bloc; that there is a great
demand for gold, and that "the
Jews are expected to issue a spe-
cial currency soOn."
A more recent broadcast re-
Vealed, at some length, a reported
plot by the ex-Mufti against
Fawzi al-Kawukji, now leading
the organized Arab forces which
nave invaded Palestine. Trans
mtting in Arabic, the Haganah
Naolo says that Husseini charges
tnat al-Kawukji worked for the
brush during the war and be-
'rdyed Arabs and their German
"ilies to the British. The charges
are made in pamphlet said by
the Haganah Radio to have been
released from the Grand Mufti's
Oillce in Berlin. The pamphlet,
according to Haganah, was acquir-
Gu IN Berlin and demonstrates the
iactlonal strife among the Arabs,
april 18th will be the third an
