U^S. Inact-ion on Polestjne Decried Sumner Welles
NEW YORK (WNS)—American inaction oh the Palestine issue and its failure to initiate any measures within the Uijited Nations to guard agaihst Arab aggression in the Koly Land was decried here this week by Sumner Welles, who asseiied that if the United States persists in piirsuing this noncom-mital stand "it will be preparing the way for the failiure" of the international prganization.
In an article in the New, York Herald Tribune, Mr. Welles declared that the League' of Nations collapsed because the ma-jor' ■ powerS'^^, s^ the League "ohiy when it suitied their; own ends.''^^ sanie trend, he'Said; is evideht today. If theiUhitedf Nations is to succeed, he emphasized; the great powers;- including^ the *^'Unit6d States; - must support that body "riot only w^ it is convenient arid ieia^, but jquite as much so whien such support - implies effort, sacrifice and 'risk;"
Pale^irie, Mi*'. Welles asserted, is a-test fcafee: The XJ.N-^ decision^ "to' "piartition the country into Jewish arid Arab states was made after full investigation and ^debate. - Because: of inade-<iua'ti&;!U',N.^ enforce its
decision;^ the Arabs have underr taken a'campaign of aggression, flafgrantly violating the U.N. Charter • and defying the Uriited Nations itself. Yet, ble^'charged, the American Government; has failed to insist that the Uriited Nations be enabled to enforce its decision and Vprotect life and property in Palestine" during the Uiteriiri' period. \ The Uriited ^^S!Sfef^r^5'riWi¥d^ irig: the last ■ twp.^ m^ renounced every semblance of lea^^i^hip'* in implemeriting a' dedisiori for Which it was "in a great part responsible." And the failure of the U.S. to adopt a coUiragebus policy on Palesr tine has;/increased the: reluctance of the iriialier couritries to assuriife" responsibility for the cari^r^irig"but. Of the U^N. deci-sibriy,'' Mr;" - Welles pointed out, addinjg^ that shbu^ the U.Ni re-rii£un^'fib>ii^erleiss to decisiori "the one hope human-, ity tbiiay possesses for the rule: bf ? law rather than the rule of fOrce^-'W and for the establishi-merit. of^- a peaceful world" will vanish with the failure of the United Nations.

Democrats Cqutioii Pres. Truman On Palestine
WASHINGTON. — (WNS) A number of influential Ney/ York Democrats have warned President Truman that unless he takes immediate and forceful action on the Palestine question he will lose New York State in the November election.
These Democratic leaders are said to have sounded the warning in the course of the Jefferson-Jackson Day Dinner. They also are said to have couriselled immediate lifting by the Adriiin-istration of the embargo ori arms to Palestine and forceful action by the U.S. representative on the Security Council when it considers, the question of establishing an international force to implement the partition decision.
Mr. Truman, on good authority, was also advised to deal promptly with the elements in the State Department bent on thwarting the partition decision. One of the Democratic leaders was said to have advised the President to remove Loy Henderson as Head of the Near Eastern and African Affairs division. Henderson is considered to spearhead the movement for a reversal of policy on partition. It is believed that Ed-■vfrard J. Flynn, New. York National Committeeman who was" charged v/ith the major blame' for the election of a Wallace-backed candidate for the Congress in a Democratic stronghold, has recommended to' the President that - he take strorig action on the Palestine issue.
