RAPS INJUSTICE IN PALESTINE

Dr. Wise Sees Challenge to All Western Powers.

By GWEN MORGAN United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Jan.. 8. — Dr. Stephen 8. Wise. noted Zionist leader, declared today that the “broken promises” for a Jewish home in Palestine were “perhaps the most flagrant illustration of injustice in our world today.” Wise was especially critical of -Britain's-record, as he testified before the 12-man Anglo-American committee studying the entire question of Jewish immigration into the Holy Land.” But he said it was a challenge to all western powers to end the “cynical disregard” of their declarations. The Zionist leader referred to the British Balfour declaration of 1917 calling for establishment of a national Jewish home in Palestine and noted that it had been approved by such world leaders as Woodrow Wilson and Justice Louis D. Brandeis. Test of Morality “The question of keeping a sacred promise to the most sorely-perse-cuted peoples of the world”. he said, “is a test of morality and ethics of our Western civilization and of the faith and decency of people of all religions.” A statement by the American Zionist council charged that the Balfour declaration had actually been repudiated by the British in their white paper of 1939. The paper called for limited Jewish immigration into the Holy Land for a five-year period, now expired. The basic purpose of the white paper, the council said, was to keep the Jews “a prominent minority in Palestine, making their development wholly subject to Ardb consent.” “The white paper thus crushes the Jewish hope to a national home in any genuine sense of the term and the hopes of hundreds of thousands of Jews in Europe and elsewhere for security. “Inhuman Document” “The white paper is not only a betrayal. of a sacred British pledge and a violation of basic international law, but a most inhuman document.” Robert. Nathan, former deputy director of war mobilization and reconversion, late yesterday told the committee that Palestine could absorbs 100,000 Jews immediately. He criticized British administration for “constant procrastination.” Nathan recently completed an economic survey of Palestine. He outlined before the committee a 10-year plan under which, he said, Jewish immigration could be increased by a minimum of 615,000 to & maximum of 1125000 within 10 years without disturbing the economy-—providing the government played a “positive and imaginative” role in Palestine’s development.

CALLS ON- KING TO JUSTIFY STARK RAP

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8 (U, P.).— Senator Owen Brewster (R. Me.) proposed today that Adm. Ernest J. King be asked to justify his eriticism of Adm. Harold R. Stark for the Pearl Harbor disaster. King succeeded Stark as chief of naval operations in March, 1042, three months after the Japanese attack. Stark went to London as commander of U. 8, naval forces in Europe where he served under King until August, 1945. - In the interim King recommended, and Secretary of the Navy James V. Forrestal agreed, that Stark never again should hold a position in the navy which requires superior judgment, Stark told the Pearl Harbor committee last week he learned of the action after he had left London carrying citations from Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower and several allied governments for his part in the European invasion,

mittee, of which he is a member, would be interested in hearing King and Forrestal justify their decisions.
