What Snyder Faced
United Press says United States Secretary of Treasury, Mr. John Snyder, discossed the European economic crisis with Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin
yesterday against the background of Britain's first announced sale
of her reserve gold to the United States since the war.
Emerging smiling from the Foreign Office after a 25- minute talk with Mr. Bevin, Mr. Snyder said only "I just listened. We talked about Europe's economic situation.'"
· Mr. Snyder said neither he nor Mr. Bevin mentioned the Foreign Secretary's proposal made at Southport for re- distribution of the Fort Knox gold,

OF PALESTINE
London, Sept. 15.
British official opinion is strongly moving towards the view that Britain ought to evacuate Pales- tine at the earliest possible opportunity, usually well-informed quarters said today.
A decision on the Government's Palestine policy, in preparation for the forthcoming debate in the United Nations General Assembly, is re- liably expected to be taken at the Cabinet meeting next Thursday. There is reason to believe that examination of the problem in the last few days has contred on the technicalities of withdrawni
and the period in which such
withdrawal could be effected.
If Britain decides to move out of Palestine, it would be for three main reasona:
