Hongkong. 8th May, 1948.
Flushing Meadows, May 6, United Nations was told today by New Zealand that o noutral commissioner for Jerusalam, as proposed by Britain, would be “a man of straw.” Carl Berendsen, the New Zealand delegate, said it was a "fallacy" that action by the United Na- tions must wait until agreement was reached by the Arabs and Jews.
The General Assembly was considering in plenary session the report of the. Trusteeship Council on its efforts to ensure the safety of Jerusalem.
The Council had approved the British- proposal for the appoint rent of a neutral fend for the city's municipal commission when the mandate ends on May 15.
Bir Cari criticised the Coun CH's report for Ita "complete Inadequacy" and the "meagre- ness" of the results achieved. There was no major proposal, be sald.
