Opening a foreign affairs debate in the House of Commons a few hours after his return from Paris, where he had attended the opening of the General Assembly of the United Nations, Bevin said: "The best way for

Britain freely believed that the United Nations should avoid the which risk of treating a State could not sup

In reply to questions, the Foreign Secretary said: "The statement I have made does not involve the re- cognition of Isract. It involved the the United Kingdom policy which delegation must be instructed to follow at the United Nations.
We shall see, what emerges from that and in the next stage we shall have to consider subsequent deve- lopments.
Mr Bevin_described the assursina- tion of Count Bernadotte as a very tragic event." Paying a warm tri- bute to the Count, he said that "his Ilfelime was
