New Plan For Palestine Suggested To Britain

FEDERALISATION INTO ARAB, JEWISH AND BRITISH ̈ GOVT AREAS

Jerusalem, Dec. 2.

The usually reliable and well-informed Hebrew Socialist newspaper Mishmar of Telaviv yesterday published what it said was a new Palestine plan suggested by the Palestine Government to the British government.

The plan was put forward, said Mishmar, as a sugges- ted basis for future Anglo-Arab, and Anglo-Jewish dis- cussions to achieve at least a femporary solution to the Palestine problem.

Mishmar.saki that the main points. of the plan include 1, the British mandate to run another 15 years with new discussions thereafter; immigration of 100,000 Jews to be permitted within the next 18 months; 3, Palestine to be "federalised" administratively into Arab, Jewish and British. Government areas, the latter including places of special
