Palestine Problem To POCKET CARTOON Come Before United

Nations On Monday

London, Apr. 25..

History will be made by the special session of the United Nations General Assembly, which meets next Monday at Lake Success to debate the Palestine problem, writes Reuter's diplomatic correspondent. Though summoned by Britain for the limited purpose

of setting up further fact-finding committee to prepare for the normal autumn session of the Assembly, this con- ference is expected for the first time to throw light on the attitude of the Soviet Union to this most explosive pro- blem of the Middle East.

It is also expected to mark the first occasion on which Im- portance of the Assembly will surpass that of the Security United Nations. Council in the history of the

Another and even more important sense in which the special Assembly meeting should make history is the light which it is expected to shed on the attitude of the Soviet Union, which, normally and of the states follove its lend- in world affairs, to the Palestine problem.
