PEACE PLAN

Warning

To Arabs

►

Paris, Nov. 25.—A mission of

Nations

Israel to the United was urged on Thursday by thei Acting Palestine mediator, Mr Ralph Bunche,

He assailed as "a contemptible slander of a dead man" tho allegation by Slav bloc delegates that American and British re- presentatives secretly wrote the Hection of the Bernadotte report suggesting the Negev Desert in the south go to the Arabs.

Dr Bunche also warned that the Arats must "accept responsibility for prolonging" the Palestine din pute by refusing to negotiate with Israel Erypt, Lebanon and Trans- Jordan, however, once again gave notice that they would not negotiate directly with the Jews.

Dr Bunche put ፈ። seven-point peace plan before the 5B-nation UN Political Committee of the Assembly. He acted after Russia s Semeon K. Tsarapkin formally suli- - mitted a resolution which observers. intenler tn rain apparently way force all UN truce observers, as well as all Arab armiles, to withdraw from the Holy Land.

SOVIET RECOMMENDATION

M. Tarapkin said the Soviet "recommends the immediate with- drawal of all foreign troops and foreign military personnel from fer- ritory of the Jewish

Arab and states in Palestine whose establish- ment is provided by the decision vi the General Assembly" a year ago. He said this would be à stop to prevent resumption of military operations in Palestine.

Asked if the resolution would oblige forelga UN truce observers to leave, M. Tsarapkin Bald "our: resolution is quite clear."

THE SEVEN POINTS

Eire

Will Not Be Regarded As A Foreign Country

BRITISH GOVERNMENT'S ATTITUDE

London, Nov. 25.--Britain would not regard Eire as a foreign country after her repeal of the External Relations Act which has hitherto bound her to the British Crown, Mr Clement Attlee, the Prime Minister, told Parliament today.

He said Eire citizens would not be regarded as foreigners. The Eire Government had stated that it in- tended to bring its legislation into line with that in the Commonwealth countries so as to establish by statute that in Eire the citizens of the Commonwealth countries would receive comparable treatment.

Labour Party

Has Its Eyes On The

1950 Elections

CAMPAIGNING MACHINERY

TO BE OVERHAULED

London, Nov. 25-Plans to strengthen the Labour Party campaigning machine in preparation for the next general election are being developed by the National Executive Committee of the Party.

The plans are understood to be based on the expectation of a general election in June, 1950. It is believed that the new efforts have been made more active by the result of the recent Parliamentary bye- election at Edmonton, London, where the Govern- ment's majority fell by over 15,000 votes. The result has seriously perturbed many members of the Party.

The Deputy Prime Minister, Mrtions for the party's "second five- Herbert Morrison, the Government year plan" leader in the House of Commons and The Labour Party's Annual Con- generally acknowledged as the "party forence, which will be, held next boss." has spoken plainly to the May, is the final arbiter of polley, Party hierarchy on the task before and the programme on which the Labour If it is to gain a new victory Party will ght the next general in 1950.

These are intended to focus the political issues for the electors in anticipation of municipal elections which are to be held next April ond May.
