—Rcc. 9.30 p.m.)
WASHIN GTON, Jan. 19. The sug-gestion that the I nited States should take the i ;.'tiative in calling talks'on tlie falestine problem has been made in a report to President Vpuman. The report is xnade by Oe former Congresssman, Mr. Joseph Baldwin, who recently • 'sited Britain and Palestine. He says that Palestine should vventually becc-me an independent oemocracy in which would be includetl the homeless Jews in Europe. Another suggestion is that the British troops in Palestine should be re})iaced by an international force of the United Nations. An international commission should also be sent there 1 - supervise a constitutional congress and subsequent eleetions. At a Washington press conference, Mr. Baldwin revealed that American sources had spent £9,500,000 to help Jewish illegal immigration into Palestine. A British correspondent quotes Mr. Baldwin as saying that he knew this figure to be accurate though j none of the money had been spent by his own organisation, the Political Action Committee for Palestine.
