United Kingdom to Abstain from Voting on Palestine Question
British Secretary of State for the Colonies, Arthur Creech-Jones, left, talks with a member of the Executive of the Jewish Agency for Palestine [possibly Dr. Nahum Goldmann], before the opening of the United Nations Security Council debate on Palestine.
Mr. Creech-Jones told the Council that while his Government strove to meet the wishes of the Palestine Commission, British public opinion would not permit further entanglement in a policy which one or the other of the parties in Palestine is determined to resist.
