REPUBLICANS ADOPT STRONG ISRAEL PLATFORM URGED BY NATIONALISTS
PIIILADKLPHIA (JTA).—A dispute in the Resolution.^ Com¬ mittee of tlie Republican Niilionol Convention this week resulted in a strongly-worded statement on Israel, baci<ed by the "nation¬ alist" wing of the party, which was substitutefi for the "interna¬ tionalists'" cautious and cool version. The text of tho Palestine plank, as  finally a<lopted, reads:
''Wo welcome Israel inlo the family of nations and take pride in tlie fact that the Kepublican Party was tho first to call for the establishment of a free and Independent Jewish Commonwealth. The vacillatJon of the Dcmocni.tic Administration on this question has undermined the prestige of the United Nations. Subject to the letter and spirit of the United Nations Cliarter, we pledge Io Israel, fuU recognition, with Its boundaries as sanctioned by the' United Nations, and aid ia developing its economy."

Pence TalJi.-i: Thero are mily about ()() .lewish residents on the l.slami of Rhodes where Ihe U..\'. mediator, Coimt Hcrnaflotto, is now trying to bring the .Jews and the Arabs together for neacG talks. \Vhlle the U.N. mediator Is woi'king openly to hrlng ahout Arab-.lewish understand¬ ing, a great deal is going on benind the .scenes between Lon¬ don and Washington . . . And at 'Lake Success the general feeling exii.sls that the .succe.ss or faiL ure of Bernadotte's missions for achieving a real armistice de¬ pends on firm Anglo-Arnerican action. Only such action. United Nations officials believe, can Viring about a compromise snlvi- tlon for Pale.'itlhc and extend peace Iridefinltely after the cea.se- fire period . . . The opinion among most of the United Na¬ tions delegates is that such a compromi.se wOuld first of all •have to provide for the contin¬ ued existence of a sovereign Israeli state, despite the stub¬ born objections of the Arabs to recognize such a state. On the other hand, the .same United Na¬ tions delegates expect that, vni- der Washington pressure, Israel will agree to some reduction of the area given to the Jewish state undec the U.N. partition decision ... It is with regard to this "reduction" In territory that wires are being pulled both by Washington and London on the Initiative of the British For¬ eign Office . . . American Zlon ist leadei's are now on guard, mobilizing all possible forces to counteract any effort on the part of the State Department to sup¬ port British manipulations for a revision of the Israeli frontiers.
