LONDON. Jan. l8 - (CF) ~ A peaceful settlement of the dispute over Palestine between Israel and her Arab neighbors is "the main oblelrl" o! the British Govern- ment. Foreign secretary Bevin said today.

Britain has "no obligations or intention to engage in any of- fensive or aggressive action" in the Middle East fighting over tile Holy Land, he said in the House of Commons.

Government and Opposition leaders, speaking in a packed house. agreed that discussions of Palestine. and Middle East issues ‘should be left to next week. Bevin said a full-scale debate now might ‘ endanger the success of the Jew- (sh-Egyptian peace talks on the Island of Rhodes.

A small Liberal group of ii members pressed for immediate tiiscusslon but lost their argument

As parliament met. for the first IIIIIBISIIICC five RAF. planes were shot. dolvll by Israeli forces Jan. 7 while on reconnaissance near the Palestine-Egyptian border. Op- position leader Winston Churchill asked fo: a statement of “policy or facts” from the government.

Delicate Negotiations

Bevin said delicate negotiations | were under way at Rhodes between

Jewish nzld Egyptian represenza- tlves anti “there also are discus- slnns EOLIIQ on with other con-

rlving as o. complete armistice be- tween Jews and Arabs.

"The reports we are receiving indicate that good progress is be- ing made and we are particularly eager to contribute to the success of these talks by every possible

Archbisilp To Act As Negotiator

MONTREAL. Jan. l8 - (C?) -‘ More than 2.000 Catholic school teachers voted unanimously to- night to accept a proposal where- by Archbishop Josepil Charbonrlcau of Montreal will act as negotiator between the striking teachers and the Montreal Catholic School Com- mission.

The teachers held n stormy session after Leo Guindon. presi- dent of the L‘Aliiance des Pro- lesseurs Catholiques dc Montreal which called the strike. announced the offer made‘ by Msgr. Char- bonneau.

He proposed that the teachers give him authority to negotiate with the commission and in turn would “strive to meet the fulisde- mands of the striking body."

Before the proposal vote was taken. a number of teachers de- mallded that the Archbishop's offer be put in writing, but this was later withdrawn.

Immediately after the vote was announced by Mr. Guindon. the teachers went into discussion in an effort to decide whether to re- turn to work.

Eugene Simard. president of the commission. told the teachers Sun- day that they would be automatic- ally suspended if they chose to strike and not allow their wage increase demands to be arbitrated.

A spokesman for the striking teachers said that "it was possible that. the strike would end tonight."

Archbishop Charbollneau told Mr. Cuindon that he would "strive to obtain an entire satisfaction of the ‘teachers’ 1948-49 demands." | Gulndon said that if the teach- iers vote in favor of allowing the lCat-hoiic Church to negotiate for them it will mean an immediate end to the strike. now in "its second day.

Earlier today the teachers stood

means."

The best contribution at the moment would be to postpone the discussion

Bevin then announced Britain in the meantime is preparing to permit the departure from

Cyprus of Jewish immigrants of military age who have been de- tained there.

Bamet Jenner. a Labor member. asked Bevin to promise tihat no more troops would be sent: to the 'M1ddle East in a "way "which would appear to encourage an nt- titude toward Israel which is not the correct one." He also asked whether Bevin would support ne- gotiation of the Arab-Jewish dis- pute.
