SCU Mr Creech Jones. GV Creech Jones addressing says British public opinion will permit no more expenditure of life and treasure it will acquiesce no longer in the use of British forces and squandering of British lives to impose a police in Palestine which one or other parties is determined to resist. We have already used force enough in Palestine in the interest of our international obligations. It has brought to my Government infinite anxiety and the execration of the Jews and the bitter resentment of the Arabs. It has made us the butt of malicious criticism throughout the world. We have played our part to the limit of our resources.
