The five powers signed a 50-year defence, economic, social and cultural treaty. At the year‘s end negotiations were under way for The United Nations sought un- successfully to settle the future of the Holy Land. The best it could do was to achieve a partially effective truce. The partition plan of 1947 remained in abeyance. The UN. Palestine mediator, Count Folke Bernadette, was assassinated in Jerusalem in September. Start. of E.R.P. The United States Congress in Ap- hil started the European Recovery Program by authorizing $5,300,000,- 00‘0 for Europe for the following 15 month period and additional aid to China, Greece and Turkey. Supplies began streaming into western Eur- ope. But Commonwealth joy in that event was tempered by the almost simul- taneous announcement that King George is suffering from poor blood circulation in the legs.

Despite strenuous Russian obijections the problem was laid before the United Nations; but it failed to solve the crisis. Pretext for the Communist coup in. Czechoslovakia in February was an alleged antLCommunist plot to overthrow the coalition government. Edward Benes, who opposed but was unable to halt the Communist seiz- ure of power, resigned as president June 7 and died three months later. Klement Gottwald, Communist pl‘e- mier since the coup, succeeded him The only rift in the solid Soviet front in eastern Europe was a verbal conflict between Yugoslavia and Rus- sia which put the Tito administration into the doghouse of the Communist International Information Bureau. The dispute apparently revolved around Tito’s determination on indeâ€" pendent handling of Yugoslav inter- nal affairs. YugOSlavia, however, continued to proclaim solidarity with Communist ideology. Jews and Arabs fought intermit- tently through the year for control of Palestine. The Arab League de- clared war on the Jewish “rebels” immediately British yielded her man- date May 14 and the new state of Israel ‘was proclaimed. , The Jews in Palestine proclaimed the new state of Israel‘as Britain’s Holy Land mandate expired.

Aid began pouring int: western European countries and the western occupation zones in Germany under the European Recovery Pro- gram. The Communists seized power by a coup in Czechoslovakia.
