Tension Eases Over Bernadotte Proposal
By WILLIAM ZUKERMAN
(Jewish World News Service)
THE ISRAELI diplomatic and political position has
improved considerably during the week.
The first wave of hostility started with the as--
saSSination of Count Bernadotte, has begun to recede
this week, and a healthier and more rational attitude
is beginning to assert itself both in the United States
and in Europe.
In the United States, official and semi-official pub-
lic opinion has begun to veer from the proposal.

THE HERALD TRIBUNE which a week ago de-
scribed the Bernadotte recommendation to deprive
the Jewish State of the Negev as a fair compromise,
has been obliged under pressure of a flood of protests
from its readers, to retreat from its earlier position.
In an editorial this week, the newspaper said
that the acceptance of the Bernadotte plan "is not the
same thing as the indorsement of every suggestion
contained therein and certainly does not mean under-
writing specific boundaries".
The plan, according to the Herald Tribune, is to
serve only as a basis for negotiations.
MORE OUTSPOKEN was the change in the edi-
torial attitude of the N.Y. Times.
"The Israeli government has protested", the Times
editorial stated, "and we believe rightly against the
part of Bernadotte's proposals which would give the
Negev to the Arabs. It is no reflection on the mar-
tyred Bernadotte's memory to say that he erred in
suggesting this division which dashes some of Is-
rael's highest hopes.
"Secretary Marshall urged the General Assembly
to accept the proposals in their entirety. We believe
this is one of those times when a bit of inconsistency
will do our foreign policy no harm.

THE CAUTIOUS, indecisive Times which seldom
says a straight "Yes" or "No" on a subject, could
not be more outspoken than e n this . occasion, and this
doubtless is a sign that the average fair-minded
American has turned in the direction of Israel on
this subject.
— In Paris, too, Mr. Marshall is reported to have
told Moshe Shertok at their first conference that the
United States considered the Bernadotte plan as a
basis for negotiation, not as a proposal which has
to be•accepted or rejected in its entirety.

THIS IS QUITE different from the earlier position
which reported Marshall fully agreeing with Bevin
that the amputation of the Negev was practically the
