Truman and Palestine

Editorial in N. Y. Post, August 1, 1946

The President's summons to his Cabinet committee, now in
London, to return home for "ftirther discussions" indicates, at least
for the present, that Mr. Truman disassociates the United States
from Britain's abominable partition plan for Palestine.
This good news is doubly reassuring, for it comes on the heels
of as disquieting a display of Presidential brusqueness and petul-
ance as the nation has seen in a long time.
According to reliable stories, the Chief Executive on Tuesday
told a group of nine New York Congressmen that he didn't have time
to listen to talk about Palestine. After more of the same, the
delegation was abruptly ushered to the door. The -incident was
unpleasant and completely unjustified.
For we would remind the President that in protesting the parti-
tion "solution" the nine Congressmen took up a position that differs
not ont whit from the stand he himself enunciated last April
when the Anglo-American Inquiry Commission report was released.
At that time Mr. Truman declared he was pleased "that the
request I made for the immediate admission of 100,000 Jews into
Palestine has been unanimously endorsed . ." He added "I am
also pleased that the Committee recommends in effect the abroga-
tion of the White Paper of 1939, including existing restrictions on
immigration and land acquisition . . •"
The British partition proposal is anything but a plan for the
"immediate admission" of the 100,000. Not one of the pitiful hand-
ful would be admitted until Britain had succeeded in gaining
acquiescence to all of her imperialist objectives in the Holy Land.
As for the "restrictions on immigration and land acquisition,"
the partition scheme, far from abrogating them, represents instead
an attempt to codify these ghetto provisions into permanent law,
with America's blessing.
Unless President Truman has abandoned his position of last April
which is unthinkable, he should have thanked the nine Congressmen
for their support and directed his wrath against the originators of
the partition plan and their State Department supporters in the
U. S. This group goes from one delaying tactic to another in a
constant effort to frustrate the just settlement that Mr. Truman, in
common with most Americans, desires.
The recall of the Cabinet committee must now be followed by
a definite U. S. counter-proposal that rejects colonial status for
a ghetto-ized Palestine and insists instead upon a solution that
is fair, workable and therefore lasting.
The problem that roused Mr. Truman to unwarranted, ill-
concealed anger the other day will never be laid to rest so long
as the U. S. continues to, allow British imperial interests to call
the tune on the Palestine settlement.
