Documents Reveal Britain's AJC Booklet
'49 Attitudes on 'Palestine' on Private Club
By MAURICE
SAMUELSON
LONDON (JTA) —
Echoes of Britain's dis-
agreement with the United
States over the Palestine
problem 30 years ago were
sounded last week with the
release of the British
Cabinet papers of 1949.
They recalled that Ernest
Bevin, the Foreign Secre-
tary, complained to the
Cabinet about "the instabil-
ity" and "vacillation" of
American policy in the
Middle East.
For example, President
Truman had promised sup-
port for a United Nations
resolution backing the in-
ternationalization of
Jerusalem, yet shortly af-
terwards, the U.S. State
Department seemed to be
offering different proposals,
particularly with regard to
Trans-Jordan.
In the debate, Aneurin
Bevan, the Health Minister,
challenged the basis of
Britain's whole approach to
the region. He doubted if
Britain's position could be
maintained through the
support of "unstable and
reactionary" Arab govern-
ments. Instead he wanted
Britain to befriend the Jews
who would give her all the
facilities nepded to estab-
lish strong military bases in
Palestine.
