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.

In a booklet published by the American Jewish Committee, "Can We Tolerate Private Club Dis- crimination?" Samuel Rabinove, Director of the AJC's Discrimination Di- vision, noted that private clubs often maintain that on the basis of freedom of asso- ciation, they may be as "ar- bitrary or capricious or prejudiced as they wish."
