THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
April 12, 1945
Your Highness:
I
have received the letter which you sent me under
date of March 10 and in which you outline the attitude
of the Arabs toward the question of Palestine.
I take this opportunity to express to you my
appreciation for this statement of the Arab position,
which I have read with the greatest interest. I know
of the deep concern wi th which the Arab world is follow-
ing developments relating to Palestine and I desire, in
this connection, to renew to you the assurances which
have been previously communicated to the Iraqi Government
to the effect that in the view of the Government of the
United States no decision affecting the basic si tuation
in Palestine should be reached wi thout full consultation
with both Arabs and Jews.
I am looking forward to meeting Your Highness on
the occasion of your forthcoming visit to the United
States and, in the meantime, I send you my warmest greet-
ings and my best wishes for the continued well-being of
the people of Irag.
Sincerely yours,
SERVICE'*
For
FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT
His Royal Highness
Prince Abdul Ilah,
Regent and Heir Apparent
to the Throne of Iraq,
Baghdad.
