THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON November 24, 1945 Dear Joe: I appreciated your letter of the nineteenth and the quotation from the Palestine Histadruth Committee of Minneapolis. I told the Jews that if they were willing to furnish me with five hundred thousand men to carry on a war with the Arabs, we could do what they are suggesting in the Resolution - otherwise we will have to negotiate awhile It is a very explosive situation we are facing and naturally I regret it very much but I don't think that you, or any of the other Senators, would be inclined to send half dozen Divisions to Palestine to maintain a Jewish State. What I am trying to db is to make the whole world safe for the Jews Therefore, I don't feel like Signature war for Ralestine Sincerely yours, Honorable Joseph H. Ball United States Senate Washington, D. C.
