2 - If we do not line up our following
before we do the things, rather than
trusting to influencing them afterwards.
I can not imagine that major considerations on policies such
as this are taken at such short notice that there is not time to
think through every consequence and inform all those who should
be informed.
I have seldom seen a more bitter, puzzled, discouraged group
of people than some of those whom I saw on Saturday. Some of them
I know are favorable to the rights of the Jews in Palestine, but they
are just nonplused by the way in which we do things.
I thought I had to tell you this because I had written you before
and as you know, I believe that it is the Administration's desire to
strengthen the United Nations, but we do not always achieve it
because, apparently, there is a lack of contact on the higher levels.
With deep concern, I am,
Very sincerely yours,
(Signed) ELEANOR ROOSEVELT
