Dear Mr. Slonim:
I read with a great deal of interest your letter of the
twenty-sixth of February.
One of our principal difficulties in getting the Palestine
#
matter settled in the manner set out in the American
x204-13
British Commission on Palestine, and in the manner
suggested by the United Nations Commission on the same x 85-BB
subject, has been that there are so many people in this
country who know more about how the situation can be
handled than do those in authority. It has made the situa-
tion exceedingly difficult and is not contributing in any
manner to its solution,
Of course, I appreciate the emotional feeling of you and
your friends in regard to this continuing Palestine problem
76-le
and I am more than happy to have your viewpoint on the
subject. However, the matter is now in the hands of the
85
United Nations and the United States is making every effort
to maintain the position of the United Nations Commission,
So much loybying and outside interference has been going
on in this question that it is almost impossible to get a fair
minded approach to the subject.
Thanks very much for your
communications
