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.
