My dear President Truman:
HENRY COHEN
ALBERT SPRAGUE COOLIDGE
W. T. COUCH
I send you enclosed a Memorandum submitted today to the United

Nations. If, as we hope, you can find an opportunity to read
THOMAS H. ELIOT
IRVING M. ENGEL
this document, I am certain that you will share our sense of
MRS. IRVING S. FLORSHEIM
shock that the United Nations should be used as a forum for
LEWIS GANNETT
the avowed allies of the Axis.
J. W. GITT
JOSEPH F. GUFFEY
LILLIAN HELLMAN
Most distressing is your own silence on this question. This is
SIDNEY HOLLANDER
FREDERICK ERNEST JOHNSON
reflected in the attitude of the American delegation throughout
SYLVAN L. JOSEPH
J. M. KAPLAN
the present deliberations, which is giving the impression of
JOHN FREDERICK LEWIS, JR.
seeking to appease these survivors of the Axis.
JOHN P. LEWIS
WALTER C. LOWDERMILK
THOMAS MANN
I am sorry to have to say to you that the special status now
FRANCIS J, McCONNELL
accorded to the Arab Higher Committee is due in large part to
JAMES H. McGILL
PHILIP MURRAY
the efforts of the American and the British delegations.
REINHOLD NIEBUHR
EUGENE O'NEILL
BORIS PREGEL
There is still time, but not much, to retrieve the situation.
T. EDWIN QUISENBERRY
We urge again that you reaffirm the traditional policy of this

country, which becomes a matter of the highest importance.
