Careful review hes been arde of draft statement on United Nations
responsibility for Palestine es of May 15, 1948 and of your 242, March 4.
It in our opinion that the essential factor in Security Council's
consideration of Palestine problem is whether or not Council will accept
plan of partition with economic union recommended by General issembly last
Nov. 29. This question is posed specifically to Council in Fax. 1 of us
Rea. of Feb. 25. You again laid stress on this essential question in your
remarks to Council on March 2.
Re had thought it preferable to bring this issue to sharp focue in
the vote today on US Bec. of Feb. 25 and Belgian amendment seeking to delete
Farm. 1 of that res. dated Feb. 27.
Honever, following telephone conversations with USUN we defer to your
judgment that it is escential for Council's conciliatory machinery to be used
before final decision is taken. lie shall be guided by your opinion that
issue will mature more naturally in a week or ten days' time and that the
concilintory machinery of the Council will result in showing beyond any doubt
whatsoever
