IMMEDIATE RELEASE
JULY 23, 1946
STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT
I have learned with deep regret of the destruction
by a bomb of the building in Palestine in which were located
the Palestine Government and the British Military Headquarters,
resulting in the killing of approximately fifty men and women,
soldiers and civilians. Every responsible Jewish leader, I am
sure, will join me in condemning the wanton slaying of human
beings.
At this time representatives of the United States
Government are in London conferring with representatives of the
British Government as to steps to be taken to implement the
Report of the Palestine Committee which recommended, among
other things, the immigration of 100,000 Jews into Palestine.
Such acts of terrorism will not advance, but on the
contrary might well retard, the efforts that are being made,
and will continue to be made, to bring about a peaceful solution
of this difficult problem.
