IMMEDIATE RELEASE
JUNE 5, 1947
STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT
The General Assembly of the United Nations in special
session on May 15, 1947, unanimously adopted the following
resolution:
"The General Assembly calls upon all governments
and peoples, and particularly on the inhabitants of
Palestine, to refrain, pending action by the General
Assembly on the report of the Special Committee on
Palestine, from the threat or use of force or any other
action which might create an atmosphere prejudicial to
in early settlement of the question of Palestine. If
The search for a fair and workable solution of the
Palestine problem is one of the most difficult and important
tasks confronting the United Nations. It is in the interest
of
the United States as well as of the United Nations that the
efforts of the United Nations to solve this problem meet with
success. Activities calculated further to inflame the passions
of the inhabitants of Palestine, to undermine law and order in
Palestine, or to promote violence in that country are certain
to create an atmosphere prejudicial to an early settlement of
the Pelestine problem and to render still more difficult the
tasks which the United Nations has before it.
I therefore urge every citizen and resident of the
United States, in the interests of this country, of world peace,
and of humanity, meticulously to refrain, while the United Nations
is considering the problem of Palestine, from engaging in, or
facilitating, any activities which tend further to inflame the
passions of the inhabitants of Palestine, to undermine law and
order in Palestine, or to promote violence in that country.
