THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
August 23, 1947
yy
My dear Mrs. Roosevelt:
I read your telegram with regard to the Jews
with a lot of interest. This situation is a most
embarrassing one all the way around and has
been most difficult to approach. I hope it will
work out.
I understand that these ships were loaded and
started to Palestine with American funds and
American backing - they were loaded knowing
that they were trying to do an illegal act.
The action of some of our United States Zionists
will eventually prejudice everyone against what
they are trying to get done. I fear very much
that the Jews are like all under dogs - when they
get on top they are just as intolerant and as cruel
as the people were to them when they were under-
neath. I regret this situation very much because
my sympathy has always been their
on side.
Sincepely yours,
Mrs. Franklin D.
