Britain Says U S Reneges On Palestine Plan
London reports authoritative British sources saying the United States will not participate in the plan to divide Palestine as recommended by a joint British American cabinet committee. Truman’s letter cited a need for American public support, delaying the 100,000 Jewish admission and leaving Britain to act alone. The president offered suggestions to help but withheld the text. Byrnes urged Paris talks with Connally and Vandenberg, defending US positions while noting unsettled Soviet issues and calling for durable peace and fair economic arrangements.
