Memorandum by the Acting Secretary of State to the Adviser on Political Relations (Murray)
[Washington,] October 23, 1943.
Mr. Murray: I have read with interest your memorandum of October 15 relative to the President’s idea that possibly Palestine should be handled on a trusteeship basis. He also mentioned that to me once briefly in conversation. I am inclined to think that detailed consideration of this should await the Secretary’s return, but in the meantime I shall, if I have an opportunity, attempt to get from the President more background on his thinking on this.
