Memorandum by the Acting Secretary of State to the Assistant Secretary of State (Berle)
[Washington,] October 23, 1943.
Dr. Berle: I agree with your suggestion that detailed consideration of the President’s thought of possibly handling Palestine on a trusteeship basis should await the Secretary’s return. The President also mentioned this idea to me briefly once in conversation and if an appropriate opportunity arises I may in the meantime attempt to get from him a little more background as to his thinking on this.
