President Truman to the British Prime Minister (Attlee)38
Washington, 17 September, 1945
7. Replying to your number 9. Your efforts in the interest of Jews and other displaced persons in Europe are appreciated.
I am aware of the complications of the problem from your point of view. It also makes difficulties for us.
It is hoped that we can work out a successful program that will provide for them some measure of relief at an early date.
I have today talked by telephone with Secretary Byrnes and will take no further action in the matter until after his return to Washington.
