Editorial Note

At the afternoon meeting of the General Assembly on November 28, the French Representative proposed that the Assembly postpone its decision until the following day to permit a last-minute effort to arrive at a solution acceptable to both the Arabs and the Jews. The French proposal was adopted by a vote of 25 to 15. For the official record of the discussion of the proposal, see GA (II) Plenary, pages 1401–1410, passim.
