Editorial Note

President Truman was asked at his press conference of September 9 whether recognition of the Government of Israel would have to wait until after the election in that country. He replied that “I have that matter under consideration now. I cannot give you a definite answer on it now.” (Public Papers of the Presidents of the United States: Harry S. Truman, 1948, page 482.)
