501.BB Palestine/4–2949
The President to Mr. Mark F. Ethridge, at Jerusalem
[Washington,]
April 29,
1949.
Dear Mark: I appreciated very much your letter of the eleventh and I was particularly interested in the attitude of the Arabs with regard to the present situation.
I am rather disgusted with the manner in which the Jews are approaching the refugee problem. I told the President of Israel in the presence of his Ambassador just exactly what I thought about it. It may have some effect, I hope so.
Sincerely yours,
[Harry S. Truman]
