mind what policy to adopt toward
Palestine.
The Americans can't delay much
longer In determining their policy,
because they will be forced any day
now to state their position in the
political committee, where the sub
ject wiz be debated before 1t reaches
the assembly floor.
The only onicial American pro-
nouncement 30 far has been that
made by Secretary Of State Marshall
before the assembly in which he
said the United States will "give
great weight" to the decisions OF
the U. N. committee, which recon-
mended partition, which would
mean a Jewish state.
That bucked UP the Jews, but
after the Arabs held a secret con-
ference with Gen. Marshall, the
Jews admitted they were worried
about the possibility the United
States might switch.
Marshall Keeps Silent.
Gen. Marshall Is maintaining
silence on the American position
Other delegation sources say, how
ever, the United States Is desper-
ately seeking some solution which
would satisfy both Jews and Arabs
Gen. Marshall is reported to be
worried about the American Sc
curity position. The worlds great
est known oil reserves are In the
Middle East, under control Of the
Arab Nations. Both the Soviets and
the Western powers are eyeing these
oil fields, possession Of which might
influence the worlds future i'm
portantly.
Another basic factor which Is
bothering the Americans is the
probability that if the U. N. decides
to partition Palestine and create a
Jewish state, it will be up to the
United States to furnish the men
and money to implement the U. N.
decision. possibly against Arab op-
position.
