Truman Asks For
Palestine For Jews
(Continued From Page One
ready to lend its immediate as
sistance.
“2. I state again, as I have stat-'
ed on previous occasions, that the
immigration laws of other coun
tries, including the United States,!
should be liberalized with a view
to the admission of displaced per-1
sons. I am prepared to make such j
a recommendation to Congress
and to continue as energetically as
possible collaboration with other
countries on the wnole problem of
displaced persons.
“3. Furthermore, should a work
able solution for Palestine be de
vised, I would be willing to rec
ommend to the Congress a plan
for economic assistance for the
development of that country.”
The President’s statement, re
leased by press secretary Charles
G. Ross with the announcement
that its contents were cabled to
Attlee, expressed Mr. Truman’s
“deep regret” that the meeting of
the London Palestine conference
are not to be resumed until De-,
cember 16.
The President said that in the
light of the “terrible ordeal which
the Jewish people of Europe en
dured during the recent wars’ and
the crisis now existing, “I cannot
believe that a program of imme
diate action along the lines sug
gested above could not be worked
out with the cooperation of all
people concerned.”
