Editorial Note
The Secretary of State, on February 12, 1948, sent a letter to Congressman Jacob K. Javits, with copies to twenty-nine Members of the House of Representatives, in reply to their jointly-signed letter of February 10. The reply dealt with questions raised by the Congressmen concerning British arms shipments to Arab nations, the activities of Arab nations as possibly endangering the maintenance of international peace and security, the means for making effective the General Assembly’s decision to partition Palestine, and the measures the United States was prepared to undertake to assist in implementing that decision; for text, see Department of State Bulletin, February 29, 1948, page 281.
