England not so long ago shipped arms to the Arabs and supplied them with war materials to fire on the Israelites in Palestine. When the United States protested and gave England to understand that there would be no more ECA funds unless she refrained from doing what she was accused of doing and comply with the mandate of the United Nations. a stop was put to these underground tactics. and within a short time thereafter the Israelites defeated the Arabs and proceeded to organize and activate their country. Now they are saddled with thousands of refugee Arabs as war prisoners and cannot afford to care for or transport them out of the country. England is originally to blame for this condition but proceeds to shift the burden to us. and under the ECA legislation we agree to spend $27.000.000 to take over and care for the Arab prisoners. I do not attribute any blame to the Israelites for taking the position that they are taking.
