A State Department Policy Planning Staff memorandum of 20 January 1948 also refers to the absence of UN efforts to conciliate Arabs and Jews, admittedly, more in reference to the last-minute Arab willingness to explore federalism just before the partition vote than to anything anterior, Cohen (ed.), Rise of Israel, Vol. 38, p. 14.

21. Emanuel Neumann to Abba Hillel Silver, Shertok and Lourie, memorandum, 7 November 1947, SAI 2266/15. In view of these circumstances, it seems hard to credit the view that Evatt might have deliberately postponed a decision by the Committee until the Latin Americans had received positive instructions on partition unless he was responsible for the ‘long delay’ he had apparently foreseen; see Hyams, History of the Australian Zionist Movement, p. 75.

23. Evatt (New York) to Burton, secret cable, 15 November 1947 (received same day), AA A9420/1 1.
