The article presents recent developments in the U.S. politics. Both the U.S. and the Soviet union are ducking the Palestine issue until further stalling was impossible. If the U.S. Secretary of State George C. Marshall and the U.S. President Harry S. Truman had been swung by the Arab threats toward an anti-Zionist position, they gave evidence of swinging back again under heavy bombardment of facts from the other side. After fighting hard to prevent it, the U.S. finally agreed to proposal made by France and Belgium that the findings of guilt against Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, and Albania in the Balkan dispute be dropped. The facts on which a decent American policy would be based were laid before the U.N. Assembly in a memorandum, submitted on October 2, 1947 by the Nation Associates. The document, entitled "Could the Arabs Stage an Armed Revolt Against the United Nations?" says even more than its name implies.
