Following is text of foreign Office telegram
referred to begins.
You should inform the Government to which you
are accredited that H.M.G. are studying urgently the position
created by Assembly decision on partition of Palestine
and that they will keep Arab Governments informed of such
further developments as will affect their interests.
? Meanwhile H.M.G. feel certain that Arab Governments
for their part will not wish to complicate the delicate
process of withdrawal from Palestine and hand over to
United Nations Commission which H.M.G. have now got to
carry through and that they will therefore proceed with
circumspection and do nothing precipitate during this
transitional period. whatever may be feelings of Arab
States with regard to United Nations decision H.M.G. are
counting on assurances which have been given by various
Arab spokesmen that there is no intention of causing dis
trust in Palestine while we are still in control there
and while we are bound to repress disorder from whatever
quarter it arises.
2. It will not be enough for Arab States to refrain
from sending units of their armies into Palestine. We
must urge them also to redtrain any of their nationals
who try to make their way into Palestine for purposes of
causing disorder there as well as organisations and individuals
in their territories who try to incite disorder from outside.
This applies particularly to Syria ? and -Lebanon Ends.
