Dear M. Lisicky,
I am further to inform the Commission, in strict confidence that the discussion in London may cover, inter alia, the question whether the Commission should proceed to Palestine before May 1st.
I should be grateful if you would inform me as soon as possible of the Commission’s plans in the light of these suggestions:
It may also be useful to you to know that, as reported in the press today, the Secretary of State for the Colonies of the United Kingdom is coming to New York in order to attend the expected discussions of the Palestine question in the Security Council. He is expected to arrive on Sunday, February 15th.
Yours sincerely,
