72 Memorandum by W.Eytan 1
COPY:CZA S25/5343
[Jerusalem] 25 February 1947
1. I attach an analysis of member states of UNO, arranged from the point of view of our political campaign.
[..]
USSR, Belorussia, Ukraine, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Yugoslavia.
I discount the first thre and am indeed not sure whether their opposition may not be worth having more than their support. The last three normally vote with USSR, but on the Palestine issue there may be some hope of catching them.
(a) I do not believe that Czechoslovakia under Masaryk and Benes would cast an anti-Zionist vote. But I suggest that a special effort be made in Prague, not to prevent an anti-Zionist vote at the dictation of USSR, but to persuade the Czech government to give us vocal support. This would be worth a special emissary--it should under no circumstances be left to the local Zionists to do.
(b) The special emissary, if he were of sufficiently high rank (member of the [Jewish Agency] Executive), might well continue his journey to Warsaw, particularly as the Polish consul general in Palestine 2 has urged this course. I can hardly believe that the Polish government's vote would be affected by what any emissary of our might say, but there is a possibility that [Poland]3 would not vote against us in any case. If it abstains from voting, it might at least do so intelligently.
(c) The Yugoslav government is more likely than either of these two other countries to follow the Russian line blindly, and I do not think any special effort on our part would be worthwhile. But their consul in Jerusalem is busily engaged in collecting material, and I think we should do all we can here, and with the Yugoslav representatives in Washington and London, to see that this government at least has all the factual information we can give it.
