[researcher]: "Did you ever
have any reason to think that
because of the position that you had
taken on the Palestine problem that
that had some effect on your
appointment as Ambassador to India?"
Loy
Henderson: Oh,
yes, without any doubt, it was
responsible for my transfer from the
Department. It also cast a shadow
over me that was never fully
dispelled. Literally hundreds of
thousands of Americans who were
devoted to the establishment and
continued prosperity and development
of the Jewish State have continued
to associate my name with what they
considered to be the nefarious
'pro-Arab' group in the State
Department who had opposed the
establishment of such a State. "During
the years 1945-1948, various of my
Jewish friends had tried to warn me
that I was making powerful enemies
who could make life miserable for
me. I can recall that a Jewish
member of Congress with whom I had
friendly relations, had given me a
fair warning. He had said, 'Loy, I
want to tell you that you will be in
deep trouble if you continue to
adhere to what is believed to be
your present attitude with regard to
the establishment of the Jewish
State. Can't you at least modify
your stand and just let affairs take
their natural course? If you
continue to advise our Government
against supporting the setting up of
a Jewish State, your career can be
ruined, and I don't know what else
might happen to
you."
