Transcribed from the clipping

“Palestine Jews were heartened by Russian endorsement of the partition proposal but Falastin, an Arab newspaper, expressed Arab displeasure with a headline: ‘Dictatorial Communist Russia Supports Partition and Jewish State Jointly With Imperialist-Capitalist America.’”

Context added by this archive

A Palestinian newspaper’s headline, given in full translation inside an American wire story. For an archive whose unit of analysis is the American headline, a Palestinian headline arriving intact inside one is a category of evidence it does not otherwise have.
