United States recognition of Transjordan is “well corded” by Britain, a Foreign Office spokesman declared today.
No official comment was made on the de jure recognition by the United States of Israel, but authoritative quarters stressed the divergence between the London and the Washington view on this subject. Britain, it was stated, believes that the United States step is not in keeping with international usage, since de jure recognition should not be given to a state whose frontiers are so fluid as those of Israel.
