Asked whether, in view of the Palestine situation, the United States had done anything to help Britain intercept the refugee ships, Connolly replied that there is ## foundation to recent reports that U.S. ships were engaging in search operations. ## was further asked whether, if United States fleet units saw refugee ships, they would inform the British. “I would see no reason for our passing information like ## on to the British,” Connolly replied. “We are not engaged in those activities anyway.”
