The second article I just linked to it gives more insight. Truman sympathized with the plight of the Jews in Europe, tried to get US immigration policy changed to let them in. 65% of Americans favored partition after the Exodus incident. The article says that State opposed it due to oil, but I think it was probably also due to the belief that war would be inevitable, and it was.
