“In the view of His Majesty’s Government, [the right of the United States Government and their nationals in regard to Palestine] are limited to those specified in the Articles of the Convention...and the consent of the United States Government will therefore not be required to any change in the Palestine Mandate unless the specific rights in question are therefore affected. Indeed, the United States having assented by Article 1 of the Convention to the Mandate as a whole, it follows that the United States Government has accepted the provision in Article 27 of the Mandate which lays down that the Madate may be altered with the consent of the Council of the League of Nations.”
