summary

Summarizes the position of the British that a Jewish National Home in Palestine should be formally recognized due to historic associations. Nonetheless, "Palestine should neither be a Jewish State nor an Arab State but one in which the two peoples in Palestine should share authority in government...that the essential interests of each are secured...[although] both communities [are leaning]...towards the more emphatic assertion of exclusive rights." (p.13)

pp.14. Original wrappers and words "Government of Palestine" under the seal. Folio
