Racial Controversy in Palestine

(From the Baltimore Sun.)

Racial Controversy in Palestine — The News Journal, 27 October 1930
The News Journal · Wilmington, Delaware · 27 October 1930

Transcribed from the clipping

“…the Zionists are naturally unwilling to be reminded that, after all, the Arabs have enjoyed possession in Palestine since the seventh century… the League of Nations mandate makes Britain as responsible for one racial group in Palestine as for another.”

Context added by this archive

The identical editorial to the Baltimore Sun’s of five days earlier, credited and reprinted. The Sun ran it under the single word PALESTINE; Wilmington boxed it and headlined it Racial Controversy in Palestine. The archive has very few cases where the same body copy can be set beside two headlines with everything else held constant.
