Palestine Clarified
Transcribed from the clipping
PALESTINE CLARIFIED.
As the result of Monday's debate in the House of Commons the White Paper on Palestine, in the words of the official spokesman for the Mac- Donald Government, still stands " as explained and simplified today." The process of explanation and simplifi- cation was so thorough as to allay every real and reasonable apprehen- sion aroused by the original Pass- field statement.
Its principal vice was in tone rather than in substance. Basing itself on an expert inquiry into economic conditions in Pales- tine by Sir JOHN SIMPSON, the White Paper managed to be far more pes- simistic than he was.
Whereas he made it clear that there is still plenty of land in Palestine to en- gage Jewish colonizing energies for many years, the Passfield statement contained a note of querulous cen- sure.
