HMSO Cmd 3692.: Palestine: Statement of Policy by His Majesty's Government. , London: HMSO October 1930.

Lord Passfield [Sydney Webb] was known to be an opponent of Jewish immigration into Palestine, and he collaborated with Hope Simpson to produce this White Paper, which initiated plans for formal limits [p20]. The combination of Cmd3686 and Cmd3692 undermined British reputation for consistency together with an official re-interpretation in the House that reversed some of the terms laid further grounds for Arab-Jewish dissent in Palestine. The League of Nations Permanent Mandates Commission heavily criticised the proposals to limit immigration as being illegal and against British commitments under the Mandate. 23pp leaflet, small library stamp, otherwise good condition, no other markings. (Book ref. 38315)  £60.00
