Text. Lord Passfield's White Paper
On Palestine Called Misrepresentation

the obligation of the mandatory to IA
ciiitate the establishment of the jew
fish homeland but the more specific due
ties Of encouraging Jewish immigration
and Of promoting the close settlement
of Jews upon the land. With such dis
regard of the letter and spirit Of the
mandate, Lord Passfield Is still not
content, but would accuse the Jewish
agency Of violating article Of the man
date because the Jewish agency en-
ploys In q very large measure Jewish
labor on Jewish enterprise, which ex-
lists only because Jewish capital Is at.
tracted to the land by the promise OF
a national home.
The root dificulty is that the idea of
q Jewish national home In Palestine Is
not to Lord PasSfleld's liking. However
much Lord Passfleld may try to con-
tend that this or that conclusion drawn
from his text is unwarranted, The fault
lay in his text, and not in the conclu-
sions drawn from it.. An important state
paper purporting to affect the destinies
of peoples, should never have been
drawn up in camera and with so little
thought as to the obvious import Of its
words. The white paper has justly
been denounced by Jew and Britain
alike. II is an I'M British document be-
cause it is unfair, and unfairness is un
British.
