Immigration Suspension Means Zionist Defeat, Herald-tribune Says

In an editorial entitled “The Impasse in Palestine,” the New York Herald-Tribune declared yesterday that temporary suspension of Jewish immigration into the Holy Land as a means of ending Arab disorders would be “tantamount to complete defeat” for Zionism.

Referring to the Royal Commission appointed last June by William G.A. Ormsby-Gore, the Colonial Minister, the editorial stated:

“There is a certain unreality about the gentlemanly British vision of the Arabs abandoning their campaign, of the commission impartially carrying out its studies and, if ‘legitimate grievances are found’, as Mr. Ormsby-Gore puts it, announcing the impartial manner in which they are to be ‘permanently removed.'”
