London Times Sees Little Hope for Peace in Palestine Despite Present Inquiry

There is little prospect for peace in Palestine “unless there is a great change of heart on one or both sides,” the London Times’ special correspondent in Jerusalem writes today, reviewing the testimony before the Anglo-American inquiry committee.

Any conceivable solution, he says, will probably be unacceptable to one or both sides, and result in the emergence of irreconcilable groups, which will attempt to upset the solution, and force a modification in their favor. The correspondent expresses doubts whether the present is the time to propose a solution which may have to be imposed by force.
