A critique of the Palestine Royal Commission report containing the proposal for three-way division of the Holy Land has been issued in printed form by Dr. Cyrus Adler, president of the American Jewish Committee. The pamphlet, containing 12 Pages, is entitled “Observations on the Report Of The Palestine Royal Commission.”
After taking issue with various sections of the report on the score of historical accuracy and logic, Dr. Adler, turning to its major proposition that partition constitutes the only solution to the Palestine problem, declares:
“I am entirely opposed to this finding as being in any way in accordance with the facts. I think the Jewish people should oppose this proposed partition with whatever means it can muster and by that I do not mean great and noisy demonstrations but by a careful study of every point of the report and an establishment by reason that the conclusions of that report will not result in peace in Palestine nor in the advancement of the welfare of its inhabitants.”
