Few Concessions Contained in Mr. Macdonald’s Letter of Little Value Compared with Fact It Explicitly

The few concessions contained in Mr. MacDonald’s letter are of little value compared with the fact that it explicitly maintains the worst features of Lord Passfield’s White Paper, Mr. Jabotinsky said in a statement to the J.T.A. here to-day. It makes a solution dependent on the consent of the Arabs; it reaffirms the High Commissioner’s right to interfere with Jewish land purchases and to control immigration; it even maintains the objection to the principle of Jewish labour in Jewish enterprises. Worst of all it reaffirms the validity of both the 1922 and 1930 White Papers. The Executive in agreeing to this letter, have done unpardonable damage to the ### cause.
