Abraham Baumkoller, a Jewish student from Warsaw, who has been studying international law at Paris University, has obtained his doctorate with a thesis in which he has critically analysed the Passfield White Paper on Palestine policy issued by the British Government in October.
Among the Professors who heard his thesis were Professor A. Geouffre de Lapradelle, Professor of International Law at Paris University and editor of the “Journal de Drest International Public”, who is a Vice-Chairman of the Carnegie Endowment For International Peace, and Professor Henri Berthelemy, Professor of Administrative Law at Paris University, Dean of the Faculty of Law and Vice-Chairman of the French League for Pan-Europa.
Some of the Professors contested the arguments put forward by Baumkoller, and one of them urged the rights of the Arab population of Palestine. The Pedagogic Faculty agreed, however, that the dissertation is an important contribution to the study of International Law entitling the author to receive his doctorate.
