The British government’s White Paper on the Palestine situation and its future policy there is merely an interim document, says the “Manchester Guardian,” and it would be wrong to regard it “as forecasting the government’s permanent policy” Pointing out that the statement prepared for the Mandates Commission does not carry the argument much farther, the Guardian is hopeful that by the time the Mandates Commission meets, the British delegate “will be able to make some of the obscure points more clear.”
The “Telegraph” characterizes the White Paper as being “far from a full declaration on the subject which the Shaw Commission states would be essential to the good government of Palestine.”
