Palestine Report Sparks U.S. Britain Debate Over Immigration Policy
AP analyst DeWitt Mackenzie notes the Anglo-American inquiry urges 100,000 Jewish immigrants to enter Palestine immediately, a stark contrast to Britain's plan of about 15,000 per year. The report also says Palestine should not be a Jewish or Arab state, while Arabs push a naval strike and Jews seek far more permissive immigration amid regional tensions. Russia seeks Mediterranean influence as Britain faces pressure from Egypt and shifting imperial routes.
