Britain Limits Palestine Jews
The British government announced plans to establish an independent Arab-dominated Palestine within ten years with Jews limited to one third of the population. The White Paper sets a five year immigration cap of about 75,000 Jews, then allows no obligation to further Jewish immigration. The policy draws opposition from Jewish officials and agencies who call it a territorial ghetto and vow to fight the measure in Parliament and at the League of Nations. The plan also empowers the high commissioner to regulate land transfers, mainly affecting Jewish acquisitions.
