The commission has recom- mended partition of the Holy Land into sovereign Vewish and Arab- jan states, with a new British mandate over an area containing! Jerusalem, Bethichem and Naz areth. At present all of Palestine is administered by the British _ etabanigaiee under a League of lations mandate. Small Sized Palestine is about 140 miles long, 23 miles wide at the top, and 80 miles wide in the south. It tontains some 9,000 square miles, @n area which even a small Amer- fean state could tuck away in | corner, The population—Jews, Christians and Arabs—was mated in 1926 at 852,268, al- though since then thousands of dews have entered to help build the homelend envisaged in the Balfour Declaration. The effect of the royal commis- sion’s recommendations, if adopt- ed, would be to create two sover- eign states—one, Jewish, on the upper Mediterranean coast of Palestine, including the fiourish- ing all-Jewish city of Tel Aviv; the other, Arabian, joined to. the present boundaries of Trans-Jor- dan, pnArab state now under Britis) mandate. Another result Would ‘be to make Great Britain, through permanent mandate over derusalem, Bethlehem and Naz- @reth, the guardian of the world’s Christian shrines.
