FUNDAMENTAL DOUBT
CO-OPERATION IN UNITARY
STATE
LONDON, May 18,
"The Times," in a leader today, says that the fundamental doubt about the new Palestine policy is the assumption that the Jews and the Arabs can be induced to co-operate in a unitary State, and adds that the granting of autonomy to both races is the only means giving a sense of security. "The Times" adds that autonomy for Jews within a limited area should include immigration rights therein. This would give security to the Arabs and satisfaction to .the Jews. Such .an evolution is not excluded from the new policy, and the development of the Government's proposals should be shaped to this end. The "Manchester Guardian" says that there is no adequate reason why the Government should have plunged into "this headlong repudiation of pledges and truckled so far to the Arabs as to endanger,' if not to destroy, their great constructive work." The paper adds that if the scheme is meant to bring peace to Palestine, it will not succeed, because it is founded on injustice, and injustice does not bring peace.
