Palestine Partition Commission Report 1938 British Mandate Jewish Arab State Map
310pp book +12 maps numbered 2-12 (9,9a)
When the Peel Commission presented its findings in 1937, stating that the Mandate had become unworkable, and outlined the major partition boundaries to be implemented, Chamberlain\'s government took fright at the prospect of dismantling the Mandate system, and in a secret vote on 8 December 1937, the cabinet rejected its findings. The British government then commissioned the Woodhead Commission, ostensibly to report on how partition might be implemented practically, but in reality to bury the Peel Commission proposals. The present report dismissed partition on the grounds that an independent Arab state would not be financially self-supporting.
