Only a miracle comparable to the parting of the Red Sea or the revelation of the Koran could have made the Anglo-American Committee's report on Palestine (TIME, May 6) entirely palatable to Arabs, Jews and the British Empire. By refusing to recommend either an Arab or a Jewish Palestine, by supporting neither totally restricted nor totally unrestricted Jewish immigration, by hewing to the line of compromise through 40,000 considered words, the Committee found itself in a no man's land between uncompromising factions...

As a young delegate to the Ottoman Parliament, he had urged his father Hussein, Sherif of Mecca, to team with the British in an Arab revolt against Ottoman overlordship.
