From an examination of the economic and military foundations of Arab warnings, it is evident that Arab hands are tied without direct or indirect external aid. In brief, it Britain carries out her obligations both as a UN member and withdrawing Mandatory Power, Palestine can avoid major upheavals without calling upon UN police...
