A possible basis of compromise was proposed by High Commissioner Wauchope last December when he offered to establish a Legislative Council of 13 Arabs, eight Jews and five Britons. This plan was spiked by the Jews, despite the fact that it would have given them more representation than their proportion of population warrants. Since they run the country's business and pay its taxes, the Jews...
