...accept either part or all of the proposal. Jewish circles envisioned little merit in any "autonomous" Jewish State in Palestine that would be unable to fix its own immigration quotas and thus determine its own destiny. The Arabs, (although it is doubtful that the extremely vocal land-owning Arab spokesmen represent real Arab sentiment), have often stated that "if the British proposal permits entry of one more Jew into Palestine, it will mean war."

The resulting compromise called for the creation of a council of the 19 organizations which would wield 10% of the executive committee's voting strength through three joint delegates working...
...does assume, however, that the world looks to the U.S. for more than material aid and military protection. The Institute's sponsors hope that their guests from abroad will spell out in concrete terms how the U.S. may assist in building a better world, and that the U.S. spokesmen will suggest practical, contemporary methods of realizing U.S. democratic principles in U.S. foreign relations...
