With two folding maps showing parts of the Palestine territory that had been surveyed in detail. Detailed report to the Mandates Commission of the League of Nations regarding the British controlled Mandate of Palestine. After the collapse of the Ottoman Empire after World War I the Empires territories in the Middle East were divided between Great-Britain and France with the exception of the newly created Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and ruled as mandates on behalf of the League of Nations. The Mandate of Palestine was one of the territories governed by Great-Britain on behalf of the League of Nations and the British government had to produce an annual report of the territorys government for the League of Nations. The first proper report was produced in 1924 and they were produced every year thereafter until 1938. The reports contain extensive information on the region at that specific period describing the economy politics judicial system public health technological works and religious matters. The growing unrest in the Arab population and its strife for independence which would lead to the 1936-1939 revolt against British rule is already clearly visible in the report.In very good condition.

1938182153London: His Majesty's Stationery Office 1938. First separate edition of this short but consequential statement on the findings of the Palestine Partition Commission rejecting the commission's proposals to create independent Arab and Jewish states. "The political administrative and financial difficulties involved. are so great that this solution of the problem is impracticable.

1930182213London: His Majesty's Stationery Office 1930. First separate edition transmitting the text of a statement by Drummond Shiels Britain's representative to the Permanent Mandates Commission following the publication of the Shaw Report into the 1929 Palestine disturbances. Shiels's statement while accepting of Shaw's findings displays the same equivocation that characterized Whitehall's approach to Palestine in the early 1930s. After 1929 "for the first time the British government publicly began to evaluate the socioeconomic impact of its policy on the Palestinian population. In October 1930 the Colonial Office issued a new statement of policy on Palestine the Passfield White Paper which went a long way toward meeting Arab demands for limitations on Jewish immigration" Miller p. 9. This paper was almost immediately retracted by Downing Street Ramsay MacDonald making reassuring overtures to Chaim Weizmann and "in the end the manner in which the British responded to the events of 1929 created greater suspicion of their intentions among Jews as well as Arabs" Miller p. 10. Octavo pp. 10. Original self-wrappers wire-stitched with pp. 5-6 leaf loosely inserted as issued. Toning and creasing: very good.

First separate edition one of 500 copies only printed in March 1931 of the controversial Passfield White Paper which was issued in the wake of the 1929 disturbances and the Shaw and Hope-Simpson reports. The paper imposed restrictions on Jewish immigration into Palestine and criticized Zionist organizations leading to an outcry and its almost immediate watering down by Ramsay MacDonald. "In the end the manner in which the British responded to the events of 1929 created greater suspicion of their intentions among Jews as well as Arabs" Miller p. 10. Octavo pp. 23 1.
