1920-1921 having failed, its revision, made early in 1927, was enacted only in July, 1929.

(4) Many regulations injurious to the Arabs were made.
(a) The Land Transfer Ordinance, 1920.1921, protected the Jews instead of the Arabs, as was shown by the Shaw Commission.
(b) The law regulating nationality made alien many Arabs.
(c) Arabs who emigrated before 1920 did not enjoy the privileges of the Lausanne Treaty—unjust as it was— while Jews could become Palestinians on receiving a passport from a Jewish Agency.
Many experts have advised the rigid supervision and lessening of Jewish immigration : e.g., Sir John Campbell (sent by the Jews), the Parliamentary Commission land has been taken by the Jews and the Arabs are left with the barren hillsides. If " the lot of the fellah was little, if any superior, to that of the Turkish Regime before the war" (Simpson Report, 1930), what is it today ?
What Jews Think
What the Jews themselves think can be gathered from their own statements, " The Jewish people," writes Asher Ginsberg in ' Ten Essays on Judaism and Zionism,' "are destined to rule over Palestine and manage all its affairs in its own way, without regard to the consent or non-consent of its present inhabitants. For this rebuilding, it might be understood. is only the renewal of the ancient rights of the Jews, which overrides the rights of the present inhabitants, who have wrongly established their national home and on a land not their own."
The Jewish ideal, in other words—and it could be proved by endless quotation— is to remove the Arab from the land, and although the Arab may improve in agricultural methods, what is the use, if he has been gradually robbed of his land?
Relations of Arabs to English
The whole Arab population of Palestine, as well as those of Transjordan, Syria and Irak looked up to the English before the war for help to throw off the Turkish yoke. When Great Britain made its promise to the King Husain the whole nation rose against the Turks. But has Britain once again proved perfidious Albion? It remains to be seen. To what is the present policy leading?
The present revolution is not instigated by leaders, it is a spontaneous and united upheaval of all Arabs against the insupportable injustice done to them. It has been neither planned nor pre-arranged. The promise of sending a Royal Commission to investigate the grievances of the Arabs is not to he taken seriously, for the Arabs ask: " What has become of the reports of the Cominisions of Haycraft, Shaw, Simpson, etc., etc.? Nobody could expect the Arabs to have confidence in another Royal Commission. The Arabs do not hate the British, hut the policy imposed upon them, and carried out in blood for the sake of another race.
Relations of Arabs to Jews Even the Jews admit that before the Great War, the Jews were free to enter Palestine and settle down and work on the land and never at any time were they molested by the Arabs, not even when trouble was instigated by the Turks. Tens of Jewish authorities can be quoted to support this statement.
The cause of the present trouble is the Balfour Declaration, executed with
continuous partiality. The very existence of the Arab people is endangered.
Jabotinsky and other Jewish leaders have urged amongst other things that Jews alone should have the privilege of military service in Palestine, and that the Jews be allowed to formulate objections to the selection of the British Government in the appointment of the High Commissioner for Palestine.
Furthermore they would have the new Palestine (Jewish) extend " from the Mediterranean to the Euphrates, and from Lebanon to the River of Egypt" (Bentwich).
What, therefore, does the Arab ask of the British Government? Just three things:
(1) The immediate and complete cessation of immigration.
(2) A Council. Are 825,000 Moslems and 100,000 Christians to be ignored at the bidding of 320,000 Jews? Can they deny Palestine what they have given to Somaliland, St. Helena, Gibraltar and Transjordan?
(3) Prohibition of the sale of land to the Jews.
