Report of the Anglo-American Committee of Enquiry Regarding the Problems of European Jewry and Palestine. Lausanne, 20th April, 1946. Presented by the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs to Parliament by Command of His Majesty.
Seal of British Crown.
pp. 80. Original printed wrappers. 8vo.
London: His Majesty's Stationary Office 1946
The Anglo-American Committee of Enquiry was a joint American and British committee created "[t]o examine political, economic and social conditions in Palestine as they bear upon the problem of Jewish immigration and settlement therein and the well-being of the peoples now living therein," among other issues, and recommend new policies to the mandatory government. While Britain had, at this time, severely limited legal Jewish immigration to Palestine, following the end of World War II and the Holocaust, President Harry S. Truman recommended that 100,000 Jewish refugees from Europe be admitted to Palestine. The report contains a thorough and nuanced analysis of these issues, and is preceded by policy suggestions, including Truman's recommendation, and advice against the partition of Palestine into two states. Virtually all of its proposals were disregarded.
