All this while the hope of Jewish people burned dimly. but it burned. Now. in 1939. that hope is all but extinguished by the White Paper of last week. which proposes a Palestine state for both Arab and Jewish people to become an independent state in 1949. The death stab to Jewish hope of a homeland is found in the provision that Jewish immigration to Palestine shall be limited to 15.000 persons annually for 5 years. and thereafter the number of Jews shall be limited to onethird of the population. Thus is hope of homeland decimated. Thus does Britain. for political considerations. renounce the promises of the Balfour declaration of 1917.
