The salient feature of this white paper is the decision to limit the further immigration of Jews into Palestine to 75.000 in the 5 years from 1939. after that period no further immigration of Jews will be permitted unless the Arabs of Palestine are prepared to acquiesce in it.

The second most important point regards the future constitution of the Patestine State: "At the end of 5 years from the restoration of peace and order. an appropriate body representative of the people of Palestine and of His Majestys Government will be set up to review the working of the constitutional arrangement during the transitional period. and to consider and make recommendations regarding the constitution of the independent Palestine State." The intention of the British Government is that within 10 years Palestine shall be an independent state in treaty relations with Great Britain.
