RATIFIED BY LEAGUE OF NATIONS COUNCIL
Aberdeen Press and Journal, 25 July, #1922Live, Timeline of British Mandatory Palestine
“At its concluding session held in public at St James’s Palace, London, yesterday, the Council of the League of Nations formally ratified the Palestine and Syrian mandates.
The Earl of Balfour said that from that time onwards neither the Council of the League nor the Assembly would be required to consider questions relating to either Mandate. A new condition of prosperity would open under the new regime, and he believed every liberty would be preserved to the Arab population and that they would increase in material wealth, which under Turkish rule they never even dreamed of. Therefore he begged them to see that the system under which they had not been forgotten worked not only for others, but for themselves.
His views regarding the home for the Jewish people, while not meeting with unanimous approval, had received a meed of sympathy and approbation which was the best earnest of their success. While discussion and opposition were legitimate during the making of a scheme no man could now feel, looking at the matter soberly, that it was any less than a great crime now that a settlement had been reached to feed animosities between men of different religions and different races.
ARABS ON LOSS OF CONFIDENCE IN PROMISES.
Reuter’s Agency was informed by the Palestinian Arab delegation, on the conclusion of the session of the League of Nations, that they are handing in a new protest against the decision of the League approving the Palestine mandate. They declare that the effect in their country will be very bad, implying as it does the loss of all confidence in the promises given to them.
M. RUTENBERG
Speaking at the closing session of the conference of the English Zionist Federation in London yesterday, Dr Weizmann expressed satisfaction at the ratification by the League Council of the Palestine mandate.
M. Rutenberg who was received with great applause, said he thought that if during the last two years’ discussion about the mandate a few millions had been invested in Palestine and some hundreds Jews had been enabled to settle there, conditions in Palestine would now be much better. He appealed through the Zionists of England to the Jews of the whole world to raise the means necessary for realising his scheme.
A resolution was adopted pledging the English Zionist Federation to do its utmost to raise captial for investment in the scheme.”
