ABSTRACT
This chapter summarizes the advantages of Partition to the Arabs, the Jews. The novel Partition proposal of the Palestine Royal Commission in 1937 was greeted with rebellion by the Arabs and misgiving by the Zionists. Partition secures the establishment of the Jewish National Home and relieves it from the possibility of its being subjected in the future to Arab rule. To both Arabs and Jews, Partition offers a prospect-and we see no such prospect in any other policy-of obtaining the inestimable boon of peace. American Zionists assembled in the Biltmore Programme, an Extraordinary Conference reaffirm their unequivocal devotion to the cause of democratic freedom and international justice to which the people of the United States, allied with the other United Nations, have dedicated themselves, and give expression to their faith in the ultimate victory of humanity and justice over lawlessness and brute force.
