SIR JOHN HOPE SIMPSON (1868-1961)
Report on Immigration, Land Settlement and Development. [Cmd. 3686.] -- Appendix Containing Maps [Cmd. 3687.] London: HMSO, 1930. 2 volumes, 8° (245 x 155mm), comprising text-vol. and appendix of maps. 5 folding maps, all but one colour-printed, folding graph at end of text-vol. (Map 3 apparently never issued, maps 1 and 6 with very small holes at some creasefolds and a few very short marginal tears and nicks.) Original blue-green wrappers (wrappers to appendix unevenly faded and with small losses at extremities). Provenance: Hebrew stamp on title-page.
COMPLETE WITH THE VERY RARE APPENDIX OF MAPS. Constituted as a one-man commission on the recommendation of the Shaw Commission (see previous lot), Sir John Hope Simpson's report into Palestine's economic absorptive capacity of Jewish immigration concluded that the increasing number of Jewish land purchases was leading to a growing population of landless Arabs. Hope Simpson's recommendations of reduced Jewish immigration and restrictions on land transfers were adopted by the Passfield White Paper (see lot 381). Khalidi & Khadduri 1658; cf. Bryars & Harper, A History of the 20th Century in 100 Maps (2014), p.79.
