ANGLO-AMERICAN COMMITTEE OF INQUIRY
Report of the Anglo-American Committee of Enquiry regarding the problems of European Jewry and Palestine. Lausanne, 20th April, 1946. [Miscellaneous No. 8. Cmd. 6808.] London: HMSO, 1946. 2 volumes, 8° (243 x 152mm) text-vol., and small 2° (330 x 200mm) supplemental portfolio of maps. 80pp. 5 folding colour-printed maps of Palestine, extra-illustrated with another issue of map 5 of land classification, omitting map title and with additional caption 'Reproduced by 13 Field Survey Coy. R.E. Apr. 1946'. Original printed blue paper wrappers (map portfolio with extremities rubbed and frayed, a few short tears, inner fold sometime strengthened). Provenance: Foreign Office (stamps and ink and pencil markings on upper cover of maps portfolio). [With:] Exchange of Notes between His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom and the Government of the United States of America regarding the Constitution of a Joint Anglo-American Committee of Enquiry ... Washington, 10th December, 1945. London: HMSO, 1946. 8° (243 x 152mm). Bifolium, 3pp. (Staple rust marks.)
EXTREMELY RARE COMPLETE WITH THE MAPS. In their report, the AAC recommended: an immediate grant of 100,000 immigration certificates to Palestine; the creation of a politically neutral 'Holy Land' Palestine under the continuation of the Mandate; the creation of an Arab agency along the lines of the Jewish Agency; the rescindment of the land transfer regulations of 1940, and elimination of discriminatory land transfers; removal of Article 18 of the Mandate, thus paving the way for easier tariff and trade agreements to stimulate Palestine's economy; a substantial increase in funds for Arab education; and that the Jewish Agency should resume active co-operation with the Mandatory authorities. As one might have expected, the thorny issue of self-government for Palestine was side-stepped, and their recommendation that the British continue to have Mandatory powers satisfied no party. Consequently the work of the AAC came to naught. Khalidi & Khadduri 1736 (omitting the maps, but noting simultaneous US edition); the second mentioned work not in Khalidi & Khadduri.
