Geneva, June 21.
Mr, Malcolm MacDonald, the British Colonial Secretary, in a broadcast to the United States today, declared that it was the belief of the British Government that the proposals contained in its White Paper on Palestine were consistent with ihe obligations contracted towards both the Jews and Arabs under the Mandate.
The duty of pursuing a wise and just policy in Palestine, he added, Should not fall upon the shoulders of the British Government alone. The Jewish and Arab people, he said, should also play their part.
Unless they each were willing to make some concession to the other, he concluded, there was little prospect for the return of peace—Reuter.
