(ii) They are finally delivered from the fear of being “ swamped ”
by the Jews and from the possibility of ultimate subjection to Jewish rule.
(iii) In particular, the final limitation of the Jewish National Home
within a fixed frontier and the enactment of a new Mandate for the
protection of the Holy Places, solemnly guaranteed by the League of
Nations, removes all anxiety lest the Holy Places should ever come under
Jewish control.
(iv) As a set-off to the loss of territory the Arabs regard as theirs,
the Arab State will receive a subvention from the Jewish State. It
will also, in view of the backwardness of Trans-Jordan, obtain a grary^
of ^2,000,000 from the British Treasury ; and, if an agreement can
reached as to the exchange of land and population, a further grant will
be made for the conversipn, as far as may prove possible, of uncultivable
land in the Arab State into productive land from which the cultiva^^t
and the State alike will profit.
The advantages to the Jews are :—
(i) 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.
(ii) Partition enables the Jews in the fullest sense to call their National
Home their own : for it converts it into a Jewish State. Its citizens
will be able to admit as many Jews into it as they themselves believe
can be absorbed. They will attain the primary objective of Zionism—-
a Jewish nation, planted in Palestine, giving its nationals the same status
in the world as other nations give theirs. They will cease at last to
live a “ minority life.”
