FIRST EDITION. 2 vols. 8vo. (24.5 x 16 cm). pp.185; [4]. Publishers' original blue card wrappers WITH matching supplementary blue paper folder housing 5 folding Survey of Palestine maps. 5 folding maps, all but one colour-printed, folding graph at end of text-volume (map 3 apparently never issued). Some light general wear to card wrappers including a small nick to upper cover of text volume, some repaired tears to large map, generally in very good condition. The large folding map is quite brittle and should be handled very carefully. Complete with the very rare appendix of maps. It was "the first detailed attempt to assess Palestine's population capacity, and its estimate of the total cultivable land was almost 40 per cent lower than previous estimates. It claimed that under existing conditions there was 'no margin of land available for agricultural settlement by new immigrants'. [and] advocated limiting the area of Jewish settlement and ending the eviction of Arabs" (ODNB). In reaction to the 1929 violent unrest in Palestine, the British government sent the Shaw Commission (Palestine. Statement with regard to British policy. Cmd. 3582, 1930) to report on the situation in the Mandate. This concluded that Jewish immigration pressurized and displaced the Arab population, and rejected the view that the Jewish National Home was the principal feature of the Mandate. The Shaw Commission recommended an investigation into Palestine's economic absorptive capacity of Jewish immigration, and the present lot, Sir John Hope Simpson's report, 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 (Palestine. Statement of policy by His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom. Cmd. 3692, 1930). [Khalidi & Khadduri 1658; cf. Bryars & Harper, A History of the 20th Century in 100 Maps, 2014].
