The report was dated October 1, 1930, but was released on October 21, 1930. The report recommended limiting Jewish immigration based on the economic absorptive capacity of Palestine. The Passfield White Paper was also dated October 1, 1930, and recommended similar limiting of Jewish immigration. Contains a fold-out graph attached to rear inner cover. 245x155mm. 185 pages. Softcover. Cover and spine yellowing. Spine wrinkled. Pen inscription on front cover upper edge. Small pen mark on upper corner of front inner cover and title page. Some pages upper corner bumped/wrinkled. Pages yellowing.
