The primary objectives sought in the foregoing scheme were, in short, political division and economic unity: to confer upon each group, Arab and Jew, in its own territory, the power to make its own laws, while preserving both, throughout Palestine, a single integrated economy, admittedly essential to the well-being of each, and the same territorial freedom of movement to individuals as is enjoyed today.

It was a tactical acceptance, a vital step in the right direction – a springboard for expansion when circumstances proved more judicious.” 引文格式1维护:冗余文本 (link)
