The article comments on the American reaction to the Palestine remarks made by the British foreign secretary Ernest Bevin at Bournemouth, England. Bevin would have ventured it if he were not casting about for an alibi to cover his own failure to meet the issue. Also when he says that if one has to raise the Arabs' life to the standard of the Jews, one cannot do it if one take away their land. Bevin has demanded to the Jews and Arabs to lay down their arms. Reading this, one realizes how little Bevin has learned from the inquiry, indeed from the long record of British colonial policy, he still believes that order is a prerequisite to policy, an idea easily converted into the theory that order is a substitute for policy.
