	A/AC.25/W.19 of 30 July 1949
		The Peel Commission, composed of six members, was appointed in August 1936 to ascertain the causes of disturbances in Palestine and to make recommendations for the removal of grievances.
		The Woodhead Commission concluded that no practical plan of partition was possible because of the refusal of acceptance of this plan by both Jews and Arabs.
		In a statement of policy in November 1938, the United Kingdom accepted the conclusion of the Woodhead Commission that politically, administratively, and financially, partition would be impossible.

	Woodhead Commission - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Woodhead Commission was established in 1938 in the British Mandate of Palestine after the Peel Commission failed to achieve resolution to the Arab Revolt and the rejection of its recommendations by the three major parties in the conflict: Zionist Jews, Palestinian Arabs, and the British government.
		The Commission was headed by Sir John Woodhead, who was charged with identifying the circumstances leading to the failure of the Peel Commission.
		The Jews of Palestine were sharply opposed to the findings, leading to the Commission's failure.In consequence, Britain invited the parties to London in 1939 to participate in a third attempt to resolve the crisis, the St.

	The Avalon Project : Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry
		The Royal Commission which was established to investigate the situation denied the theory of equal obligations to Arabs and Jews, arguing that the Mandate had been predicated upon the supposition that the Palestine Arabs would accept the Jewish National Home.
		They required the commission to recommend for the proposed Arab and Jewish areas boundaries that would afford a prospect of the eventual establishment of independent states and necessitate the inclusion of the smallest number of Arabs in the Jewish area and of Jews in the Arab area.
		The Commission unanimously held that the White Paper was in conflict with the interpretation which the Mandatory Government, with the concurrence of the organs of the League, had put upon the mandate in the past.

		Although the commission found the Arabs responsible for the outbreak of violence, it claimed that the roots of the trouble should be traced to Arab anxiety in the face of British pro-Zionist commitments.
		The major recommendations of the commission were the demand for an immediate statement of British Palestine intentions, a re-examination of immigration policy, the establishment of a scientific inquiry into land usage and potential, (see: Hope-Simpson report) and a clarification of the Zionist Organization's relationship with the Mandate.
		Following the recommendation of the Woodhead Commission that partition was impracticable and the failure of the St. James Palace round table conference held in February-March 1939, a new policy for Palestine was issued.

		The Royal Commission, presided over by the late Earl Peel, published its report in July, 1937, and proposed a solution of the Palestine problem by means of a scheme of partition under which independent Arab and Jewish States would be established while other areas would be retained under mandatory administration.
		The proposal of the Commission was framed in the light of the information available at the time, and it was generally recognized that further detailed examination would be necessary before it could be decided whether such a solution would prove practicable.
		This proposal was subsequently discussed in Parliament and at meetings of the Permanent Mandates Commission and the Council and Assembly of the League of Nations, when His Majesty's Government received authority to explore the practical application of the principle of partition.

		While the Commission would not be expected to embark oil the further protracted inquiry which would be needed for working out a scheme of Partition in full detail, it would be idle to put forward the principle of Partition and not to give it any concrete shape.

		In their Report of July of 1937, the Peel Commission attributed the underlying cause of the Arab revolt to the desire of the Arabs for national independence and their hatred and fear of the establishment of a National Jewish Home.
		The Commission recommended freezing Jewish immigration at 12,000 per year for five years and that a plan for partition of the land be developed.
		With regard to partition, the Peel Commission advised that "the most strenuous effort should be made to obtain an agreement for the exchange of land and population" following Churchill's perceptive comment that the implementation of Zionism presumed a policy of population transfer.

		A royal commission of inquiry presided over by Lord Robert Peel, which was sent to investigate the volatile situation, reported in July 1937 that the revolt was caused by Arab desire for independence and fear of the Jewish national home.
		The commission not only allotted to this state an area that was immensely larger than the existing Jewish landholdings but also recommended the forcible transfer of the Arab population from the proposed Jewish state.
		In November 1938 it recommended against the Peel Commission's plan—largely on the ground that the number of Arabs in the proposed Jewish state would be almost equal to the number of Jews—and put forward alternative proposals drastically reducing the area of the Jewish state and limiting the sovereignty of the proposed states.

		To prevent friction between the two communities, the commission suggested "a transfer of land and, as far as possible, an exchange of population" between the Jewish and the Arab states.
		As in the first edition, the base for Morris's assertions that Ben-Gurion was a strong transfer advocate revolves around misreading of the Peel Commission and the subsequent Woodhead Commission.
