With over 12,000 troops standing at the out vive to crush any incipien disorders, British High Commissioner Sir Arthur Wauchope (second from left below) and his associates charged with the task of governing Palestine, awaited reaction of the million-odd Arabs and 400,000 Jews to publication of proposals to divide the Holy Land Into three zones and set up separate and independent states for Jews and Arabs. The proposals, already approved by the British Government were put forward by the Royal Comission which was sent to investigate recurring disorders between the two bitterly opposed factions and to suggest a remedy.

The Royal Commission Indicated that they held out no alternative hope of reconciling the two races.
