After the disturbances had broken out the Mufti co-operated with the Government in their efforts both to restore peace and to prevent the extension of disorder. [No blame can be properly attached to the British government for failing to provide armed reinforcements, withholding of fire, and similar charges.] Jewish enterprise and Jewish immigration, when not in excess of the absorptive capacity of the country, have conferred material benefits upon Palestine in which the Arab people share.
