Extreme pressure of international finance on Great Britain's policy, constitutional crisis. Large-format pamphlet on the subject of British policy in Palestine, published by the National League. London, [1930s]. English.
Memorandum on British Policy in Palestine, specifically targeting the Concession for the extraction of salts and minerals in the Dead Sea, granted in 1930 to the Palestine Potash Limited headed by Moshe Novomeysky. The ruthless memorandum calls for the imposition of British rule on the Dead Sea and urges the British authorities to take steps to settle the "Palestinian problem", "To maintain the pledges given to the Arabs and our long and honoured friendship with the Moslem World". The memorandum is signed (in print) by Margaret Farquharson, president of the National League.
The National League (National Political League) was founded in 1911 as a non-partisan organization by Margaret Milne Farquharson and Mary Adelaide Broadhurst, both of them activists for women's rights in Britain. Beginning in 1918 the organization focused on a publicity campaign against Bolshevism and in favor of the rights of the Arabs of Palestine. Among other things, the organization struggled to change the principles of the Balfour declaration in favor of the Arabs.
