Summary
The Allied conference of April 1920 at which, in Banko’s account, the mandate for Palestine was granted to Britain despite the Arab objections evident in the King-Crane Commission report (The Invention of Palestinian Citizenship, 1918–1947, PDF p.38-50 / printed p.27-39).
Details
- The June 1922 White Paper states that the Balfour Declaration was reaffirmed “by the Conference of the Principle Allied Powers at San Remo” — “Principle” as printed — and again in the Treaty of Sevres, and “is not susceptible of change” (British Policy in Palestine — British White Paper of June 1922, line 35).
- In the editors’ account in ‘The House of the Priest’: A Palestinian Life (1885-1954), Britain’s refusal to acknowledge Greece as protectrice of the Orthodox followed its strategy of ending the capitulation regime, ratified at San Remo in 1920 (PDF p.51-52).
