  • PALESTINE: TERMINATION of the MANDATE 15 May 1948
    PALESTINE: TERMINATION OF THE MANDATE 15 May 1948 [Statement prepared for public information by the Colonial Office and Foreign Office, His Majesty's Stationery Office] His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland will cease to be responsible for the administration of Palestine from midnight on 14th May, 1948. The ending of thirty years of British rule in Palestine, begun when General Allenby's troop occupied that country towards the close of the first world war, provides a fitting occasion for a brief review of its history and of the policy pursued by His Majesty's Government. I. The Origin and Nature of the British Mandate for Palestine The Mandate for Palestine was assigned to His Majesty by the Supreme Council of the Allied Powers in 1920, was approved by the League of Nations in 1922 and took effect in 1923, when the Treaty of Lausanne formally ended the war between the Allied Powers and the Ottoman Empire, in which Palestine had previously been included. To implement this Mandate, His Majesty's Government set up in Palestine an Administration comprising a British High Commissioner, appointed by and responsible to the Colonial Office, assisted by an Advisory Council nominated by him from his officials. These, together with the police and judiciary, were initially mainly British, but, in the civil service, British subjects were gradually replace by Arabs and Jews in all but the most senior appointments. The Administration was supported by a British garrison. With this mandate His Majesty's Government accepted certain obligations, which are set out in two documents: the Covenant of the League of Nations and the Mandate for Palestine.

  • Port-Au-Prince (May 1947-August 1948) En Route to Haiti (UH000, 001
    The Paul-Henri and Erika Bourguignon Photographic Archives The Ohio State University Libraries Port-au-Prince (May 1947-August 1948) En route to Haiti (UH000, 001, 002) Paul Bourguignon arrived in Haiti in May 1947, having traveled from Le Havre to Martinique on board the French luxury liner Le Colombie. The boat had been converted into a military hospital ship and had not yet returned to its prewar character. It was crowded with emigrants from many different European countries, most of whom hoped to relocate in South America. From Martinique Bourguignon proceeded to Port-au- Prince, with stops on the way in Guadeloupe and the Dominican Republic. In Port-au-Prince, Bourguignon settled at the Hotel Excelsior on the Champ de Mars and soon began to take photographs. The city and its surroundings (PH003, 004, 005, 006, 007, 008, 009, 010, 011, 012, 013, 014, 015, 016, 017, 018, 019, 020, 021, 022, 023, 024, 025, 026, 027, 028, 029, 030) Port-au-Prince is located on the Gulf of Gonâve, named for the island at its center. The city was founded by the French, in the 18th century, as the capital and principal port of the colony of St. Domingue. In 1944--the most recent date for which US Government estimates were available in 1948--Port-au-Prince was reported to have a population of 125,000. Unofficial estimates in 1948 set the total closer to 200,000. The increase, by all accounts, was due to a continuous migration from rural areas to the city. This long term- trend was accelerated, on the one hand, by fragmentation and alienation of rural lands and on the other, by the availability of service jobs in the city.

  • Major Economic Changes in 1948
    UNITED NATIONS MAJOR ECONOMIC CHANGES IN 1948 Department of Economic Affairs Lake Success, New York January 1949 Major Economic Changes in" 1948 Department of Economic Affairs UNITED NATIONS Lake Success, New York January 1949 UNITED NATIONS PUBLICATIONS Sales No.: 1949. n.C. I PREFACE Ma]or Economic Changes in 1948 is the third of a series of reports dealing with world economic conditions, prepared by the Department of Economic Affairs of the United Nations. The first, Economic Report: Salient Features of the World Economic Situation 1945-47, was issued in January 1948; a supple- ment to that report, Selected World Economic Indices, was issued in July 1948. The purpose of the present publication is to make generally available a preliminary review of important economic developments which occurred during 1948. It is being issued at this time in order to provide the Economic and Social Council with a useful factual background for discussion of the current world economic situation at its eighth session in February 1949. A comprehensive economic survey of the world situation will be issued towards the middle of 1949. That survey will take account both of the regional economic reports which will become available during the early months of 1949 from the secre- tariats of the regional economic commissions of the United Nations in Europe, Latin America and the Far East, and of the economic activities of the specialized agencies. Part I of Major Economic Changes in 1948 provides a broad picture of the main economic develop- ments during the year 1948, based on data, necessarily incomplete for the year, which were available at the time the report was prepared.
