Chaim Arlosoroff, chairman of the Political Department of the Jewish Agency and one of the prominent leaders of the Labor movement, had in 1932 written in a memorandum to Weizmann that a major problem is that the British administration is "considerate of the sensibilities of Arabs and Moslems" and "it would be very hard for them to depart from this practice to the extent of becoming responsive to our demands."

Another problem is that the Mandatory authorities might promulgate "regulations for the protection of tenant farmers," etc., all harmful to the Zionist enterprise.

He had therefore proposed "a transition period during which the Jewish minority would exercise organized revolutionary rule."
