Morrison-Grady Plan
MORRISON-GRADY PLAN
An Anglo-American proposal made in July 1946 to deal with the post–World War II problem of Jewish refugees needing to immigrate to Palestine, following upon the report of the Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry. A commission headed by Herbert Morrison, representing Britain's Labour government, and Henry Grady, representing the United States, drew up a report that called for the partition of Palestine into semi-autonomous Arab and Jewish regions, leaving the British high commissioner in charge of defense, foreign relations, customs, and immigration. This plan was rejected by both Arabs and Jews because it would have meant an increase in British control.
