The members of the United Nations Special Committee on Palestine (UNSCOP) tour Palestine and study the problem, speaking to Jews, Arabs and British. The Arabs usually shun the Committee, the Jews cooperate with it and the British are indifferent.

During the Committee's tour of the south and the Negev, its members are impressed by the Jewish-Zionist endeavor, especially in the field of agriculture and the development of water sources.
