Description		    Prospectus for the issue of Palestine Defence Bonds by the British Mandate in Jerusalem. The mandate system was established after World War I by the Treaty of Versailles for the administration of the former overseas possessions of Germany and parts of the Turkish Empire. Its purpose was to implement the principles of Article 22 of the Covenant of the League of Nations. The mandate for Palestine was given to Great Britain at San Remo on April 25, 1920, and a civil administration (which superseded the British Military Administration), headed by Sir Herbert Samuel, was effected on July 1, 1920. The mandate itself was ratified by the Council of the League of Nations on June 24, 1922. The mandate terminated with the establishment of the State of Israel on May 14, 1948.
