PALESTINE PROBLEM
Numerous Questions In The Commons
LONDON, July 12. REPLYING in the House of Commons to numerous questions on the League and the Palestine White Paper, Mr. Malcolm Mac- Donald said that report of the Permanent Mandates Commis- sion was not likely to be publish- ed before the House adjourned in August.
Mr. Arthur Greenwood aulted Mr.. MacDonald if he would any his hand with regard to any definitle action until the House had had an oppor- tunity of discussing the Commission's report, and the decision of the League Council.
Mr. MacDonnid declared that if any decisions reached by the League Council suggested any modification in policy approved by the House, then the Government would certainly feel necessary to
come to the House again before taking further action in regard to those particulur matters.
Mr. G. le M. Mander asked whe- ther Mr. MacDonald could deny that tive out of seven members of the Mondates Commission had condemn- ed the Brilish Government's policy.
Mr. MacDonald snid that when Mr. Mander had a chance of studying the report he was kely to find his information incorrect.—Reuter.
