ROYAL COMMISSION'S

REPORT ON PALESTINE

Approval Of Policy Moved

Londen, July 31.

The report of the Royal Com- mission which recommended the partitioning of Palestine in order to prevent further clashes between Jews and Arabs, was debated in the House of Commons to-day, when Mr. Willam Ormsby-Gore,

the Colonial Secretary, moved ap- proval of the Government's policy, which favours adoption of the re- port.

He paid a tribute to the work of the Royal Commission and to the report itself, saying it was not only a great literary work but a final statement of historical truth. He warned the House to weigh its words as the debate would be scrutinised by the whole Jewish and Moslem world.

Mr. David Lloyd George, Liberal, asked if it were proposed that the British Government should accept responsibility for the protection of the minorities in either the Jewish or Arab state.

Mr. Ormaby-Gore replied that that was a matter for the League of Nations.

He claimed that enormous ̈volume of public opinion in Great Britain was behind the Royal
