Senator William E. Borah of Idaho, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, favors urgent representations to Great Britain on behalf of the American citizens recently killed in Arab outbreaks in Palestine, and believe such representations would convince the British government that the United States expects the proposed inquiry into the Palestine disturbances to be “thoroughgoing.” Insistence on that score would be in full accord with international practice, Senator Borah declared in an interview with Frederick William Wile, Washington political correspondent, published in the “Evening Star” and other papers in various parts of the country.

Demand that the projected Commission of Inquiry, which will investigate the Palestine disorders, shall probe to the bottom of the charges of connivance on the part of British local officials, is made in an editorial published in the “Evening Star” here.
