The Arab delegation of six coming to London to present the Arab side on Palestine to the British public, is due here tomorrow. It is reported that Lord Passfield, colonial minister, will see on Saturday the Grand Mufti, who is a member of the delegation. The “Daily Herald” learns that by that time the report of the Palestine Inquiry Commission will have been made public and in that case the meeting between the colonial minister and the Grand Mufti will be even more picturesque than the costume of the chief Moslem magistrate would have made it.

The delegation, in addition to the Grand Mufti, consists of Mouzza Kazim Pasha, president of the Arab Executive, Mayor Nashashibi of Jerusalem, Jamal Husseini, secretary of the Arab Executive, Alfred Roch, a Christian, and Auni Abdul Hadi, one of the Arab counsel at the Inquiry Commission hearings.
