The desirability of taking action against the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem for having written a letter to the Moslems of Beirut inciting them to resistance against the French authorities will be considered, Dr. Drummond Shiels, under-secretary for the colonies, told the House of Commons yesterday after Major Banks, M.P., had brought to the Colonial Office’s attention the fact that such a letter had been published in the “Ahdul Jedid,” organ of the Supreme Moslem Council, later suppressed by the Lebanese authorities for printing the letter.
