It is being generally rumored here in official circles that H. C. Luke, Chief Secretary of the Palestine government and Acting High Commissioner during the riots, will not return to Palestine, according to a decision of the Colonial Office. It is also said that the High Commissioner, Sir John Robert Chancellor, had tendered his resignation to the Colonial Office nearly two weeks ago. While his resignation has not yet been accepted, it is known that the government is negotiating with other candidates for the post.
