to Sir Arthur Wauchope, the High Commissioner of Palestine, by a special delegation of the National Defense Party. The delegation also demanded that Palestine issue a law prohibiting the sale of land to Jews.
Sir Arthur today invited the Grand Mufti to explain what prompted him to send a memorandum to all Moslem kings and princes requiring their immediate intervention in the Palestine situation. The memorandum was full of inciting allegations against the British administration in Palestine and against the Jews.
A copy of this memorandum fell into the hands of the Zionist Executive which lodged a strong protest with the High Commissioner against the inciting propaganda carried on by the Grand Mufti.
“I have only fulfilled my duty,” was the explanation given by the Mufti today to Commissioner Wauchope with regard to the memorandum, according to the Al Balag, an Arab publication.
