Many Jewish and Arab delegations are expected to come here for the opening Thursday of the session of the League of Nations Mandates Commission, which will examine Britain’s new Palestine policy.

An Arab delegation headed by Jamal el Husseini, cousin of the exiled ex-Mufti of Jerusalem, has already arrived. The Jewish Agency for Palestine has permanent representation here. The New Zionist Organization is expected to send a delegation.

After the first session, meetings of the Mandates Commission will be closed to the public. The Palestine problem will probably be discussed next week following opening of the meetings and examination of this problem is expected to take four to five days.
