The question of Palestine will be studied by the U.N. General Assembly, which is scheduled to open in New York in September, Carl J. Hambro, president of the League Assembly said today.
Hambro’s statement came in reply to a demand by Egyptian delegate Darwiche Bey that Palestine receive its independence instead of being placed under a trusteeship. “It is the opinion of the Egyptian Government,” he told the Assembly, which goes out of existence tonight, “that Palestine has intellectually, economically and politically reached a state where the country should not come under a mandate or trusteeship.”
