MUTILATION OF THE FACTS REGARDING THE ARAB REVOLT IN 1936 WAS CHARGED AGAINST THE PALESTINE GOVERNMENT TODAY IN A MEMORANDUM DRAWN UP BY THE JEWISH AGENCY FOR PALESTINE, ADDRESSED TO THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS MANDATES COMMISSION.

THE STRONGLY-WORDED MEMORANDUM DENIED THE GOVERNMENT’S CHARGE, IN ITS REPORT TO THE MANDATES COMMISSION, THAT THE JEWS STARTED THE TROUBLE. IT WAS HANDED TO HIGH COMMISSIONER SIR ARTHUR GRENFELL WAUCHOPE FOR DISPATCH TO THE MANDATES BODY.
