The Daily Herald reported today that a group of prominent Arabs of the moderate faction has planned to present the Royal Commission, before it leaves Jerusalem, with a memorandum diametrically opposed to the extremist Arab demands as presented by the Grand Mufti on behalf of the Arab Supreme Committee.
According to the Herald, the memorandum makes the following demands:
1.-Institution of a legislative council for Palestine, with the rights of both Arabs and Jews protected;
2.-Appointment of a permanent commission of Arabs, Jews and Britons to regulate immigration;
3.-Introduction of effective security measures against lawlessness;
4.-Retention of the British mandate.
