Publication of the Royal Commission’s report on its Palestine investigation will be deferred until the second week in May, newspapers reported today.
Postponement until after the coronation, it was stated, was considered advisable, fear having been expressed that publication of the report may touch off renewed disorders in the Holy Land.
Meanwhile, the Commission will take further evidence here, the newspapers said. Among those reported asked to testify is Sir Herbort Samuel, first Palestine High Commissioner. According to the Morning Post, the Commission has not yet reached any conclusion on its investigation.
