Harry C. Luke, chief secretary of the Palestine government, and during last Summer’s disturbances in charge of the country’s administration in the absence of High Commissioner Chancellor, may be appointed deputy governor of Malta.

The Malta post is considered more important than the chief secretaryship of the Palestine government.
