(Jewish Telegraphic Agency)
The Jewish Agency was given the role of an arbitor in disputes of an internal Palestinian nature in the Palestine communities ordinance approved by the British Colonial Office.
The approved text of the Ordinance published here calls for the intervention of the Jewish Agency in the case of a budget dispute between the Vaad Leumi, the National Council of Palestine Jews, and the Chief Rabbinate of Palestine.
