League of Nations circles are surprised, says a message appearing in the “Frankfurter Zeitung”, that Sir John Chancellor, the High Commissioner of Palestine, has been in such a hurry to proclaim the decisions of the International Wailing Wall Commission in force immediately on publication, at the very moment when the Permanent Mandates Commission of the League of Nations was opening its session to examine the Palestine situation. The British Government apparently wanted to confront the League with a fait accompli, the message adds, but in spite of that, either the disappointed Moslems or the Jews will make a formal protest to the League of Nations.
