Contemplated restrictions on sales of Arab lands in Palestine were held detrimental to the Holy Land today in an address to the Parliamentary Palestine Committee by Mrs. Edgar Dugdale, niece of Lord Balfour, who in 1917 framed the Government’s declaration promising to create a Jewish homeland.
With a number of members of the House of Lords attending, Mrs. Dugdale urged careful consideration of the land curbs before taking action because of the importance of the land question.
She emphasized that the restrictions would be detrimental to the interest of the entire Palestine community.
