The main difficulty in connection with the report of the Palestine Inquiry Commission centers around the land question, it was learned here today on good authority. A majority of the members of the Commission are said to take the view that some provision should be made for the Arabs in connection with the transfer of land.
The same source of information indicates that when the long-expected report is made public it will probably be found that both Jews and Arabs are blamed for the recent outbreaks, although there will be a clause in the report unequivocally condemning the Arab atrocities.
It is also understood that the Commission will make no suggestion for setting up the much-discussed legislative council. The idea was talked of by the Commission, but it has now been entirely dropped. General suggestions for changes in the personnel of the Palestine administration will be made, but there will be no question of a reconsideration of the Palestine Mandate.
