Sir Steuart Spencer Davis, treasurer of Palestine, and acting-High Commissioner for the last three months, will now resume his duties as treasurer.
The manner in which Sir Steuart conducted the affairs of the government evoked general satisfaction on the part of all groups owing to his quiet efficiency and his application to the delicate task of reconciling Arabs and Jews, particularly with regard to the Wailing Wall question. Sir John Chancellor is leaving London for Palestine today.
