Sir Herbert Samuel, former High Commissioner of Palestine, will become an Earl after the British Coal Commission, of which he is chairman, will conclude its investigation, according to information in the “Jewish World.”
This information confirms the previous report of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency to this effect.
The Jewish Telegraphic Agency was authorized to deny reports that the British Colonial Office has taken a negative attitude toward the intention of Sir Herbert Samuel to make a trip to Palestine in an unofficial capacity.
It was learned that Sir Herbert Samuel does not intend to go to Palestine in the near future, but that Lady Samuel is proceeding in March for a short visit to her son, Edwin, son-in-law of the Hebrew writer Grazowski. Edwin Samuel is a district officer in the Palestine administration.
