The State Department today studied the Palestine land restriction ordinance to see whether American interests were involved.
The department gave an unofficial opinion, however, that it appeared there was no violation of the 1924 Anglo-American convention guaranteeing America rights in Palestine. If the department finds evidence that American rights are affected, it will make representations to the British Government. The treaty provides that Americans shall enjoy the same rights as British subjects and the subjects of League of Nations members in Palestine.
