Although there is no law in Transjordania against the sale of land to Jews, the government would probably prevent such sales, was the declaration of Hassan Khaled Pasha, chief minister, today. Jewish interest in Transjordania was revived by the White Paper recommendation that no more Palestine land be sold to the Jews.
Hassan Pasha, returning from London, spoke through the Falastin, leading Palestine Arab newspaper. He said that in Transdordania it was customary not to sell land to foreigners, and that the government would therefore probably prevent the Zionists from buying territory.
