You may return to London with feelings of confidence and optimism augmented, the Palestine High Commissioner, General Sir Arthur Wauchope, told me, Professor Selig Brodetsky, member of the Jewish Agency Executive, who has been in Palestine for some time and is leaving to-morrow on his return. to England, said to-day to the J.T.A. here.
Yesterday, Dr. Brodetsky saw the High Commissioner, Mr. Lewis French, the Director of Palestine Development, Mr. Young, the Chief Secretary to the Palestine Government, and Mr. Mills, the Assistant Chief Secretary, and explained to them the attitude of the Jews, aiming at mutual co-operation with the Mandatory Power.
I have sufficient basis to continue these efforts in London, Dr. Brodetsky said. I particularly discussed the questions of lands, and of Mr. French’s investigations in relationship to the Government and the Jewish Agency.
Mr. French’s report will be completed in a fortnight, Dr. Brodetsky added, but we shall not see the report before June or so. It is for that reason advisable, Dr. Brodetsky said, to call the next Actions Committee meeting only at the end of June or July.
The Government will on Monday consider the new schedule of labour immigration certificates, Dr. Brodetsky stated, and I was assured that the schedule will be satisfactory.
The Jewish Agency Executive has considered the outstanding problems, Dr. Brodetsky concluded, and has carefully arrived at an understanding.
