Col. Frederick H. Kisch and Dr. David Yellin, who conferred with British government officials on the question of the Wailing Wall, in behalf of the Zionist Congress, returned to Zurich.
Before his departure, Col. Kisch told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency correspondent that Dr. Yellin and he had completed their mission as far as was possible on the London end. They were also received by the High Commissioner of Palestine, Sir John Chancellor, who is now on a visit to London.
The Jewish Telegraphic Agency understands that the delegation endeavored to secure a reopening of the entire Wailing Wall problem so that it may be settled in accordance with the terms of the Mandate. By permitting the Moslems to renew their work at the Wall, which includes the opening of a door to the other end of the Wall, the Jewish rights of undisturbed worship are being infringed upon, as the opening of the blind passage will turn the place into a public road. The entire issue ought to be reopened.
