The report of the Permanent Mandates Commission of the League of Nations on Palestine has not been just to the British Administration and the Zionist Organization, declared a high official of the British Foreign Office before a gathering of press representatives at 10 Downing Street today. Asked whether the report of the Mandates Commission will result in a new policy of the British Administration of Palestine to restrict Jewish immigration into the country, the high official stated, “I am not yet certain.

“With regard to the selection of suitable immigrants for Palestine, Austen Chamberlain submitted to the Council information obtained from the High Commissioner, following which the Council recognized that the British administration of Palestine is already doing what this report recommends”, the high official further stated.
