A possibility of the British Government reconsidering the entire Palestine problem is hinted at to-day by the Arab paper “Sowt el Ashab”, in revealing that the tendency of the Palestine Arab leaders is not to sabotage the negotiations with the Government, suggesting that the new developments which are expected will enable the Arab leaders to enter into official parleys with the Government next week.

From another source, the J.T.A. learns that the Government has communicated to the Arabs its intention to form a Development Commission with the powers of a Government Department, with a British Chairman and one Arab and one Jewish Adviser.
