The Arab delegation now in London is pleased with the report and it thinks that the report treats the Arabs very fairly in so much as it relieves them of any responsibilities for the disturbances. But regarding the blame attached to them for explaining their grievances to the people and thus creating the excitement that culminated in the disturbances the delegation does not think this a serious accusation because it considers it the bounden duty of the political or religious leaders to explain from their own standpoint.

They object, however, to the manner in which the Dead Sea and Rutenberg concessions have been treated by the commissioners who regarded the matter from one angle only without studying the question deeply. On Snell’s reservations the Arab delegation asserts that even before his appointment to the commission he was pro-Zionist.
