Strong criticism of the form of the recently announced Palestine legislative council was expressed today by L. S. Amery, former British colonial secretary, in a letter to The Times.
He maintained that the council would be “a stultification of ourselves and a betrayal of those who have placed their faith in us.”
He advocated complete autonomy for each Palestine community.
