Wider interpretation of the Balfour Declaration is likely to be one of the recommendations of the Palestine Inquiry Commission whose report is due almost any day now, according to a political correspondent of the “Daily News” which heads his story “Blow for the Jews in Palestine, Commission’s Report Favors Arabs.”

The “Daily News” writer says that the Commission takes the view that the time is not ripe for the Zionists to take control in Palestine. Aside from reservations said to have been made by the Labor member of the Commission, Harry Snell, the report is expected to be unanimous and will probably be regarded as generally favorable to the Arabs says the “Daily News” man who feels that the report may raise the entire question of the future of the British mandate in Palestine. The political writer for the “Daily Chronicle” reports that Harry Snell will either attach reservations to his signature or submit a minority report. He also says that the Commission is understood to have dealt with the whole question of the Mandate, the rivalry of the Jews and Arabs, including the land question.
