Commission Adjourns Without Discussing British Memorandum (Jewish Telegraphic Agency)
With the conclusion of the sessions of the Permanent Mandates Commission here the controversay between the Commission and the British Government on the question of the mandated territories apparently remains unsettled.
The Permanent Mandates Commission closed its sessions without discussing the British memorandum and it is understood that the Commission has by no means been converted to the British view.
The wording of the British Govern-League is rather sharp. The questionnaire of the Mandates Commission, the memorandum declarer, is based on the Mandates Commission’s misconception of its duties and responsibilities. The memorandum further expresses the hope that the Mandates Commission will not see the British observations as unfriendly or deprecatory.
On the subject of the hearing of the petitioners from the mandated territory, which has been the chief cause of dispute between the British Government and the Mandates Commission, the Memorandum says that even if the Commission abandons the hearing of petitioners individual members are entitled to receive private information regarding matters relating to mandated districts.
