Parliament for Palestine: Passionate Demand by Palestine Arab Leader Replied to by High Commissioner

January 29, 1932
See Original Daily Bulletin From This Date

The Office Committee of the Palestine Arab Eexecutive, including the President, Moussa Kazim Pasha, and the Secretaries, Mr. Jemal Husseini and Auni Bey Abdul Hadj, had an interview to-day with the High Commissioner, General Sir Arthur Wauchop, to urge on him their demanda in regard to the future Constitution of Palestine and the Palestine Development Scheme.

Auni Bey Abdul Hadi made a passionate plea for the establishment of a Parliament for Palestine, the J.T.A. understands, but the High Commissioner’s reply appears to have been very non-commital.

Before receiving the Arab representatives, the High Commissioner invited Dr. Arlossoroff, the head of the Palestine Zionist Executive, to visit him, the interview lasting about an hour and a half.
