The “Felestin,” Arab paper, publishes a letter today from a prominent Moslem leader urging the Arabs not to present their case before the Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry. Commenting on this communication the Palestine Bulletin writes, scouting the idea of sabotaging the Commission, “If there be one death under unusual circumstances, there is an inquest. When there is wholesale murder there should be an inquest on a grand scale. The refusal of the Arabs to appear before the Commission would be nothing less than criminal. It might also suggest the Arabs had no case, or one which would be laughed out of court.”
