PALESTINE COMMISSION
APPEAL TO ARABS. fBY CABLE —PRESS ASSN. —COPYRIGHT.] JERUSALEM, November 13. There was a scene at the opening sitting of the Royal Commission. The Italian Consul-General, Signor Mazzolini, walked out on discovering his chair was placed next that of the Abyssinian representative. Both had been invited as guests. As the Abyssinian was absent, two chairs were vacant. Lord Peel, the chairman, appealed to the Arab leaders to reconsider their decision to boycott the commission, declaring that, it would be most unfortunate if the commission were compelled to arrive at conclusions and make decisions without the Arabs’ assistance. Ho emphasised that the commission’s terms of reference were wide, and -would be interpreted broadly and comprehensively. The sittings would be in public, unless the witnesses preferred to testify privately. Everything would be translated into Arabic and Hebrew.
