AMENDMENT MOVED.
OPPOSITION CRITICISM. Received May 23, 12.20 p.-m LONDON, May 22. My Tom Williams (Labour) moved an Opposition amendment, m the House of Commons, declaring that as the proposals were inconsistent with the letter and spirit of the mandate. Parliament should not be committed to them before examination by the League Mandates Commission. Mr Williams said that Mr MacDonald had destroyed what took Allied statesmanship years to build up. Jews would become dependent on the benevolence of the Mufti’s supporters. Mr James De Rothschild (Liberal) suggested that Mr MacDonald ask the League to make Palestine a British colony. He added that a permanent British rule under which neither Jew nor Arab, need fear domination from the other was the only satisfactory safeguard.
