PALESTINE COMMISSION
FIRST MEETING HELD (British Official Wireless.) Reed. 10 a.m. RUGBY, Oct. 6. The Palestine Royal Commission held its first, meeting to-day. The meeting, which was private, was devoted to tlie discussion of questions of procedure and other preliminary matters. ARMISTICE PROPOSAL ARAB PROCLAMATION LONDON, Oct. 7. The Manchester Guardian's Jerusalem correspondent says it is reliably reported thai an armistice proclamation, arising from the Arab King's mediation, will be issued within 24 hours by the higher Arab committee.
The King approved the text yesterday, but the Iraq Prime Minister, Jassim Pasha Al Hashimi, suggested a modification, hence tho slight delay. It is understood that the proclamation appeals for an armistice only, after which the Arabs will await some indication of Britain's "good intention" for a final settlement.
