POLICY IN PALESTINE
GUARDED STATEMENT MADE BY MR MACDONALD SEQUEL TO CONFERENCES IN LONDON. INFORMAL TALKS WITH ARAB STATES. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, April 19. Replying to a question in the House of Commons today the Colonial Secretary, Mr Malcolm MacDonald, stated that discussions on Palestine which took place recently in Egypt were not a continuation of the London conferences. He said that since the London conferences had ended, the Government had been considering future policy in Palestine. In informal discussions before they left London, the delegates of some of the neighbouring Arab States had expressed certain views and had raised certain points in connection with the Government’s intentions. The informal discussions which subsequently had taken place had been concerned with the elucidation of those points. Mr MacDonald declined to reveal at present the points raised by the Arab States and made it clear that it had been equally open to the Jewish Agency to raise points had it so wished.
