ing forward to- carrying on it's opposi-
ton to the granting to Great Britain of |
the Palestine mandate, met in Jeru- |

to Great Britain and the Syrian man

more than three weeks after this letter
from Jerusalem was written. The Earl |
Of Balfour, in outlining Great Britains |
policy in Palestine before the council,
