ENGLAND'S TROUBLE INLEAGUE'S HANDS
To Discuss Difficulties in Carry- ing Out Palestine Mandate 7

hoHti Dec, .. tJeWlhu ltle- graphic agency) - Difficulties en- countered by Great Britain in carry Ing out the Palestine. mandate will be laid before the Council Of the League Of Nations when 1t meets here Dec, 8 In a report to be sub mtted by the Permanent Mandates Commission Of the League.
 The report, based on the report of Great Britain with regard to it's administration Of the mandate for the year 1923. will draw the par ticularF attention of the council to disputes which have arisen between zionists and leaders of the Arab population of Palestine with re- gard to immigration, the establish ment of a National Jewish Home and the claims of the Arabians that the action of the administration constitutes "a seizure by foreigners Of their traditional patrimony."
 A considerable stream of immi- grafton, mainly from eastern Eu- rope, Is providing Palestine with a new population which Is prepared neither by technical training nor tradition to contribute to the con- struction of the Jewish National Home" The report will add:
 Expresses Appreciation
 The commission is glad to ex- press Its appreciation of the efforts made by the mandatory to insure the application of the principle laid down in this article. It is bound 10 observe. however, that the immigration policy of the manda- tory gives rise to acute controversy while it does not afford entire satis- faction to the Zionists. The Zion ists feel that the establishment in Palestine of National Jewish Home Is the first duty of the man. datory, and manifest, therefore, a certain impatience at the difficulties sometimes placed in the way of immigration and the granting of land 10 immigrants.
 lt 1'lNS 10 ''J'N''b ny ''' Arab majority, which refuses to &C., cept the idea of Jewish National IIoule. ..
 Ut is obvious that had the man dstorv only 10 take into considera- ton the interest of the population, the immigration policy would be dictated not 50 much by racial con- alterations as by considerations of trade, professional attitudes and poHtical aftinites It is equally true that if the mandatory had not to take into account the interests of tho@ Arab population, and if it's sole duty was to encourage Jewish in- migration in the exclusive interests of these immigrants and the Jews already in Palestine, it might be in position as regards agrarian appropriation to pursue policy whiCha. would undoubtedly facilitate to a greater extent than it's present policy, the definite creation of Jewish National Home in Palcs- tinc."
 Questions of Education
 Other disputed points between Jews and Arabs the report will say. concern questions Of education, public works and the establishment Of an advisory or legislative coun- riI. When the latter point is raised, according to the report, "the Arabs decline their assistance unless they are assured representation in pro- portion 10 their numerical strength. whereas the administration cannot agree 10 the admission of a ma- jorilY resolved 10 oppose the cstab- lishmcnt in Palestine of a National Home for the Jewish people, task entrusted 10 1t by the terms of inc mandate"
 The report will say that il de sires 10 state that though there Is undoubtedly discontcnt in Fales- tine. 1t is in no way attributable 10 the Administration which is en- deaycrng faithfully 10 discharge the two-fold duty imposed on 1t under the mandate" and will add:
 "Thc Commission has noted with sausfaction the very definite state mcnt made by the accredited rep rescntativc on behalf of the ad- rninistration rcpudiating the de- signs of certain Zionist extremists for suppantine the Arabs in Paes- tm by the Jews. This declaration should. in the Commissions opin- ion. tend to 9llay the an%"ties which impcrt the peace of the country,
