DIPLOMATS STUDY /. PALESTINE TREATY
State Department Considers New
 British Stand on Jews

Washing or. Nov. ! NP) State department officials are studying the Anglo-Amcrican convention on rights in Palestine 10 determine whether this government might properly make representations r"- earding tho dissatisfaction or Amer ican JaWry with Britain's recently announced policy there.
 America s interest in th" Jewish national homo lies in the fact that wealthy Jews here have contributed more than 55 per ccnr Of the ap- proXinately St7.0U0,o00 spent in im- proving the holy land sine" the Semitic migration there which be- gan in carly ~ost-war years. Com paratively few American JcHs have gone there. f was understood. European nations, notably Poland, have contributed tho bulk Of the new settlers
 Opposition to Great Britajus policy is based principally on that couutry's decision 10 curlajl future immigration 10 Palestine. This ac- tion was taken after Sir John Hopc Simpson mad" a report on the couutry's economic condition. He said Palestine already was crowded. that tho area Of productive land w21 very limited. and that hence immigration should be stopped. Even before this report vas mad". Great Britain. last May, temporarily suspended immigration and declined 10 admit some 600 persons, who. un- der previous custom, could have come in between May and Scptcm- ber, according 10 officials horc.
 Palestine is governed by Great Britain under q LoagUc Of Nations mandate. Rights extended hero under applied only 10 nationals or countries holding membership in the league. In order 10 obtai tho same rights for American Jews. the United States concluded convention with Great Britain in 1921. This conycn- tIo0 protects the property rights Of Americans and provides that the original mandate may not be chang cd without American sanction. The exact powers Of this country under the mandate. however, have not been determined by precedent and for that reason careful legal study Of it is being made before officials consider what action they may take.
