GENEVA, August 25.-A sharp clash
of opinion on responsibility for the
bloody Palestine disorders of last Au-
gust was disclosed officially today when
the League of Nations published its
Mandate Commission report on an ex-
animation of the situation, with the
British governments comments on the
report which will be placed before the
League Council next month.
The Mandate Commission, composed
of the strongest powers OF the League,
accused the British government Of hav-
ing failed in its administration of the
Palestine mandate specifically in failing
to satisfy the political aspirations of
the Arabs, in failing to procure security
for persons and property, for establish
ment of the Jewish Home and for be-
ing taken by surprise by the outbreak
of last August.
Henderson Replies.
Secretary Henderson, replying. tersely
for his government, declared the Com
mission itself did not foresee the August
trouble and that the Commission in
ings of the Shaw Commission and ac-
cepted the declarations presented by
Jewish agencies upon which the gov
eminent had no chance to comment
MFR. Henderson pointed out the diff
Guilty OF satisfying the political ambi-
tions of the Arabs and at the same
time advancing the cause Of Jewish
national home, while carrying out
orders OF the League of Nations to
maintain the rights of all inhabitants
OF Palestine regardless Of race and re-
ligion.
The League Council, to which the re-
port will be presented, will begin it's
session on September 8, but the report
will not be considered until near the
close Of the meeting, probably about
October /, after the end of the League
Assembly session.
The British government, commenting
on the report, considers the charge Of
partial inaction "the more surprising
in view Of the fact that the mandates
commission, although having examined
the mandatory's report from year TO
year, has not foreshadowed in any way
the charges now brought against the
manner in which the mandatory power
has been carrying out its obligations"
The subject of the Wailing Wall was
dealt with by the commission and by
the British rejoinder as well. Quarrels
over the Wailing Wall, the commission
report declares, "the symbolic signifi-
canoe of which was not evident in its
full gravity to foreign observer" gave
rise among the inhabitants of Jeru-
salem, land through them, throughout a
large part of the Palestine, to q state
of nervousness and suppressed excite
ment likely on an early occasion to
develop into an outbreak of violence. "
Arab Demands Involved.
Dealing with the commissions asser-
ton that. political disappointments pro-
voked Arab resentment against the
mandatory power, Secretary Henderson
observed that the commission failed
to take account of the paramount i'm
portance hitherto attached by Arab
leaders TO the political issue and ig-
nored the fact that the demands of
the Arabs have always been for a par
ticular form of representative institu-
tons which would be plainly incom-
patible with execution of the mandate.
Repeated offers of his majesty's gov
eminent to associate the Arabs and
Jews in form of representative gov
eminent which would be compatible
