The League Council Meeting
At Monday's meeting of the Council of the League the unfortunate impression made by the Report on Palestine by the Mandates CointhisSiOn was to softie extent removed by the speech of M. Procope, the rapporteur, who empha- sized the parts of the Report favourable to Great Britain. Mr. Henderson made it clear in his reply that the suspension of Jewish immigration is temporary. Then various speakers expressed confidence in Great Britain. An awkward corner has thus been turned. Both the Mandates Commission and Great Britain, in their different spheres preserve their authority and dignity unimpaired. On Tuesday there was some criticism of the conduct of the Mandate held by South Africa for what was German South-West Africa. And the German representative announced that he would have something to say later on the proposal for closer union in East Africa.
