A new split developed yesterday among Arab leaders on the method of selecting a delegation which J. H. Thomas, British Colonial Secretary, has invited to London for conferences in May on the proposed legislative council.

Both sides decided to submit memorandums to High Commissioner Sir Arthur Grenfell Wauchope seeking his decision in the matter.
