The examination of the Palestine reports was continued by the Permanent Mandates Commission at its session yesterday. Sir John Shuckburgh, British delegate to the session, continued to answer questions of the various members of the Commission concerning Palestine affairs.
Among the questions raised were the application of the Palestine Citizenship Ordinance, the standard of wages of Jewish and Arab workers in Palestine, the status of the labor organization and the purposes for which the Palestine government loan of £4,500,000 is to be used. The Commission also began the examination of the petition submitted by the Palestine Arab Executive.
