London, Sept. 7.
Times," which regards the report of the Mandates Commission as another step towards cutting the Palestine knot, says: "Broadly speak-the League Council's advise have admitted, somewhat grudgingly perhaps, that the partition is the possible solution of the Palestine problem. They have admitted, however, only the principle and it is only on the question of the principle that the British Government are committed.
It now rests with the League Council to consider the question with the observations of the Mandates Commission before it. Should the Council raise no objections, the next step would be the setting up of boundary commissions which would advise on details of the partition.
These details and the work of the boundary commissions must be nego-fiated between the British Government and both Jews and Arabs. There is long and difficult work ahead whatever decisions are reached at Geneva, and all that work will be the vain of the objective of conciliation is lost sight of.
The impressive final exhortation of the Commission. "The Times" conclude: should be heard by both parties as the considered advice of Judges as impartial, non-political and dispassionate as could be found."—Wireless Through Reuter 1 am confident that every attention has been given by the postal officials to bring the mail to this port with the least possible delay
