Transcribed from the clipping
“Jerusalem—(JTA)—Encouraged by the developments in Lebanon, where the parliament last week declared the mandate of the League of Nations to be non-existent and proclaimed its complete sovereignty despite the opposition of the French administration, the Arabs in Palestine this week issued a demand that a National government be established in Palestine.
The demand was voiced in a resolution adopted at a conference of representatives of the Arab Chambers of Commerce in Palestine.
The resolution also urged the British government to implement the White Paper by officially announcing the complete stoppage of Jewish immigration to Palestine… Meanwhile, the Palestine press reported that French military authorities in Lebanon have banned all the Hebrew newspapers arriving there from Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.”
Context added by this archive
A national government, demanded by name, in 1943, by the Arab Chambers of Commerce.
