§ 15. Colonel WEDGWOODasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether German schools in Palestine are still working; whether Germans are not interned, and will he make inquiries to hasten the full Report?
Mr. BALFOURAs I informed my hon. and gallant Friend a fortnight ago, all German schools have been taken over, and all male adults interned. I will make further inquiries about the full Report.
§ Colonel WEDGWOODThe answer given to me a week ago, not a fortnight ago, stated that the right hon. Gentleman had no information on the point. Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that the German papers say that these Germans are still in Jerusalem and that their schools are still working?
§ Colonel WEDGWOODYou said a week ago that you had asked for a Report but had not got it. Have you no further information?
Mr. BALFOURIn the answer to which I have referred, it was stated, not by me but by the Assistant Secretary of State, that all the German schools had been taken over and all male adults interned. That is evidently quite inconsistent with the Report which my hon. Friend appears 1786 to have obtained from the German papers. I am making further inquiries about the full Report.
