§ Mr. HOPKINasked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies if his attention has been drawn to the fact that the Jewish newspaper, "The Davar," published in Palestine, has been suspended; who is responsible for the suspension; and what authority there is for such suspension?
§ Mr. LUNNMy attention has been drawn to statements to this effect. No report has been received from the High Commissioner, and in the absence of such a report I cannot say under what provision of the law action may have been taken. The general responsibility for any such action must rest with the High Commissioner as head of the Palestine Administration. If the management of the newspaper have any complaint to make, it is open to them to address to the Secretary of State, through the High Commissioner, a memorial, which he is bound to forward with his comments, and which will then receive full consideration.
