The Consul General at Jerusalem (Knabenshue) to the Secretary of State

Jerusalem, October 18, 1929—2 p.m.
[Received October 18—9:45 a.m.]

Inasmuch as the local law does not seem to afford adequate damages for injuries and loss of life suffered during the recent disturbances and since the character of the disturbances and other elements involved therein might justify international claims, will the Department please instruct me by telegraph whether I should make reservations in this respect to the Palestine Government before the expiration of the 2 months’ limit?
