The Secretary of State to the Consul General at Jerusalem (Knabenshue)
Washington, October 22, 1929—1
p.m.
Your October 18, 2 p.m. While the Department considers that American citizens should take advantage of the opportunity to have their claims passed upon by the Commissioner, it does not consider that any claim for injury to person or property of an American citizen would be barred from further consideration on its merits if it should develop that the award of the Commissioner is inadequate or that insufficient time has been allowed for presentation of the claim. You may so inform the Palestine Government.
