Parliamentary government in Palestine will not be harmful to the interests of Palestine Jewry, Musa Kazim Pasha, leader of the anti-Zionist Arab Executive, declared in an interview with the correspondent of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency today.
Commenting upon the memorandum submitted by the Arab Executive to the High Commissioner Lord Plumer in which the demand for a representative government in Palestine was again voiced, the anti-Zionist Arab leader asserted that “the Jews have no reason to fear a parliamentary government” because the British power is here and we expressly declared in our memorandum that we shall not infringe upon Great Britain’s international undertakings, which means also the Mandate. We shall treat the Jews on an equal footing if they go with us. We shall be their friends. However, immigration to Palestine should be allowed only in accordance with the country’s economic capacity. We oppose the admission of such numbers as eight to ten thousand immigrants yearly.” he declared.
When asked what will the Palestine Arabs do if the demand for a Parliament is rejected, Musa Kazim stated, “We shall continue peacefully demanding it. We shall not use dynamite. When the new High Commissioner Sir John Robert Chancellor arrives, we shall resume negotiations.”
