Dr. John Haynes Holmes, pastor of the New York Community Church, who is in Palestine on a visit as the representative of Nathan Straus, met with Arab leaders today to discuss the Jewish-Arab relations in the country.

The Arabs, members of anti-Zionist bodies, expressed their opposition to the Zionist policy and to a continued immigration of Jews to the country. They also complained against the British government for the lack of representative institutions in the country.
