The recent proposal of Dr. Albert Einstein, in a letter to the English section of the Arab paper “Felestin,” proposing a secret council of eight, four Jews and four Arabs, to work out a solution to the Palestine problem, is criticized as unpractical by the “Felestin,” which blames the eminent scientist for meddling in political matters.

The essential reason for its impracticability, says the “Felestin,” is the fact that the Arabs “want to carry out their national aims and the Jews oppose them. The Arabs want three things: a parliament, the prevention of the sale of land to the Jews, and the minimization of immigration. The Jews are our antagonists in these things.”
