The presence of Jews in Palestine is a danger to the Christian Holy Places, the Haifa Arab paper, “El Carmel” writes to-day complaining of the rivalry between Catholics and protestants that has been revealed by the contnoversy over the Archbishop of Canterbury’s visit to Palestine.

All the Christian sects should unite with Islam, it says, in order to guard both the Christian and Moslem Holy Places in Palestine against the Jews. The Moslems will still have Mecca and Medina left if they should lose Jerusalem, but if the Christians lose Jerusalem they will have nothing left.
