The Moslem delegation from India, which is coming to Palestine and England to foster the Arab nationalist cause in this country and is headed by Maulana Shawkat Ali, well-known Moslem agitator, has postponed its trip until November so as to be able to meet Parliamentary and Ministerial figures in London after the Summer vacations.

Arab circles here say that the true purpose of Shawkat Ali’s mission is to advocate support of the candidacy for the Caliphate of all Islam, vacant since the abdication of the Turkish ex-Sultan Abdel Mejid.
