A FLAT DENIAL OF A PUBLISHED REPORT REGARDING NEGOTIATIONS BETWEEN DR. JUDAH L. MAGNES, PRESIDENT OF THE HEBREW UNIVERSITY, AND THE ARAB DELEGATION IN GENEVA, SEEKING A BASIS FOR A ROUND-TABLE MEETING BETWEEN JEWS AND ARABS, WAS ISSUED TODAY BY DR. MAGNES. HE CALLED THE REPORT “A COMPLETE FALSEHOOD.”

DR. MAGNES STATED THAT IN THE FIRST PLACE HE HAD NOT BEEN IN GENEVA SINCE APRIL, AND SECONDLY, HE HAD NOT NEGOTIATED WITH THE ARAB DELEGATION THERE OR ANYWHERE ELSE, EITHER ON THE TERMS MENTIONED IN DAVAR, PALESTINIAN LABORITE DAILY, OR ANY OTHER TERMS.
