The Iraqi Government today announced through the Arab News Agency that its protest to Washington with regard to the Palestine resolution “has had satisfactory results.”

Hoth Jews and Arabs in Palestine are following with great interest the developments in connection with the protests by the governments of Egypt, Iraq, Syria and Lebanon. The attitude taken by Jewish circles, which is reflected in the Hebrew press today, is that the entire matter concerns only America and the form states involved. One newspaper, Hearatz, expresses the opinion that the protests of the Arab governments require no reply from Palestine Jews.

Sharp criticism is voiced in the Hebrew newspapers against the British news agency, Reuter’s, for the manner in which it has been handling Palestine political news. The Hebrew press charges the news agency with presenting only the Arab side of the Palestine question.
