Emir Abdullah, ruler of Transjordan, is coming to London next month to lay before the British Government a plan for uniting Iraq, Transjordan and the greater part of Palestine into a single state, the Daily Mail reports today in a dispatch from Jerusalem.

A secret agreement has already been reached, between Iraq and Transjordan, according to the report, under which the two will gradually be brought together under one administration, with Emir Abdullah as ruler. The next stage would be a partition of Palestine, along the lines suggested in the Peel report of 1937, followed by a merger of the Iraq-Transjordan state with the Arab section of Palestine.
