The Syrio-Palestine Committee, the body which has maintained the anti-Zionist opposition since the issuance of the Balfour Declaration is now disorganized because of internal difficulties.

The Secretariat of the League of Nations was notified by the Syrio-Palestine Executive Committee that it recalls the credentials of Emir Chekib Arslan, Ishan Djabis and Riad Soul, who had represented the committee in Geneva.

The committee had in recent years continually sent memoranda to the League of Nations against Zionism. The executive, which has headquarters in Cairo, has split into two factions.
