A “defense army” divided into two parts, will start a tour of Palestine from the North and the South, on the second day of Nebi Musa, one of the most important Moslem festivals, according to advices in the Arab press. Both groups will meet at the end of ten days at Tulkarem, where an Arab youth congress is to be held. The “army” will aim at awakening the national spirit of the fellaheen and will urge them to keep their lands and boost Arab-made products.
