Issa Bendak, editor of the Christian-Arab paper Sout Aschaab published in Bethlehem, and one of the Arab delegation to the United States with Emir Ardel Arslan, officially reported today that the delegation’s mission had been a financial failure.

The delegation came to the United States last Spring on behalf of the Grand Mufti’s party to raise funds and propagandize the Arab cause.
