Mouzza Kazim Pasha, president of the Arab Executive, has been named chairman of the delegation of six that will be sent to London to plead the Arab case. The other members of the deputation named by the Arab Executive are the Grand Mufti, Jamal Husseini, secretary of the Arab Executive, Mayor Nashashibi of Jerusalem, Alfred Roch, a Christian, and Auni Abdul Hadi, one of the staff of counsel for the Arabs at the Inquiry Commission hearings.
The delegation, aside from the lone Christian, is equally divided between the opposition and the Mufti’s party, the latter having waived its original demand that the Mufti should head the delegation. With the final appointment of the delegation, there ends what at one time appeared to be an irreparable break in the ranks of the Arab Executive growing out of dissatisfation with the complexion of the delegation. Two of those originally appointed had resigned and the president, vice-president and secretary of the Arab Executive had also quit. Peace-makers patched up the trouble, and a new election smoothed the troubled waters.
