Further Jewish immigration into Palestine was opposed today in a communique issued by the conference of Arab rulers, which concluded last night at King Farouk’s country estate. The communique said that Britain should be compelled to carry out the terms of the White Paper.
The Arab statement added that Palestine was an Arab country and urged all Arab countries to join in the struggle to defend its interests. IN a thinly veiled threat, it expressed the hope that Britain and the United States would take no action on Palestine which would compel the Arabs to carry out measures which would “imperil world peace.”
