A conference of Arab land-owners held in Jaffa today took an oath on the Koran “not to sell land and to prevent other Arabs from selling their land, except to Arabs.”
An article in the leading Arab newspaper, Falastin, today emphasizes that “the Arabs do not want any industrialization of Palestine.” The paper argues that “the industrial development of Palestine Arabs is only resulting in anarchy and in creating tense relations between Arab employers and employees.”
Another article in the same paper demands the abolition of the Palestine Mandate. “Twenty-five years of the mandatory system have made the Arabs in Palestine fit to conduct their own political life,” the article states.
A Nazi radio broadcast heard here today reported that “two Arabs killed a notorious Jewish informer in Palestine.” Investigation has established that the report is untrue. It is evidently part of the Nazi propaganda aimed at inciting the Arab population in Palestine against the Jews.
