Prince Halib, former chancellor of Hedjaz and descendant of the kings of Antioch 2,000 years ago, has arrived in London to seek the Government’s permission to put a pan-Arab plan into action. The 58-year-old prince declared that if Arabia were united there would be plenty of room for Jews and Arabs.
The influence of a state where all Semitic races–Jews, Mohammedans and Christian were united would be immense, Prince Halib said. “Everything is ripe for uniformity. The people would welcome it. At present, in a land where 120,000,000 people used to live and be rich, 18,000,000 live in poverty.”
