Following informal talks this morning, it was earned that delegates to the Arab conference which is mapping a program for the London negotiations have accepted Egyptian Premier Mohammed Mahmoud Pasha’s proposal not to insist on the participation of the ex-Mufti of Jerusalem, an exile in Syria, whom the British Government banned as an Arab representative at the negotiations. The Egyptian delegation to London will be headed by Prince Abdul Moneim, son of the former Khedive Abbas Hilmi, since the Premier is being detained in Cairo by the local political situation.
