The refusal of the Palestine government to allow memorial meetings in honor of Lieutenant Fuad Salim. Arab leader, who fought with the Druzes against the French, caused protest on the part of the Palestine Arab Executive.
The Executive issued a proclamation yesterday to the Arial population of Palestine and sent a memorandum to Lord Plumer, protesting against the prohibition of the meetings.
“Fuad Salim who joined the Druzes in their fight against the French and fell at the Syrian front, rose to combat conquerors and robbers of the Arab people. The Arab people will ever remember this hero and also the evil done by Lord Plumber in prohibiting meetings to honor the memory of Fuad Salim,” the proclamation declared.
