The existence of a special club of Arabs in Palestine whose members seek to marry Jewish girls was disclosed here yesterday when four Arabs from Jaffa reached Warsaw as the result of their serious effort to search for Jewish brides in Poland.

The four arrivals made their way to this country through Danzig and entered Polish territory illegally. They were arrested here, but after explaining to the authorities the purpose of their trip, they were permitted to remain until they find Jewish girls willing to marry them.

The Arabs have expressed the belief it will not be difficult for them to find Jewish brides since many Jewish girls in Poland are anxious to migrate to Palestine and could be admitted there only if married to Palestinian citizen. The girls whom they seek to marry must, first of all, be rich, the Arabs announced.
