In order to save Palestine from “falling into the hands of the Zionists,” Arabs of the country are advised in an article printed in Falastin, local Arabic daily, to cooperate among themselves in economic enterprises.
It is pointed out that Arabs command a capital of some £5,000,000, invested in banks, which they could employ to Arab advantage. Formation of a land purchase company for transactions only among Arabs, with a capital of £150,000, is suggested and a financing plan is outlined.
