The Premier of Egypt today addressed a protest to the Democratic and the Republican parties of the United States criticizing the planks on Palestine which the two parties adopted at their national conventions in Chicago. The protest was sent not in the name of the Egyptian Government, but of the Wafd Party.
The Egyptian Premier insists in his protest that Palestine would not solve the Jewish problem and that the attitude of the American political parties in supporting the Jewish claims on Palestine is only “frustrating the Arabs.” He warns that the Arab world will act against “the attempt to dispossess the Palestine Arabs” and emphasizing the religious and historical importance of Palestine for the Moslems, adds that “a painful impression would be created among Moslems and Christians throughout the entire world, should Palestine be given to Jews.” A similar protest was sent today by the Premier to the British Labor Party which advocates the transfer of Palestine Arabs to neighboring Arab lands.
