Five Palestine Arabs leaders, who arrived here yesterday after being released by the British Government from internment in the Seychelles Islands, said today they had been invited to attend the Palestine conferences in London in their capacity as members of the Moslem Supreme Council, but were withholding their acceptance pending a telephone talk with the exiled ex-Mufti of Jerusalem. The French Government, they said, had refused to permit them to interview the ex-Mufti in Beirut. They also declared they were working our a common program for Arabs in the Near East with the ex-Mufti’s approval. The Arab leaders, who received an enthusiastic reception from Arabs here, are Ahmed Hilmi Pasha, Dr. Hussein Hkalidi, Fuad Saba, Hashid Ibrahim and Yacoub Hussein.
