Dr. Arlossoroff, speaking to Jewish press representatives, has declared on behalf of the Jewish Agency Executive, that to the best of his knowledge and belief neither the British Government, the Palestine Government, nor the Arab leadership, let alone the Executive of the Jewish Agency, had anything to do with these proposals. They were an anonymous concoction, he said, which an Indian Moslem journalist in London seems to have passed on to a Jewish journalist and they were made available to a number of people, including the Revisionists.
After a meeting of the Palestine Arab Executive, a statement has been issued by the President, Moussa Kazim Pasha, denying that the Arab Executive had seen or approved of any such scheme. The whole thing was a pure invention, he declares, and the Arab Executive wished to make it clear that neither the office of the Executive nor any individual members had ever met to consider the scheme, nor had it ever been put before them.
