The Jews must change their policy, said Shaukat Ali, the Indian Moslem leader, who came to Palestine to attend the funeral of his brother, Mohamed Ali, who has been buried in the Mosque of Omar, when he addressed a meeting of the Moslem-Christian Association at Jaffa, where he is now on a visit accompanied by the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem. When he was in London, he said, he had seen Dr. Weizmann, because he was anxious to help in bringing about peace, but he had not known then the real situation in Palestine, nor the feeling of great hate towards the Jews as the result of their policy. The Moslem world stands behind you, Shaukat Ali said. The Grand Mufti, he added, intends to make Jerusalem the cultural centre of the Moslem world.
