A plan for a “United Arabia” is propounded by the new Iraq Minister to London, Mazahim Bey. In an interview in the London “Observer,” the new Minister urges a federation of Iraq, Syria, Hedjaz, Nejd and Yemen.
When questioned regarding the difficult relations now existing between the leaders in Iraq and Ibn Suad, the Minister replied that in the Arabs’ movement toward unity, race is stronger than temporary antipathies between personalities.
