Palestine Arab leaders, who conferred here last night with Egyptian officials, were understood today to have asked the Egyptian Government to mediate with Great Britain on the Palestine question before the British Government issues its statement of policy. It was learned that they asked the Egyptians to obtain a shorter transitional period than contemplated before establishment of an independent state and a better type of Jewish immigrants, namely, capitalists.
The conferees were Premier Aly Maher Pasha and Amin Osman Pasha, who recently flew to Beirut to see the ex-Mufti of Jerusalem, and Yacoub Ghussein and Hussein Khalidi, Palestine Arab leaders.
