Two delegations of Palestinian Arabs, sent to India and Mesopotamia for the purpose of collecting funds for the Arab Executive of Palestine, returned today from their trips, and reported the success of their mission. The delegation that went to India brought back the sum of 25,000 pounds; the delegation that was sent to Mesopotamia brought the sum of 5,000 pounds.
At the headquarters of the Arab Executive, it was declared, before the correspondent of the Palestine Telegraphic Agency, that the Arab Congress, which is to convene July 2oth will have to consider the problem or reorganizing the anti-Zionist Arab movement into a world movement which will embrace all the Arab communities outside of Palestine.
The methods which will be used in the promotion of this movement will be modeled after the movement of the World Zionist Organization. The Arabs intend to copy the institution of the “Golden Book” where contributors to the Arab cause will have their names inscribed.
The Congress will also have to decide upon the commencement of a propaganda for the creation of an Arab Legion in Palestine similar to the Jabotinsky Jewish Legion.
“Our Executive,” the Arab leaders declared, “will organize special political, economic and educational departments under paid executives.”
