A plan to set up a provisional Arab Government of Palestine in one of the neighboring Arab countries was rejected today at a meeting of the political sub-committee of the Council of the Arab League, which is now holding a conference to shape Arab policy toward the report of the Anglo-American inquiry committee.
It was reported that the conference is considering plane to call an Arab Peoples Congress in Baghdad as the third of a series of Arab political maneuvers to upset the Anglo-American committee’s recommendation.
Fares Bey Khoury, former Syrian Premier and head of Syria’s Arab delegation, is reported to have advised the sub-committee studying possible submission of the Palestine case to the United Nations to submit it to the General Assembly only, and not to the Security Council.
