The decision of the recent meeting of the Jewish Agency’s Administrative Committee in Berlin to establish a special department in the Palestine Executive of the Jewish Agency to seek an understanding and cooperation with the Arabs is characterized by the English edition of the Arab paper, the Falastin, as “only a foolish attempt to deceive the Arabs and the world at large.”
The paper says that instead of this department on cooperation there should be a department to “preach moderation to the Revisionists and the Mizrachists. The Arabs want an Arab Federation. What is the attitude of the Jews in this matter?”
