The recently elected Arab delegation that is to be sent to London early next month is not entitled to speak for all the Arabs of Palestine, says a telegram sent today to the British Colonial Office on behalf of the Arab opposition conference in Nazareth in which some seventy delegates participated.
Simultaneously a number of important Arab notables from Acre have petitioned the Arab Executive to summon an extraordinary Arab conference to consider whether the delegation is necessary. The petitioners ask that the conference be held in Jaffa under the vice-chairmanship of Omar Beitar.
