I have no knowledge of such a letter, and it is unlikely that without our knowledge such a letter would be sent, Miss Farquharson, the President of the National League, declared to a J.T.A. representative in connection with the alleged letter from the Grand Mufti in Jerusalem to the pro-Arab circles in London, who are grouped round the National League, outlining a scheme for an Arab-Jewish Round Table Conference in regard to Palestine. The suggestion that the
Grand Mufti and the Egyptian Ex-Khedive Abbas Hilmi are responsible for the proposals she described as a piece of anti-Arab propaganda.
Great Britain has a destiny and a great responsibility to fulfil in Palestine, she said, and to lay a clear and jus just foundation for the future of that country, irrespective of the Zionist claims. We have the support of many prominent members of both Houses of Parliament, she added.
