A conference to which neighboring countries are expected to send delegates, has been called for October 27th by the Palestine Arab Executive, declares “El Ahram” of Cairo.

The Arab paper declares that it is the intention of the conference to consider action against the regulations at the Wailing Wall, which the Arabs claim infringe on the status quo, and the collective punishment ordinance, and the proposed refusal to pay taxes. The conference will also voice its opposition to Jewish immigration, “especially against the youth brought by the Zionist Executive for defense purposes,” the paper declares. It will also consider a boycott of British goods.
