A PAN-ARAB CONGRESS SCHEDULED TO BE HELD IN DAMASCUS, SYRIA, TO “COUNTERACT” THE EFFECTS OF THE WORLD ZIONIST CONGRESS, HAS BEEN POSTPONED BECAUSE OF FAILURE TO OBTAIN A MEETING PLACE. SYRIA AND IRAQ REFUSED TO GIVE PERMISSION FOR THE HOLDING OF THE CONGRESS. SUPPORTERS OF GRAND MUFTI HAJ AMIN EL HUSSEINI ABROAD ARE SEEKING A PLACE FOR THE CONGRESS.
