An outright demand for cancellation by Britain of its pledge to establish a Jewish National Home in Palestine, which is contained in the Palfour Declaration, is made today in a manifesto issued by the Palestine Arab Party.
The manifesto also calls for the establishment of an Arab Government of Palestine and the affiliation of an independent Palestine state with the projected Arab federation, plans for which are expected to be discussed in Cairo late this month or early in August when representatives of all Arab states meet there.
In this connection, it is reported today that Auni Bey Abdul Hadi, Palestine Arab extremist leader, is expected to leave for Cairo shortly. It is not known whether his visit has any political significance, although he plans to remain there for a month, which would cover the period during which the pan-Arab Congress is to be held. Palestine will not be represented at the conference since the various Arab parties here have been unable to agree on a unified delegation.
The usually well-informed Arab news magazine Akhersaa writes that Iraq would welcome Jewish settlement in Mesopotamia provided Syria and Lebanon form an integrated state. Transjordan might also consider admitting Jewish immigrants, the publication says.
