The Arab Office in London today announced that it has submitted a protest to U.S. Ambassador John G. Winant against the film on Palestine release by the “March of Time”.

At the same time, the Arab Office informed the British Government that should the film be shown in Palestine, it will lead to repercussions. Arab leaders claim that the film” grossly misrepresented” the Arabs in a manner likely “to arouse contempt and antipathy for them.”

(Richard de Rouchemont, “March of Time” producer, said in New York that the film “Palestine Problem” was made-by two photographers, neither of whom is Jewish, who contacted both British and Palestinian Arabs.
