Arab newspapers published in Beirut, which reached here today, carry a report stating that the Soviet Charge d’Affairs there has declared that his government will oppose the partitioning of Palestine into separats Jewish and Arab states.

Negotiations are now going on with the Syrian Government to permit Germans residing in Palestine to settle in Northern Syria, it was learned today. Apparently anticipating the establishment of a Jewish State which would include the section of Palestine where they are living, the Germans are reported to have proposed to the Syrian Government that they transfer their Palestine holdings to Arabs in Palestine in exchange for a land grant in Syria.
