The Palestine Arab Executive has rejected the offer of an Arab Agency on similar lines to the Jewish Agency, Jamal Effendi Al Husseini, the Secretary of the Palestine Arab Executive, has informed the Arab paper “Alif Ba.”

“The Palestine Arab Executive,” he states, “cannot consider the project of an Arab Agency because the Arabs are the sons and owners of the country and cannot agree to be put on an equal footing in the matter of political rights with the Jews who are strangers.”
