Haj Aminel Husseini, exiled ex-Mufti of Jerusalem, told the Associated Press in Karnayel, Syria, yesterday: “The Arabs welcome the idea of negotiations but they would also welcome an armistice to permit me with other banished leaders to join the. negotiations among arab representatives. i believe an arab-british-Jewish conference would be helpful, but Palestine Arabs must be justly represented, regardless of persons.” the arab Palestine Defense Committee in Damascus issued a manifesto warning of a world insurrection of Arab peoples if Britain should give the Jews any territory in attempting settlement of the Palestine crisis.
