GREATER SYRIA PLAN
“ WAY TO BUILD ARAB FEDERATION ” KING ABDULLAH’S STATEMENT BAGDAD, June 11. Kling Abdullah of Transjordan has announced •that he has ordered the official publication of a White Paper urging the establishment of a Greater Syria (a federation of Iraq, Transjordan, and part of Palestine). “Greater Syria must be built up whatever the cost. It is the only way gradually to build an Arab federation,” he said. “An Iraq-Transjordan treaty is the first step. The second step is Greater Syria. I aim only at a federation of Arab countries. I do not aim to become King of Greater Syria.” King Abdullah urged the Arab states not to boycott the United Nations factfinding committee which will meet in Jerusalem on June 16. “Do not yield an inch of ground on the demand for Arab rights in Palestine,” he said.
