GREATER SYRIA PLAN: CRITICISM BY SAUDI ARABIA
JERUSALEM, August. 31. King Ibn Saud of Saudi Arabia, in a communique, charged King Abdullah of Transjordan with “creating discord among the Arab States at a critical time.”
King Ibn Saud was referring to King Abdullah’s announcement, on August 11, that he would soon issue a proclamation proposing a conference to plan the unity or federation of Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, and Transjordan. The announcement added that the conference would be asked to assign Palestine a place in the federation, making a certain and complete end of the danger of Zionism.
King Ibn Saud also charged King Abdullah with attempting to make “inroads” in Syria’s independence. The communique added: “The Saudi Arabian Government considers King Abdullah’s proclamation and call as openly contradictory to the covenant-of the Arab League and the United Nations Charter.”
