DEFIANT ARABS
OBJECTION TO THE JEWS. SUGGESTED BOYCOTT. (By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) Received March 28 10.10 a.m. JERUSALEM. March 27. A notable Arab, Sheik Mouzger, in a defiant speech at the Mosque of Omar, said: “We must beliove Allah, whose sacred book prophesied that tho Jews would bo dispersed and would never reassemble. Only by unity and quietness, and refraining- from violence can we light Earl Balfour.”
In a declaration the sheik advocated boycotting the Jews by refusing to sell them land for otherwise the mosques would be transformed into synagogues. He announced that he was sending a protest to the League of Nations to let the world know tho Arabs wore prepared to defend their cause to the death.—A. and N.Z. cable
