RACIAL CONFLICT
JEWS AND THE ARABS. MOSLEM INTERVENTION. (United Service). Received August 27, 2 p.m. LONDON, Aug. 26. An eyewitness of the Jerusalem disturbances says that the credit for preventing a general bloody outbreak in the whole Arab world is largely due to the Moslem authorities of Jerusalem. On Friday Husseini. the Grand Mufti, toured the walls of the Holy City, imploring the Arabs to be quiet, but he was greeted with hostile shouts of: “You are sold to the British and the Jews!” He is the national hero of Palestine and Trans-Jordania, and is therefore able to speak for peace. He even forbade the call to prayer on Friday night and only the Christian bells were heard in a terrified Jerusalem. The eyewitness, emphasising the fearful responsibility resting on the Zionist Fascists, states that comparatively few real Jews appeared at the wall, which was crowded with brawny young Fascisti from the Colonies anxious to fight.
