Tbe Colonial Secretary (Mr Malcolm MacDonald), at tbe Palestine conference, discussing tbe Arab demand for an independent State, said the demand advanced certain general suggestions, which, it was made clear, were not in any way to be regarded as proposals, but were designed to show, in tbe light of tbe existing facts, what might be an alternative to tbe Arab claims. The Minister added that the Palestine Arabs represented that the existence of an independent Arab State would not be incompatible with the security of the Jewish minority.
