Arabs Tiring Of Inspired Terrorism
(Received 11.30 a.m.) • ' LONDON, January 22. It is reported from Palestine that the Arab delegates for the London roundtable conference have reversed their earlier decision and have now decided not to attend. ! i Information which has reached circles in London interested in Near Eastern problems confirms the growing dissatisfaction of large sections of Arab opinion in Palestine, Syria, and elsewhere, with the continued intransigence of the policy pursued by the Grand Mufti and his associates, and with the prolongation of the terrorist campaign. Position Compromised. The feeling among many sections of Arab opinion is reported to be one of disappointment that the opportunity for a settlement offered by the forthcoming London discussions is being compromised by the continuation of terrorism. It is said that many Arabs are being led to ask whether the obstinacy of the Grand Mufti and his associates, in a policy which is thought to serve the cause of certain foreign Powers better than it does that of the Arabs, may not be due to self-interest.
