REFUGEE PROBLEM
SETTLEMENT BEFORE PEACE CONFERENCE
ARABS NAME CONDITIONS Rec. 9 p.m. NEW YORK, Mar. 26. The Arab countries have informed the Palestine Conciliation Commission that they will not attend a full-scale peace conference before the problem of 750,000 Arab refugees is settled. The commission spokesman said no decision on the refugees was expected until the commission had studied the Arab cases and consulted further with Israel. Reuter's Amman correspondent says it is understood that the Egyptian delegation to the Arab refugee discussions in Beirut suggested a form of Arab League trusteeship over a separate Palestine Arab State. The trusteeship plan, which would operate under United Nations mandate, envisages financial, economic and military assistance from the league members amounting at the start to £5,000,000 a year, and gradually diminishing as conditions return to normal. SaudiArabia and Syria support the plan.
