PALESTINE PLAN OPPOSED
EGYPTIAN’S FEAR OF CONSEQUENCES POSSIBILITY OF POGROMS (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright) (Received September 19, 6.30 p.m.) GENEVA, September 18. ’A feature of the morning session at the League of Nations Assembly was an attack on the British Palestine plan by the Egyptian Foreign Minister (Boutros Ghahi Pasha), who declared that it would increase the hatred between the Jews and the Arabs. Boutros Ghali Pasha expressed the fear that the creation of a Jewish State would encourage “certain countries” to intensify pogroms against the Jews. The Egyptian suggested that instead of a partition Britain should negotiate a direct treaty with Palestine as a whole, recognizing its sovereignty, guaranteeing the rights of Jews, Moslems and Christians alike and regulating the restriction on immigration.
