Violence in Palestine
WASHINGTON (JTA) — A
threat that violence will develop
in the Middle. East if a Jewish
State is established in Palestine,
or if large-scale Jewish immigra-

memorandum submitted to Sec-

by the legations of Egypt, Iraq,
Syria and Lebanon, which was
made public here.
After expressing the great in-
terest that all the Arab states,
the Arab League and the Moslem
world have in the Palestine ques-
