Arabs Threaten
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-
tion is allowed, is contained in a
memorandum submitted to Sec-
retary of State James F. Byrnes
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-
tion, the memorandum states:
"Regarding the peace of the
Near East in general, and of the
Arab world in particular, one
principle is certain: There ob-

Zionist political state can be cre-
ated in Palestine, but only with
the help of external force. Such
an artificial creation, or even the
introduction of further Jewish
