“UNJUST TO ARABS.” IRAQ PROTEST TO LEAGUE. GENEVA, Aug. 5. The Iraq Government has sent a Note to the League’s Mandates Commission emphatically protesting against the Royal Commission’s Palestine proposals. The Note describes the partition proposal as an injustice to the Arabs which Iraq could not view without alarm and adds that the proposals are incompatible with the integral independence of Palestine and hold out no hope of a permanent settlement. “Such hope depends on the recognition of an integral and independent Palestine in which the Jews accept once and for all a position of minority,” the Note states. ZIONISTS AND PALESTINE. DISCUSSIONS IN CAMERA. Received August 6, 9.45 a.m. ZURICH, Aug. 5. The Zionist Congress decided to discuss the political aspects of the Palestine proposals in camera.
