GUARDS FOR MUFTI

EGYPTIAN TROOPS ON DUTY STORY OF TALK WITH KING LONDON, June 21. “Egyptians armed with Bren guns and armouYed vehicles are guarding five residences in Egypt'in any one of which the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem may stay until a permanent home is prepared for him,” says Reuter’s Cairo correspondent. “Unauthorised persons are not allowed near the places. T?le Grand Mufti may already have used more than one of them.” The Arabic weekly, “Akhbar El Yum,” gives new details of the Mufti’s arrival at Abdin Palace. It says the Mufti came in a taxi. Officials, seeing the signature in the register, notified King Farouk, who called the Mufti to his study. The article adds that the Mufti told the King he did

not work for any foreign country but for the independence of Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Iraq, and other Arab countries. He did not hate the British and Americans, not even the Jews.

The Mufti left the palace by Royal car, after which King Farouk called the palace officials and told them the Mufti was his guest. The Mufti subsequently told a friend: “I came because I believed Egypt was the leader of the Arab countries, the heart of the Arab movement, and the seat of the Arab League.” The article adds that the Mufti sent

a code message of greetings to the Arab kings and leaders who met last month.
