COMBINED ARAB ARMY
REPORTED DECISION BY LEAGUE RESISTING «FOREIGN AGGRESSION ” (Rec. 11 p.m.) LONDON, June 27. The Arab League, meeting secretly at Bludan, near Damascus, adopted a plan for the formation of a combined Arab army to defend Palestine from “Zionist and other foreign aggression,” says Reuter’s Bagdad correspondent, quoting a “reliable informant.” The correspondent says that the League also agreed to break off political and economic relations with Britain and America unless the Palestine Commission’s report was turned down. The Arab Higher Committee, in a manifesto to “the Arab nation” declared that the sale of Arab lands to Jews was “a national crime of high treason, and punishable as such.” It added: “The situation is grave. The Jews have redoubled their efforts to acquire land by methods and means of which they are masters.” The manifesto urged Arabs to hold every inch of their land and to “frustrate the treacherous activities of land vendors and brokers.”
