An army is already raised in Egypt ready td respond, to any call for lielp from kx&h Palestine, Sheikh Abflul Sattar, vice-president of the Moslem brotherhood, told a gathering_ of more than a thousand Arabs. Sattar, speak ing classical Arabic and clasping the Korau, said any infringement of the rights of the Arabs of Palestine, was a threat to Aloslems and Arabs everywhere. "A'torrent will flow from the Moslem world if harm befalls Palestine," he said. "Syria is on the right and Egypt on the left. There is nothing to prevent us from saving you. " The chairman of the Arab Higher Commiltee, Jamal Husseini, announced to the press that Ibn Saud had sent a message describing the Palestine report as unf.urpassed in injustice, adding: "'We, by Allah's grace, shall not wavei to do everything possible. " Husseiu. said Ibn Saud's message was indicative of the feeling of the entire Arab world "Our only hope is to face east becauthe west has completely sold 11s out to the .Teivs, " he said. Asked whether tlie Arab Higher Committee would be sending a delegate to Aloscow, Husseini said the question would be raised at a special meeting of the conmiittee on May S.
