Dr Weizmann regretted that the conference had opened before the restoration of law and order in Palestine. ARAB CASE RIGHT TO GOVERN DEMANDED. BRITISH TJE MUST BE BASED ON JUSTICE. (Received This Day, 12.55 p.m.) WINNIPEG. February 13. Unless the Arab’s right to govern Palestine is recognised, the whole Arab world will bo forced into a desperate struggle with Britain, states Fuad Chalil Mufarri, of Damascus, secretary of the Arab National Bureau, in an address before the Institute of International Affairs. '■Such, a struggle,” he said, "would be unfortunate for Britain, if London desires to preserve an interest in the Suez Canal and in the air route to India. The Arabs would prefer the British tie if based on justice, but will nfit premit it to be used for subjection and colonisation. Britain had no right to promise the Jews part of Palestine.”
