BRITISH BREAK With
HEDJAZ king, CLAIM
Mandates For Mesopotamia
And Palestine Bring
Protests.

London, Feb. S.-Prince Emir
,!Eeisal, former King of Syria, in be-
! half OF his father, King Hussein, OF
the Hedjaz, has protested to the Brit
ish government against the mandates
for Mesopotamia and Palestine, con-
tending they are not in accordance
with the pledges given to Hussein by
\ the British government. The Arabs,
he adds, do not object to help from
Great Britain and desire the continu-
ance of the alliance existing during
the war. He suggests that the great
expenditure Great Britain is making
might be saved "by helping the
Arabs to form government of their
own under British advisors for terri
tories in question"
Such a solution, he urges, would
realize the Arab aspirations, meet
the approval of the British taxpayer
and redeem the pledges Of the British
government.
1.-THE Arabs, in return, do not ex-
pect a subsidy" says the prince, "but
merely government loan guaranteed
by the riches of Mesopotamia which
soon will become a second Egypt"
Arabs vindictive Race
London, Feb. S.-Emir Feisal, the
most prominent leader of the Arabs,
uttered a warming to the world today
3. and particularly to those interested
in the Near East, that there will be
no peace in the Near East until the
Arab aspirations are fully realized.
OF the present situation in Pales-
tine. he said:
THE Arabic world is in state Of
dissatisfaction and enlightenment. Not
one of the Arab aspirations, not one
of the pledges made to the Arabs in
Palestine has up to the present been
redeemed. 1t is only natural that
the Arabs in Palestine today are as
dissatisfied as their brethren every
where else.
1.-TWO years ago l said to the
Zionist leader. DR.. Weizmann: "Only
IL the Arab claims are fulfilled will
quiet and order reign in the East
and peace and harmony prevail be-
tween the Jews and the Arabs. 9th
erwise, IL the Arabs do not receive
what they consider they are rightfully
entitled to in the way of independ-
ence and national freedom, the Zion
lists also will be unable to retain
their peace. If the Arabs obtain
I they rightly demand, then It
will be to their interest to work
hand in hand with your people,
Vindictive Race.
Remember we'll! We Arabs are a
vindictive race. We are true and
faithful to our friends. But when the
Arabs discover that their friend has
been disioyal to them, they must re-
venge themselves.
you may be sure that II the Jews
are loyal and faithful to us, they will
never have reason to complain Of
Arab disloyalty and animosity. II
the Zionists think we Arabs have lost
our political future. IL they think we
are lost forever and deem us to be no
more, one day they will awaken and
find that we have returned.
Some day we shall achieve our ma
tional aims. What axis of the
Zionists is cooperation and support
at this fateful moment. This will be
of no harm to the Zionists and the
Zionists cause. If the Arabs achieve
that which they demand, friendship
and peace will be secured between
these two peoples. That is why !
speak so plainly to you. l want to
impress upon your people that there
will be trouble If our hopes fail"
Would it not make it easier to
gain the cooperation of the Jews in
the Arab cause II any misunderstood
ing were removed by plain and
frank statement that the Arabs will
support the establishment of a Jew
ish Palestine?" Emir Feisal was ask
ed. :.
30 not speak at this moment of !
Jewish Palestine" he replied. do
not anticipate the future. Today in
Palestine you are not more than from
s to 10 per cent of the population.
You can not come to the Arab, who
has lived there for centuries and say
to him: Go away. Leave your land
because we Jews want to establish
ourselves here" Il
"What / agreed upon with Or.
Weizmann was that the Arab and the
Jew would have equal rights In Pal
