England Proposes
New Arab State

London, June 14.-(By the Associat-
ed Press).-Great Britain's new policy
Of replacing the existing provisional
native government of Mesopotamia by
the creation of an Arab state. which
should be built up around Bagdad and
revive the old glory and culture of
the Arab race, was announced in the
House of Commons today by Winston
Spencer Churchill, the colonial sec
rotary.
He declared that this was clear
policy definitely chosen and agreed to
within the whole Arabian peninsula.
and he indicated the belief that Emir
Feisal, son of the king of Hedjaz.
would be elected ruler of the new state.
He declared that policy of appease-
ment and friendship alone was COM
patible with the British pledges, and
If accepted by the Arab people it was
the best possible solution that could
be reached. King Hussein had already
consented that his son should be a
candidate for the throne.
There were no primary or directly
strategic interests concerning India to
justify British retention of MesDpota-
mia, he continued. India could better
be defended on it's strategic frontier.
The British policys was to reduce its
burdens while discharging it's obliga-
! tons. by creating government which
would be a friend of Great Britain
and might also be friend of France.
An Arab army would be created for
the defense of the new state.
! Turning to Palestine he admitted
that this was a graver problem than
Mesopotamia but much smaller in a
military sense. The Arabs feared tilat
they would be swampcd in a few years
by Jewish immigration from central
Europe and Russia and that the Jews
would gain absolute control of Pales-
! inc. He declared. however, that these
figures were quite illusory: no Jews
would be brought in beyond tho num-
Der that could be provided for by the
development of the country's re-
sources.

THE only limitation we put is tina,

that they can not solve the Irish
