FRENCH CONCERN ABOUT
KING HUSSEIN'S CALI

Paris lie Temps" publishes an cdi-
torial ON The siiuatiorr in Palestine. in

the position is one which merits the
consideration Of the Council of the
League of Nations.
The cial organ of the TranSjor-

that King IIusscin should be proclaim
ed Caliph of Arab Islam. In London
they assure us that England does not
approve of King IInsscin's ambitions.
But either tht British themselves en-
couragcd King Hnsscin To stand as n
candidate fer the caIiphaie, or King
IIusScin has rushed forward becausc he
has heard that the british Govern
meni is,supporling aIniher candidate.
1t is quite possible HAT both these
suppoSitions are correct. But thar as
il may. King H,IsS,in haze extended his
rule TO the banks of the Jordan.
The King Of the Hedinz declares that
Great Britain promised him that she
would recognize Arab Independence in
Palestine. That is how he under
stands the British engagements of
October. 1913. We doubt that Great
Britain ever intended making n promise
cf that kind. Egypt and Palestine are
twJ bases from which the SucZ Canal

already possesses nm .Arah Government.
II is therefore highly Improbable that
