The refugee situation could be
solved overnight" II every country
in the world admitted its share of
responsibility in this humanitarian
problem. Aruny De Jany, of the
Arab Ofice declared yesterday.
"Since the Arabs and other Mos
lens didn't create the problem it is
unfair to expect them to solve it,
Mr.. De Jany told luncheon meeting
of the Ward Belmont Club which
met at the Parrott Restaurant.
Mr.. De Jany added that he thought
1t was unfair also for the peoples
of the world to close their doors to
the refugees while at the same time
expressing their sympathy with the
situation and advocating force
against Palestine for refusing en-
trance bf refugees.
In presenting the Arab side of the
Palestine problem the speaker sug-
gested that if every country in pro-
portion to its capacity, its population
and wealth, admitted 'its share" of
refugees, "a great majority of whom
are Christians" the effect would be
slight and the problem would be
solved. He also emphasized that
Palestine now is admitting five times
as many refugees as any other coun-
try and at the same time stressed
the fact that with 370 persons per
habitable square mile, Palestine has
a density of population not equaled
by any other country of its size in
the world.
Referring to the Arab attitude to-
ward the present Jewish problem,
Mr.. De Jany said "the Arab is not
anti-Semitic or anti-Jewish, but he
is opposed to one group of Jews, the
zionists." The opposition would be
the same, he added, if the Zionists
belonged to any other nationality
The zionists base their claim to pos
session of Palestine on their 400
year interim occupation" of the
country which has been "in con-
tinuous and uninterrupted posses
sion of the Arabs for 1900 years" "
the speaker asserted.
If this is true, he added, with ref
erence to q recent statement made
