Libya.
Italian 'policy for the welfare of the Mussulmans.
A statement made in Tunis by Abdel Ahziz It-Tahlebbi, points out
that the Mussulmans in Addis Ababa are now being treated better under
the Italians than under the Negus, but as regards the conditions in Libya
he could say nothing.
The local editor of the Berid Barca has written to his correspondent II
Kondi, in Syria, inquiring into the political situation in Palestine.
The reply received was that the Arabs in general are still suffering
terribly, because, the Jews have taken away their land, and that also England
is against us (the arabs). Brothers of Libya and Tripolitania are asked to
help by making demonstrations against the policy which is being followed
in Palestine.
Foreign News: —Palestine.
On the 23rd November Ferhad Saadi was sentenced by the Court to be
hanged. On the 27th November 50,000 Mussulmans forwarded a petition
to the British Consul at Domshiekh, that Ferhad Saadi may be pardoned.

agreement with the British Government, they hope that if the British Gov
ernment keeps its word, and grants Palestine what had been promised, the
trouble in Palestine would cease.
An attempt on the life of the Minister Mustafa Nahas Pascha by Abdel
Gader Azierdien and Hafid Arabi Pascha, Green Shirts. The Minister
escaped injury. The reason for the attempted assassination was because
he signed the agreement with the British Government, which they consider
ed was of no benefit to Egypt.
Letter from Foreign Office, to Sir Reader Bullard, K.C.M G C I E
Jedda, No. (E.-7100/351/65), dated the 16 th December 1937. ’ *’
Damascus despatch No. 2586/2586/2 of the 23rd November, a copy of
which was sent to you direct, enclosed an extract from the local press re
garding certain negotiations supposed to have been started by Shekib Arslan
and others for an Arab convention to be held at Mecca during the pilgrim-
age.
If this rumour is correct, it seems to us that it may prove increasingly
difficult for Ibn Saud to refuse his consent to such a convention.
