I learn from a reliable -source that negotiations have taken place in
Damascus, Palestine, Egypt and Hejaz, for the purpose of
arranging an Arab convention in Mecca during the pilgrimage season, in
order to discuss the Palestine problem, as well as other 'matters relative to
Arab countries. It is said that Amir Shekib Arslan wishes to go on pil
grimage this year and to arrange for this. Discussions have taken place
with King Ibn Sa’ud and, if he allows it, Iraq, Palestine, Syria and Egypt
and other Arab lands will be asked to send delegates to Mecca" Many letters
were sent last week to various Arab countries in connection with this con
vention.
