Washington, July 21, Dr. Hans Dieldhoff, German Am- bassador to the United States, to-day discussed the Far East situation with Mr. Cordell Hull, Secretary of State, and Mr. Sumner Welles, another high official of the State Depart- ment.

CAUSES OF FRICTION
Mr. Ormsby-Gore attributed to the terms of the Palestine mandate many of the causes of Arab-Jewish fric- flon, which had been largely intensi- fied by the nationalist movements of these two peoples.
The British Government was con- vinced,
he said, that continuance of the mandate held out no hope either to the Jews or the Arabs. Only by partition of the country could the ideals of both peoples be realised. Fear of domination was at the root of the problem and the only way by which it could be removed was by dividing the country.
