WON'T AGREE
LONDON, Feb. 26. THE EXECUTIVE of the Jewish Agency has decided to reject the British plan for the paci- fication of Palestine.
The proposals which the British Government will submit to the Palestine conference to- morrow are understood to have (been considered at a prolonged
meeting of the Arab delegates · last night.
The main feature of the proposals, it is understood, will be the sugges- tion of a round table conference to be held
the autumn on the lines of the round table conferences which pre- eeded the new constitutions in India and Egypt, and invitations to the conference will be issued by the King on behalf of the Government, not only to political representatives of Palestine und Britain, but also to constitutional experts.
It is suggested that the British representation also include members of the opposition parties, in order to place the future Palestine policy above party politics.
It is believed that British Govern- Iment has expressed the desire to see self-government established in Palestine, although it is clearly indicated that it does not favour im- mediate establišliment,
Subjects for discussion at the con- |ference would doubtless include not only those on which agreement has been found Impossible during the present tulee but also on the ques- tion of a treaty with Britain pro- viding safeguards for British interests in Palestine, and for the various communities.
Meanwhile, it is understood that i is proposed to extend the advisory and executive councils to include unofficial members, both Jew and Arab, nominated by the High Com- missioner. Unofficial members of the executive council, whose title
