PALESTINE PARLEYS OPEN

London, Feb, 7.

Two seremonies were necessary at the opening of the Conference at St. James Palace to-day, the Premier Arst däreming the representatives of the Palestino Araba and neigh bouring States and later addressing the Jews. This is because the Arabs do not recognise the Jewish Agency.

Officials of the Colonial Office were trying up to 2 a.m. to reconcile the differences among the Arabs, there being a possibility that while the feud remained unsettled the whole of the Mufti Arabs, as well as representa- tives of Egypt, Irak, Saudi Arabia, Transjordanin and Yemen, would refuse to attend the opening ceremony if the Defence Party members were present. тежен

Mr. Chamberlain, addressing the Arabs this morning, said:

"My policy is one of peace. You inay be aware that my particular method of approach to peace is through understanding and the first essential step to understanding is personal contact.

"It is the task of statesmanship, when faced by what may appear a be a deadlock between two peoples, to achieve a compromise on the boss of justice. This in the task before us-difficult no doubt, but surely not beyond the capacity of our united nowers."

The Arab delegates comprising those representing the Mufti Parly had been received by Mr. Chamber- lain in the famous Queen Anne's Drawing Room leading to the Picture Gallery where the talks began,

It was one of the strangest con- ferences

held. The greatest: ever enre was taken to keep the delegates apart, the Jewish representatives being received separately later in the morning in the Banqueting Room on the other side of the Picture Gallery. This was due to the Arabs declining to sit with the Jews-Reuter.
