"is that before the next session of the General Assembly of the United Nations, Britain, The United States and the other, countries, will have found a way to universal peace like a United Federal Govern- ment of Palestine, proposed at the last moment of the conference, by France and Arab countries.” Heykal Pashn explained that the next step by the Arab countries will be discussed at the meeting of the Arab League in Cairo on December
