SECRET ARAB PROPOSALS

FOR PALESTINE PEACE

United Federal State Envisaged

Geneva, June 13.-A senior American church official completed

in Geneva today a six weeks' secret mission with revolutionary Arab- proposals for peace in Palestine.

The proposals called for the establishment of a United Federal State in all Palestine in which the Arabs "would accept the fact of a Jewish majority on the Federal Council."

The church official was 35-year-old Dr Garland Evans Hopkins of McLean, Virginia, Associate Foreign Secretary of the Methodist Church. Dr Hopkins said he first received the proposals from Palestine Arab leaders in Jerusalem last April. During the past six weeks he has discussed them with Jewish and Arab” leaders as well as with the Pope. Dr Hopkins declined to name the originators of the plan.

NEED FOR DEVELOPING NATURAL RESOURCES

Paris, June 13,-Rice consuming peoples of the Far East, with the exception of Siam, Burma and Indo-China, are generally worse off than ever before, Mr Morris E.

Mr Dodd made an extensive trip to the Near East and Asia recently to study the food and agriculture situation there.
