Arabs Patch Up Their Quarrels

RESIGNATIONS WITHDRAWN Mayor of Jerusalem To Go To London What the Press Thinks of the Delegation The breach in the Arab ranks is reported . to have been healed . Resignations have been withdrawn A meeting with Moussa Kazim in Jericho has resuited in the patching up of ihe quarrels . Ragheb Bey Nashashibi is now willing to go to London .

Let Nashashibi go to London , but let jt be made clear that he will not occupy the Mayoralty chair again .
