15-minute drive from the Pales-.
tine town of Jericho. On the opposite side of the highway leading-into the mountains of Moab from the Tested tents of King Abdullah is’ his Arab legion—which is mandated Transjordania's army. This outfit was first organized by the famous desert leader, Col. T. E. Lawrence, and was camelmounted.
| Today the army. is motorized, supported by the British govern=-
ment and British staffed. But the United States has contributed lend-lease in the form of blankets, uiiiforms, and food supplies.
LJ n ” TRANSJORDANIA has elections, a cabinet and a popular parliament - with powers to veto laws initiated by the king. Abdullah is a stocky, pointbearded man of 66, with a warm handshake and straightforward manners. Clad in a nun-gray cloak, with gold ceremonial daghe wears a snowy -white head-kerchief with a white} woolen ring holding it—in desert, tl fashion, His exceptionally small feet are clad in black cloth shoes with rubber tips. n " 1 4 GUESTS are warned beforehand by the British conducting officer that it is bad manners to cross their feet in the sovereign’s presence. But: when I forgot myself, Abdullah. put me at ease by crossing his own. Abdullah described the situation which obtained when both the Arab nations and the U. S. joined the allies in. world war I without knowing that the British and French had already divided the Ottoman empire for "post-war control. Abdullah said that the Arabs’ juridical’ case against Palestine was based on letters exchanged between his father, King Hussein, and Sir Henry MacMahon, n n ” THE CRUX is the MacMahon letter omitting “portions of Syria | lying to the west of the districts of Damascus, Homs, Hama and Alleppo,”’—which, in the Arab interpretation, would keep Christian / Lebanon outside greater Arabia, but have Palestine inside. In many, Arab groups, Abdullah is considered the logical candidate
+ to the throne of a triple kingdom
uniting Iraq, Syria and Transjordania. ’ Asked whether he felt: that the Arabs were better off today than rafter the world war I, Abdullah gave the questioner an unblinking | look and said: “Do you want a straight from the shoulder answer? Because that
kind of answer may cause anger
or resentment.”
TOLD TO fire away, Abdullah said: “The Arabs were better off then because they were in the hands of one man and were a single, united nation. They wanted to return to their ancient fatherland and see
one united Arabfa. They were used | to high posts of responsibility, |
even under the Turks—civil, judiciary and military. “But then the peace conference imposed mandates and Zionism. King Hussein suffered a blow from the Wahabite king (Ibn Saud), and King Feisal had a mandate forced on him by the French. 8 " » “NO ONE can deny ‘that the British and French mandates have brought education. But they have made separate sysiems of disunited Arab education, “Men who felt that the Arabs were one people have now grown old and_ the sense of unity has been lost. . “What is the result? You have all kinds of colleges—French, British, even American—and all kinds of culture, “There is just one culture missing—our own Arah culture. » o o “YOU BIG which’ happens to be found in Arabia.

n n n “IN PALESTINE the Arabs do not want the Jews, who are al-

declaration, expelled,” he said. “They recognize that the Jews have the same human right to live
there as elsewhere on earth. But | they must meet the Arabs on | equal terms and not dominate | |
them. “I am sorry that my people always seem to be complaining to those who never hear. “But it is good to know, when speaking to America, that I am speaking—through-a liberal press, to a liberal people—which wants only good for all.”
