CAIRO, Egypt, Aug.

8—To counter such moves as may be contemplated to increase the ownership of land in Palestine by members of the Jewish faith, some 400 delegates of the Arab communities in the Lydda and Gaza provinces of Palestine have appealed to the Palestine Government “to save Arab land” and to instigate an investigation into the alleged illegal purchases of land by Jewish settlers, according to reports reaching here today.

The delegates, who passed a resolution thanking the Arab League for its work on behalf of the Palestine Arabs, urged that the presidency of the Jerusalem municipality should continue as an Arab Moslem office and called for the return of political exiles.
