The Daily News, however, in a leading article expresses the opinion that while Palestine is momentarily safe from further outbreaks and in- discriminate pillaging the wider dan- ger is unfortunately still as real as it is incaluable. This newspaper says that not only is the famous Druse chief, Sultan El Atrash, reported as- sembling large Arab forces in Syria with the intention of joining an at- tack through Trans Jordama - upon Palestine but there is great excite- ment in many parts of the Arab world. This is expressing itself in vehement demonstrations and calls for "unity in Arab countries under the kingship of Ibn-Saud." The Daily News declares that to ignore these signs would be "to bind ourselves to the combustile elements of Arab nature and the possibilities of a senseless Holy War emerging from the sudden racial flare-up in Palestine." It is of the utmost im- portance that the British Government should possess itself of vital inform- ation upon all Arab movements out- side of Palestine, the Daily News states, adding that it is above all im- portant that the British government should get in friendly touch with Ibn- Saud, king of the Hedjab. His at- titude, it is stated, would give a clue to the riddle. "It is within his power to kecp peace or break it," The Daily rar continues, "He exercises immense in- fluence over a wide expanse of Arab territory.

The Munami had taken eight others aboard and was standing by, looking for those who may have remained afloat after the ship sank. Radio accounts of the rescue indi- cated, however, that the chances for many of the 65 unaccounted for per- sons were slim, due to the speed with which the San Juan sank the fact that darkness and confusion handicapped the rescue workers.
