May Break With Europe
An Arab office spokesman said today the Arab world agreed to a complete economic and cultural break with Europe and the United States if the United Nations tries to partition Palestine. Britain would accept no other UN plan. A majority report recommended division of the Holy Land into Arab and Jewish states. The Arab states would withdraw oil concessions and possibly curtail air routes, while tapping men money and arms to resist any partition. A cultural break would urge western missionaries to leave the Arab world.
