Pan-Arabia Deserta

Lehrman, Hal | April 14, 1945 issue

The article focuses on the signing of a protocol of the Pan-Arab League. Mussa El Alami, delegate from Palestine, listened to the guttural Arabic oratory as microphones halted here and there around the green-baize table. When the ceremonial signing began, nobody handed pen to Alami. They had tucked his business away in a little protocol behind the twenty-two articles of the covenant of the Pan-Arab League. When signing was over, Palestine stood acclaimed as juridicially independent in eyes of thirty million Arabs. Palestine might still be termed a mandate on the dusty ledgers of Geneva, but here it was an Arab state amid Arab equals. That is the real meaning of the protocol.
