Musa Kazim Pasha Husseine. chairman of the delegation, says in his report that whereas they did not accomplish all that they had hoped for, nevertheless they had aroused public sentiment in @ngland and had won the sympathy of many leading persons connected with the British Government. The report was made to the Fifth Moslem and Christian Congress, which was brought together at Nablus for the purpose of hearing what the delegation had to say. At the same time the congress outlined its future plans.
It decided toi boycott the new constitution, which it considers inimical to the cause of the Araios to take no part in the elections, and to dissuade all Mohammedans and Christians from serving on the Legislative Council.
It urged upon. the Arabs the necessity of standing together and refusing to sell Jands to the Jews.
A manifesto was sent out from the congress to all Mohammedans and Christians of the country in the following words: "We, the delegates of the Arab people of Palestine in the fifth congress held at Nablus, pledge ourselves to God, to history and to the nation to continue our endeavours, looking forward tol the independence of our country, to bring about Arab unity by all legal and lawful means, and to refuse the Jewish National Home, and Zionist. immigration It was decided also that a trade boycott of the Jews be instituted, the ways and means thereof to be decided upon later.—Reuter.
