Taking Shape

Parity of Jews, Arabs In Holy Land Sought in Compromise Proposals

London, Dec. 28.

The Arab-Jewish "round table" conference planned here during the coming month will take place before the last week of January, well-informed quarters stated today.

At the beginning of January, the list of Arab representatives to take part in the proceedings will be made public. The delegation will include six men representing the various Arab parties in the Holy Land. There are actually only five separate groups in Palestine, but it is understood that the sixth delegate will be an unofficial representative of the Grand Mufti. Arab quarters here stated today that their delegation will arrive here on or about January 12.
