Plan Announced As

Jews And Arabs Gather In London For Meeting.

LONDON, Feb. o-oas-lqns British Government was reliably reported today to be considering eotwblishment of an important army reserve base in Paleetlne_ as Jews and Arabs gathered here to iry to settle the dispute over the Holy Land.

Viscount Gout. chief of the Im- perial General Sta-ff, now is in the Near East studying the problem. Announcement of the new army base. aovmo believed, would be the first move in mt.- tlng a new Bnirtiah Palestine plan into operation if the Jews and Arabs foil to reach an agreement in their talks starting ‘Iuesday.

Reasons For Move

These iihrec reasons were given in support of putting s. standing army in the Near East:-

Although the Arabs and ms were not. to meet the British in the picture gallery of st. James’ Palace uni-ll Tuesday, even Bflltish officials we're pessimimic about the possiibility of an agreement be-

ing reached.

British official quarters acid the delegates would have “three or four weeks" to reach a decision. Unlas there were definite signs then cf a settle-meant, it was said, Britain would produce her own
