SIR, — I would like to express my admiration for Erskine Childers's
courage and honesty. We, the Palestine Arabs, have not been able to make our voice reach international public opinion and con- vey the true story of the mass expulsion and terrorising of the population of Palestine. Mr. Childers's article seems to me like a light penetrating the darkness which surrounds our life and future.
I am a Palestine Arab refugee who was forced to quit his home and land under the fear of being murdered by the Jewish terrorists. That was the general feeling that prevailed among us ,after the 'bloodbath' of Deir Yassin.
We Palestine refugees never had orders from any Arab leader or radio broadcast to evacuate our towns and cities: that claim is a fabrication which the Zionists used and are still using to mislead the world.- -Yours faithfully,
SALMI J. SHAWWA
President of the Palestine Arab Students' Society in the UK 4 Regent House, 72 Eversholt Street, NW!
