OF ARABIA AIM OF BRITAIN TO CHECK ITALY Move Promoted to Halt Further Expansion of Italy in Red Sea Region French See Background BT EDWARD KENNEDY (Associated Press Foreign Staff. PARIS. April 15. ypi a proposal for a "United States of Arabia," na tionalist sources said today, is being promoted by Britain in an effort to align the Arabs against any further Italian expansion In the Bed Sen region. The dream of an Arabian empire, composed of most of the kingdoms, mandated territories and protector ates forming the Arabian penntsula. was believed by many nationalists to be moving rapidly toward fulfillment. French See RaMs. The Paris newspaper, Le Journal, asking what was behind the move ment for Arab unity, said: "The Idea comes naturally that Eng land, after taking advantage of di vision of Arabs In the past, deems It opportune to unite them at a time when Italy has shown Itself stronger than London believed. "It Is certain that If the Italians complete their triumph In Ethiopia, their activity In the Red Sea will expand." The vision of Arab unionists, as ex pressed by nationalists, was one of a loose confederation, virtually free from European domination, and with the units retaining their own rulers and governments. Signs Favorable. Favorable signs were seen In recent events demonstrations of greater unity among the Arabs, lessening of friction between Moslems and Chris tians, and a disposition on the part of European powers to wtlhdraw to some extent from the Levant. The proposed United States of Arabia would have a population of almost 10,000,000 and an area of more than 1,000,000 square miles, about half of it desert, on the peninsula across the Red Sea from East Africa, scene of Italy's campaign of conquest. The empire envisioned by Arab pa triots probably would Include Syria, the Lebanon Republics, the Arabian Sud an lan kingdom (formerly Hejaz and Nejd), the kingdom of Iraq, the Imam ate of Yemen, the sultanate of Kuweit, the sultanate of Oman and poslbly Transjordan, mandated to Britain, and Aden, British protector ate. The Inclusion of Palestine, also at present under British mandate, Is re gnrded as lew likely. San Francisco, Unafraid of Quakes, . Observes 30th Anniversary of Tire' Rt em Jackson SAN FRANCISCO A city un- arr&ld of earthquake but aim jittery about flrea will pauae April 18 to re member a day 30 years ago when both catastrophes struck at once, taxing between 500 and 600 Urea and wreak log damage of 1390,000,000. San Franciscans have been aocuaed of referring to the tragedy of 1006 aa a "fire" Instead of & quake because of a false aeiue of pride a, refusal to recognise Californla'a ever present earthquake threat. But to 300.000 ref ugees who camped In parka and streets for three days while the flames roared, the disaster waa pri marily a "fire.M The earth Jolt occurred at 6:13 In the morning: the great fi&n Andreas fault slipped a Jog undersea and vio lently Jarred the coast over an area 50 miles long and 30 miles wide. Fire Damage Greatest San Francisco buildings were vio lently shaken but few actually col lapsed, although chimneys and cor nices cascaded to the ground. Insur ance companies found that only live per cent of the S350.000.000 damage from qu..e and fire wa directly at tributable to the quake. . Flames broke out almost at once In scores of places and spread with out hindrance as the city's water sys tem had been Jolted to pieces. By evening of the first day eight square miles had been burned and aou.uuu of the city's 425,000 residents had deserted their homes In panic. Whole blocka of buildings were dynamited to create firebreaks. Au thorities herded 300,000 of the refu gees Into Golden Gate park and made desperate efforts to supply them with food and water. Wind Fanned Flames On the second day a stiff wind fanned the flames to new fury and cut of egress down the peninsula on which San Francisco Is situated. With the third day the fire abated somewhat but completed the ruin of the financial and shopping districts. It waa not until the fourth day that citizens could set to work to re store the 28.000 buildings which lsy in embers. The catastrophe occurred before the days of city planning, and rapid rebuilding, authorities admit showed more courage and zeal than wisdom. The city of today Is one of skyscrap ers and of lofty spartment houses crowded close together. Engineers say that In case of an other earthquake few If any build lnga would fall. San Francisco, how ever, vividly remembera tne "lire and la a city on guard against a pos sible repetition of such havoc. ' Poits Barred In Groceries. MOUNTAIN VIEW. Cal. (UP) K.
