Morocco--Foreign ministers from Arab League nations are meeting in the town of Mohamedia, north of Casablanca. They are preparing a discussion plan for an Arab leaders’ meeting planned to open September 6 in Fez. Morocco’s King Haasan opened the ministers’ meeting last night. He urged them not to discuss problems which divide Arab countries. The Moroccan leader said the ministers instead should work on matters on which they agree. King Hassan said the lack of Arab unity is partly responsible for the crisis in Lebanon. Several speakers on Sunday also expressed the need for Arab unity.
