NEW YORK, August 23.-A clash Of
modern economic interests lies behind
the ancient blood feuds Of Palestine.
which. within the last few days, have
taken more than hundred lives, in
savage outbreak of murder and pillage.
This is the opinion of David A.
Brown. chairman of the Palestine emer-
gency fund, chairman Of the board Of
the Broadway National Bank and
prominent figure in international Jewry.
Mr.. Brown sees in the attacks in the
congregation at the Wailing wall year
ago, and in the clinactic disorders and
brutality of the last few weeks, a highly
organized pan-Moslem propaganda,
springing from economic motives, rather
than, primarily, from the old racial
antagonisms.
This propaganda was organized and
the attacks engineered said Mr..
Brown, ''by Moslem leaders who lost
control when the British accepted the
mandatory control of Palestine. They
have kept up steady drive to regain
their lost ascendancy. as the modern eco
nomic progress of the country left no

to whether Lindy and Anne would

writer's and photographers arrived
today by airplanes from the main
land at Rockland. IL miles away. :
They found the summer estate OF

serted except for a squad Of house
cleaners and painters. The so.called
honeymoon cottage" near the home
was occupied by local plumbers,
hard at work.
Hubert o. Grant, caretaker Of

had came by radio.
No guards were on duty at the
Morrow summer place today as
were posted during the recent fly
ing visit made by Lindbergh, Anne,
her mother and two sisters.
1t was generally understood in
the village that Colonel Lindbergh
and his bride would be here when
