Between them and the masses

no one is interested in bridging
Leaders in the Arab world live
on generous scale. A wealthy
man in that world is really
wealthy, and a poor man is real
ly poor. A poor man has almost
literally nothing. Nor is there
any concern about the poor.
That is the business of Allah. If
God wills that man starve to
death, why should mortal man
Illustrate Gods will by feeding
him? Thus there is no concern
about the welfare of the masses.
There is no nonsense about the
rights of man, or much less of
labor unions. There is no nom
sense about democracy. This is
the situation, and it suits those
on the top very nicely.
You may notice that I differ
entiate between Arabs and Arab
leaders. Whenever anyone says
to me But the Arabs don't want

maticallY ask. What Arabs?"
There is no such thing as 1.-THE
Arabs" I suppose the nearest
thing to an Arab is the person
who lives in Arabia. He is the
povertY-stricken fellow we have
just been considering. He is not
against Zionism. He does not
know what Zionisrn is. This is
true of the millions of Arabs in
most of the Arab world. Then
there is the second group whom
we might refer to as THE Ar
abs" These are the masses of
Moslems in Palestine itself. We

mo mere multiplication of
fact finding committees, wheth-
er on Palestine or on U. S. labor,
will suffice in and by themselves
to bring order into a chaotic
contemporary scene. The present
postwar havoc both abroad and
at home, so disillusioning to the
myriads of young men who were
led to believe that they would
be returned to abiding peace and
abundant economic opportuni-
ties, cannot be specifically cured
by sheer political or economic
nostrums. Our reversion to pow
er politics, the foreboding spread
of industrial disorder, our quak-
ing terror before the grim pos
sibilitieS of the irresponsible use
of atomic power = all those can
not be specifically corrected by
mere economic rearrangementS
or chronological advance. What
is imperative is a spiritual re-
conversion on the part of IN
dividuals and nations"
The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1946-01-01

The first of these three, AraE
exclusiveness, is the least i'm
portant. How many non-Moslems
have ever been, to Mecca, ever
taken Cooks tour into the
heart of Arabia? No non-Moslem
has, except in disguise.
Moreover. it is an attitude
which is encouraged in the peo-
pie by their leaders. The aver
age Arab is a miserable creature
judged by our standards. and
perhaps by any standards. He is
poor. badly housed. often des-
peratelY sick. He turns to his
leaders and asks why. His lead
ers. unwilling to bestir themsel-
YES to better his lot, may simply
say that such is the will of Allah.
They may go a step further ana
say that all the ills of the Arab
are the result of foreign inter-
ference in Arab affairs. It has
been said. with some accuracy.
that this sort of attitude has de-
veloped into the o2lY national
policy the Arabs have. a policy
of anti-foreignism. directed at
the outside world and Zionism
alike.
The second and more impor-
tant reason why Arab leaders are
against Zionism is economic. We
must remember that Arabia
proper is a feudal state, or per-
haps more accurately mediae-
val absolute monarchy. The small
group in power have everything;
the rest have nothing. The lead
ers- the emirs and feudal own
ers, the professional classes and
clergy who benefit by serving
them = are the recipients of

Whv is Zionism a challenge to
the Empire? For the same reason
that it is a challenge to the .pr1-
vileqed Arab leaders. Arab la
Dor is cheap. whether it is build
inq roads or airfields. Arab lead
ers are willing to give up their
oil if paid literally. The eastern
end of the Mediterranean is a
moderately friendly place. Why
should this nice balance be dis
turbed .? Who can tell what might
result if a highly developed state
is allowed to come to life In the
Near East ? Who can tell what
might result in the economic
field for example? Suppose the
Zionists set up a state that pro-
duces and manufactures. Suppose
they show the way to the rest
of the Arab world. Suppose the
virus spreads around the life
line to Egypt. Iraq. India and
China.
You and I and the members
of the civilized world have a
moral obligation. It is our duty
to allow the Jews to settle Pal
estine without any restrictions
on immigration. We have prom
ised it to them. We have given
it to them. And then we have
snatched it away! AS the result
of a legal agreement the Arabs
received territory as large as
one third of the United States.
The Jews were to receive about
one per cent of that amount of
land: the little country of Pales-
tine. The Arabs got their land.
The Jews got a promise: The
Promised Land. We allowed
them to go ahead with their
plans. We allowed them to pour
their lives, their efforts, their
money, their dreams, their flu
ture into Palestine. We allowed
them to begin to build and
then we closed the doors, DOOM
ing their hopes and dreams. We
have a moral obligation to Zion
ism.

have seen how these have Deem
blessed by the Jews. but we
hear, 1.-The Arabs don't want the
Jews in Palestine" What Ar
abs?" The Arab leaders all over
the Arab world. the privileged
group who have held all the
economic power for centuries
and intend to continue to hold
it.
But a danger to their status
has doomed up. That danger is
Zionism! For Zionism is improv-
ing the lot of the average man
in Palestine. Zionism is concern
ed about a mans inherent rights,
about his body, his soul, his edu-
cation, his health, his home, his
family, his present and his .fu-
ture. Zionism is interested in
the land and the people who live
in the land. Zionism is interest
ed in democracy. 1t is even in
terested in the rights of labor.
These unorthodox ideas can
not be confined within the linn
its of Palestine. for such a gos-
pei ignores geographic borders.
Unless this heresY is stopped at
birth. it may spread over the
whole Arab world. with the
result that feudalism would be-
gin to disintegrate. and the priv
LEGGED classes to topple. The pri-
vileged classes are not scheming.
not doing anything base in their
own eyes. They are simply obey
ing the rules Of the game as it
is played in that part of the
world.
We come now to the third real
reason why Arab leaders are op-
posed to Zionism: the political
reason. Almost every really i'm
portant Arab leader hopes to be-
come the head Of Pan-Arabia.
He wants to have the backing
of every Arab as he continues
to grow. To do this he must have
program. a rally cry. Down
with Zionism" is a very conven-
lent program. Hitler faced the
same problem in Germany. He
had to stir his people and move
them with some magic formula.
So he shouted. Down with the
Jews" It is a simple and effec-
tive formula which demagogues
have used in the past and may
well use in the future.
Ultimate political opposition to
Zionism stems from still another
source: Certain important pow
ers in Great Britain are against
Zionism. All the facts we have
discussed so far are insignificant
compared to this one. The wishes
OF Arab leaders, the rights of the
Jew, the productivity of the
land, all these count as nothing
beside the simple statement that
certain important powers in
Great Britain are against Zion
ism.

America Warns Four-P lower Council Not to Pry Into MacArthur's Armor For Soft Spots

Tokyo, April 19-(UP)-The Allied four-power council, sharply divided over a British proposal to restrict witnesses explaining Gen. Douglas MacArthur's policies, received an American warning today mot to pry into the supreme commanders arm or for soft spots
 Britain, Russia and China lined up together in favor of a proposed procedural rule by which the coun- ell would control all witnesses ap- bearing before it, including the form and quantity of their evidence.
 The United States strongly resist ed the proposal Brig. Gen. Court ney whitney, who made a three hour speech before the council Wednesday, said the United States would fight any attempt to limit supreme headquarters speakers ap- bearing to defend MacArthurs oc- cupation policies.
 Priority System Adopted
 Finally, the council decided that requests for specific information from supreme headquarters auto matically would solve the problem of presenting evidence to the coun- ell. It also adopted a priority sys- tenn for submitting items to the agenda
 The British proposal was obvious ly aimed at Whitney for his lengthy fillibuster OH Wednesday. American representatives said any attempt to limit invited speakers would be "un- democratic and violation of the principles of free speech"
 w. McMahon Ball, the British delegate who submitted the proposal, insisted that there WIS nothing un- democratic ill forming organization al rules of procedure limiting the manner in which witnesses present. ed their information. Such a rule would mot muzzle any person" he said, because any amount of in- formation could be put into the minutes.
 Ball raised the question as to whether supreme headquarters had the power to tell the council how to run the councils business.
 Warning
 Whitney reminded the council that it was only an advisory group for Macarthur. He warned members not to pry into the supreme com mander's armor for soft spots or seek to find material for interna- tional sensations"
