Heard in the Lobbies
BY Arnold Levin
CIVIL SERVANT

This is a note on some Pales-
tine civil servants, past and pres
ent. You have read about Sir
Henry Quincy, the arrogant new
chief secretary. Reports from the
Gold Coast are that he left be-
hind him a trail of ruthless adj
ministrative practices and was
transferred to Palestine as a penal
measure against the YiShuv. A
man on whom Sir, however very
little the title means, does not fit
well; an ignorant supercilious red
tape expert, he has outraged and
been outraged by all Palestinians
and visitors who have come in
contact with him He is all
that and cruel, as brutal as only
petty officials can be He has
succeeded Sir John Shaw, a far
more cultured and amiable in
dividual, crumple-suited, bohem-
ian, arty and well-read. Sir Johns
appearance is deceptive. Some
people had thought him passably
well-disposed to the Jews, but in
reality it was Sir John, and not
the High Commissioners who come
and go, who administered Pales-
tine and advised London He
was transferred from Palestine
and kicked upstairs following in
vestigations into the circumstan-
ces under which scores of people
lost their lives in the Irgun bomb
ing of the King David Hotel. Ac-
cording to Eschnab, an unofficial
organ, the investigation revealed
that Sir John and his aides were
given twenty minutes to clear the
building because it was mined.
Sir John, however, is alleged to
have stated that the Chief Secre-
tarist ordered the staff to stay on.
while he himself picked up his hat
and instead of ambling, as he US
ually did, ran for dear life ;.
And then there is the scandal
about high official who died in
the bombing. This man virtual
ly controlled the life and death
of Palestine's industry. After
his death the famous Tammany
"iron box" was discovered among
his effects. 1t contained a verit-
able fortune. The press inquired
about how the deceased had &C
quired this wealth, but was never
given satisfactory reply. The
mystery of the "tin box" remains.
These three DEMONSTRATIONS
typify the range of the British
officialdom in Palestine, from
the ruthless and SNUG thru the
deceptive to the corrupt.

WHY We PRINT THIS STORY

We ARE facing brand new
world. We are badly confused by
present trends in manners and
morals, fashions and customs.
Many people blame the changes
on the war. But, actually. war
only speeded them up.
Most changes have been in the
making for a long time. The
cause has been the rapid-hre de-
velopment of the machine age, a
period in which the complexities
and demands of a mans environ
ment have developed faster than
his ability to cope with them.
Morality - the code of living -
has not kept pace with technol-
ogy. 1t is easier for us to build
an atom bomb than to know
what to do with it.
L ODAY, in our infinitely more
confusing society, we have lost
the Rules of Thumb which
enabled other generations to
make a satisfactory working
compromise with their environ
ments. We cannot be sure we will
come up with the right answer
to a moral situation. In many re-
spects our world is better than
yesterdays world. We have more
opportunity for health. comfort
and convenience in our material
lives. There is more freedom,
more frankness in our relation
ships with each other.
But - and it is a big but -
something is wrong with our
modern life. Thousands of peo-
pie - in spite of all their mod
