Secretary Eden warns Mussolini
to Stop undermining British
policy in Palestine . . . These are
the headlines. What is behind
them? Mr. Palert, a noted

Grand Mufti, answers in this ex-

by special arrangement with the
Living Age. — The Editor.
Premier Mussolini’s attempts
to influence the Arab world
against Britain really dates back
a decade, although the general
public first became a wire of
them only a few months ago,
when the Duce girded on the
sword of the Prophet and pro-
claimed himself the 'Protector
of Islam.’ In so doing he fol-
lowed a precedent set by Kaiser
Wilhelm H just before the World
War.

distributed, Italy sought bar
revenge. She set about winniiM
the sympathies of the Arab
world by endorsing its most ex-
travagant claims. The evidences
of her penetration into Arab
countries, particularly in Egypt,
Palestine, Syria and Iraq, have
been easy to discern. Firm
among them are her large capital
investments in those countries.

modern part of Jerusalem re-

are charging lower passage rates
than the lines of any other na

given special rates under all kinds
of pretexts, particularly in the
case of Arab groups desiring to
visit Italy. Italy has in recent
years been attracting to her uni-
versities hundreds of Arab stu-
dents, who are exempted from
paying tuition and aided in other
ways.

ROME (WNS) — The Italian
government’s attitude toward
anti-Semitism has undergone so
great a change during the past
year that official circles are giv-

of special measures against the
Jewish population. Professor Fer-

Society Sunday afternoon in the
feature game at the day’s pro-
gram The score was 38-25 and
gave the “Y” boys undisputed
possession of second place in
the YMHA basketball league. Leo
“Bomber” Rubenstein, probably
the most handsome player in the
circuit, again led the offensive
for the golden-shirted boys by
scoring 15 points, his total being
made up of about an equal num-
ber at push shots and follow ups*
Harry Lewis, besides scoring
points, played a beautiful floor
game, while Maurice Hanovich,
fiery guard, played a hard hustl-

Guttman, who has not yet fully
recovered from a recent illness,
played only a few minutes but
managed to chalk up six points.
