The German Ministry of Propaganda is utilizing for Nazi purposes the news of the Arab protests to the United States against the Palestine resolution.

German newspapers reaching here today from Berlin carry articles commenting on the united action of Egypt, Iraq, Syria and Lebanon with regard to the Palestine resolution. Every paper uses the phrase “the impending battle for Palestine” to emphasize that Arab countries are determined to fight any encouragement of Jewish demands on Palestine.

“The protests of the four Arab governments constitute the beginning of a clash between Islamism and Americanism,” the Deutsche Allgemeina Zeitang writes. The Vcelkischer Beobachter, Hitler’s personal newspaper, says that the Arab protests have strengthened Britain’s argument that it must adhere to the terms of the White Paper which is strongly opposed by the Jews.
