The State Department’s documents on the war-time pro-Axis activities of the ex-Mufti of Jerusalem are being examined and translated by American-British-French teams of historians and will be published at some future time, it was announced today by Secretary of State George C. Marshall.

“At the present time,” Secretary Marshall told a press conference, “the numercus documents bearing on the activities of the Nazi and Fascist parties, their leaders and collaborators, which were seized during the conquest of the Axis countries by the Allied armies, are being examined, analyzed, translated, and classified by teams of historians representing the United States, British and French Governments.

“The three governments have agreed that this material will be published just as soon as the work on it, which is necessarily slow and arduous, has advanced to a stage that will permit its presentation in a manner which will give an accurate and complete picture of the events, personalities and developments during the Nazi-Fascist period.”
