There is acute tension in Jewish circles here following the amashing and looting of several Jewish-owned stores this week-end during anti-British demonstration.

The demonstration, called by the fanatic Moslem Brotherhood, supported Egypt’s (?)se at the United Nations Security Council calling for the immediate withdrawal of British troops from Egypt and the consolidation of the Sudan with Egypt. Although leaders of the Jewish community have officially endorsed the government’s position (##) matter, it is feared that other anti-British incidents may also take an anti-Jewish turn.
