Following the course charted by Chancellor Hitler’s Saarbruecken speech, the Reich press turned avid attention tonight to Palestine, reporting the disorders there under such sensational headlines as “England completely overwhelmed!” and “Arab Revolution!”
D.N.B., official Reich news agency, reported in a dispatch from Cairo that a national Arab government had been established in the Holy Land. With a “free corps” of 15,000 at their disposal, the underground government was credited with already having brought three-fourths of the country under its sway.
Special attention was given by the newspapers to the Pan-Arab Congress at Cairo. The Voelkischer Beobachter and Koelnische Zeitung interpreted the anti-Zionist and anti-Semitic atmosphere there as a concrete crystallization of pan-Arabism.
