restricting jewish land purchases this oonces slon and the stem measures of the mandatory power have brought a sur prising amount of unity to the country since the outbreak of war in spite of severe economic troubles although the jews do not accept the policy of the white paper they are firmly op posed to axis aggression neverthe leas the nazis have been able to turn much arab feeling against the british by playing upon the anglojewish conspiracy since the italians bomb ed the palestinian port of haifa kill ing many arabs and destroying their mosque italian propaganda has car ried utile weight haifa at the end of the oil pipeline from iraq is an important fuelling base syria and lebanon are french mandated territories situated stra teglcauy at turkeys back door the syrians strongly resented ttielr fallure to become the centre of an in dependent arab state and after a long struggle forced the blum government to grant them independence along the lines of iraq an agreement which was never

efforts to bring supplies and orces into this vital area arab sentiment was up until recent ly and particularly during the per lod or british successes against the italians developing favourably to the allied cause although nationalist activities since the last war have been largely direc ted against british and french con trols and against the british-sponsor- arabs of whom about 11 million live in arabia proper 4 millions in syria 8 infbtoa in jraq 1 million in pales tine 14 mlllons in egypt 700000 in tjbya and 16 millions in french af ilea there are considerable racial and religious differences but in the words of one authorty all those are arabs for whom the central fact of history is the mission of mohammed and the memory of the arab empire ad who in addition cherish the arab ic tongue and its crltural heritage as tfaeir common possession this arab aaplre in its day extended from its base in the mlrtrilr east along the north coast of africa into spain to day the core of the arab world is in asia although a common sentiment unites all the arab peoples the arab awakening began in syria ta the last century and had expressed itself before the last war in the for mation ca committee of the arab bro- ttmshood daring the last war the al lies took advantage of this national- ism to support a revolt against the turkish overiorde the understandings wttb which the arabs followed law- have been the cause of much to lor the allied victory did not bring a united arab state pan-arab- tan is strongest in arab asia although even here it is beset by dynastic and other feuds in 1936 a treaty of arab brotherhood and alnance was signed by a number of states at baghdad and as recently at 1940 50 arab lead era gathered in cairo to effect arab sobdarity yet there is no effec
