The first Mrs. Zweig reviews the

events which led to the unfor-

of one of the world's greatest
literary figures. She tells of the
events in Germany. the end of

the following which are reminis-

existed among American Jews:

into voluntary seclusion, because
he wanted to be accorded no

whose philo-scmitism was by no

Attempts to organize a League
of Arab People in opposition to
the Arab League are developing
in Cairo, center for all pan-Arab
movements-and Arab secret and
public activities.
The proponents of the new
league, who apparently include
extremist leaders from all Arab
countries in the Middle East,
are basing their chief arguments
on the "too moderate" program
of the Arab League, which they
also accuse of pro-British orien-
tation. They blame the Arab
League for not having obtained
a clear-cut Arab victory at the
London conference on Palestine.
The young generation of Egyp-
tian Jews, although assimilated
to a great extent, is beginning
to feel unwanted in their native
land and are turning more and
more toward Palestine as the
only country which holds a fu-
ture for them.
Here, yourfg educated Jewish
men and women, fresh from
school, are finding it very diffi-
cult to obtain employment. Both
private industry and government
offices turn them away when
they seek a job. In a number of
instances they were flatly 1told
that they were being refused em-
ployment only because of their
religion — this is particularly true
in the case of white collar
workers.
