Memo to UN

Arabs Unable to Wage War
Or to Govern Themselves

LAKE SUCCESS (JTA)—The
ability of the Arab states and
the Palestine Arabs to stage and
maintain an armed revolt against
any decision of the United Na-
tions is challenged in a memoran-
dum submitted to the United Na-
tions by the National Associates.
The ,nemorandum says that
these countries can hardly muster
150,000 soldiers; that these are
for the most part ill-trained, ill-
equipped, ill-disciplined, under-
nourished. "There is no air force
to speak of. There is no navy.
There are few modern weapons,
and fewer still who know how
to use them. There is very little
military, command, or combat
experience. The only trained and
equipped force is that number-
ing 24,000 known as the Trans-
jordan Arab Legion. They have
no arms factories and no replace-
ments for their military equip-
ment."
Their military strength apart,
another factor which would make
any revolt against the UN im-
possible is the condition of the
largest section of the popula-
tions," the memorandum says. It
cites the following facts:
"1. Two per cent of the popu-
lation control the wealth and
power of an area covering about
1,200,000 square miles • in which
seme 36,000,000 people live.
"2. Illiteracy is staggering,
ranging from 80 to 97 per cent
in some countries.
"3. The infant and child mor-
tality rate is record-breaking in
some countries. Fifty per cent of
, the children die before their fifth
year. Life expectancy in other
countries is from 24 to 26 per
cent.
"4. Great areas which could be
developed to support millions of
people are unused.
"5. Mass poverty is added to
by a taxation system which ex-

Of Hebrew Hospital Assn.

At the annual meeting of the
Hebrew Hospital Association,
Saul Katz, Detroit builder and

empts the rich land-owning class
and forces the majority of the
populations to live under the sub-
sistence level.
"6. The governments are cor-
rupt and subject to no popular
control, with 80 to 90 per cent
of all members of the Parliament
coming from that upper strata of
two per cent which controls the
area."
The memorandum discloses
that in Saudi Arabia and Yemen
slavery is recoghrzed by law, and
that in most of the Arab states
women are bought and sold.
The memorandum discards the
_threat that the Arabs will cancel
the oil' leases held by Anglo-
American interests if the UN
takes a decision favorable to the
Jews. It points out withdrawal

Off the' Record

Sages Guard Their Words

It has never been definitely established whether there was anti-
Semitic motive behind Shakespeare's portrayal of Shylock in his
Merchant of Venice. But the word Shylock has taken on ugly conno-
tations over the years and has been used as a weapon by the anti-
Semites traducing the Jewish character . . . We are therefore baffled
why the -editors of Moscow's Literary Gazette, who most certainly
are aware of the general implications of the "Shylock" legend, should
have permitted an article referring to Secretary of State Marshall as
"a Shakespearean Shylock, revengeful, unmerciful, insatiable in his
greed." The acrimonious Moscow-Washington debate is not adding
to the world's peace of mind, and the unhappy use of the "Shylock"
myth certainly. will not add to the peace of mind of the Jews every-
where, including Soviet Russia .. .
