No one but Uncle Sam, against the Yankee imperialists who have sent’ Harriman to Iran to take over her oil, who are dislodging Britain from her age-old Near East domination. The Yankee aspirants to world domination as quickly make a deal with the. fascist Mufti .as they do with Franco and the German “and Japanese generals and war criminals.

The answer should be clear. Now is the time when all who want peace and progress ‘for the 150 million op- pressed peoples of the ‘Arab lands should demand the carrying out of the May, 1948, decision of the (United Nations—for the creation of an independent Arab state in Palestine. The lands that Ab- dullah seized are the lands that should have been united in such an Arab state. This should be done now. The state of Israel could then breathe and work in peace, with | a friendly Arab state as her neighbor. — This, not a. policy of subservience to U.S. imperialism, is the need of Israel. And this is what the Arab peo- ple in Palestine whom Abdullah forcibly “integrated” into Jordan demand and want. This would be in the interests of all the Arab lands and world peace. + It would serve another notice upon the imperialists that in the Near East the sands are running out for adventurers of the type of Harriman, Churchill, Law- rence,*the Grand Mufti or Ab- dullah to hold millions of people in bondage while the rich oil re=_ sources of their lands go to en- rich billionaires, in Washington or London.

But the real question is: who _ ts behind the Grand Mufti, this _ fascist who backed Hitler? Part of the answer can be - found in the statement made July 16 by Stanley Evans, UK Labor ‘MP: “There is no point in a nation denying itself 47 billion pounds for rearmament, presumably in part ‘for the protection of ‘its economic interests, if at the end ', of it all there is nothing left to -. protect.
