Arab Support

Cairo, May 17.

King Ibn Sand is understood to have told Raschid All's finance minister, Magi El Seoudi Pasha, in a recent audience that, if he had agreed with Raschid All's policy, he would have supported him already.

He is understood to have added that the only course open to Arab nations was to support Britain—Reuter. ture was leading her.

At the same time the picture of Hess as an idealist. as the latest fig-[ment of the overworked imagination of German propagandists, hardly squares with the truth. As stated by the "Daily Telegraph?" "Hess, more than any other man but Hitler, is responsible for the abominations of concentration camps and the Gestapo. He lived and throve and made himself important by murder, torture and persecution. Such is Hess' religion"

The "Telegraph" adds a timely warning: "Though one of the chief Nazi gangsters has deserted, that does-n't diminish one jot the urgency of development of our utmost fighting power now We must not be deflected or deterred from toil and sacrifice of our task by the fantastic melodrama of Hess."—British Official Wireless.
