crush them all, 1 'or no real oppcser and adventurer besides
me is found. We used to be two oppcsers; they killed one
whom you know, the late Sheikh Omass el Ola, head of the
Abeed tribe. There was killed on the same day, as a revenge#
the uncle of Ogeil el Yawer, Feisal the joyful. They were
not able to get at me despite their efforts and the approval
of Noury. I had to leave the land of my fathers, to which I
have moie right than any other owing to the great services
rendered to it uy my forefathers who sacrificed everything
in serving it as history bears witness. Ify own services
rendered tc it in paiticulai and to all the -arabs and Islam
in general are- known to my brother Younis and aie recognised
by the public. I have been three sessions h>.P. and did not
spend a single Dinar of my salary but offered it all to the
Aircraft Society and to schools and benevolent societies, and
for the help cf Palestine. Not only this, but I paid hundreds
of Dinars from my own money. I can say that no MoP. in the
world has ever offered his salary during three sessions with
much from his own pocket as I did. Such deeds deserve praise,
reward, appreciation and mentioning with pride, not the con
trary. Put this is only in the eyes of men who are true and
sincere patriots. It is a shame that such services should be
the cause of ray leaving the land of my forefathers. I left it,
my brother Younis, for two reasons: first, I did not like to
be the cause of spreading fire in the country, and secondly,
I could not bear to be humiliated by Noury. I therefore
preferred tc take refuge with the Imam and Ping Abdel Aziz
Al Seoud, for he is a true Ping and a true ^rab, and appreciates
families rightly especially in view of the relations and ties
I referred to above. Ify brother Younis knows well that I am
not in need of money or a post, ox anything of the kind, neither
do I need to make my name and family famous.
What I do need

About this item

Content

This summary, compiled by the Middle East Intelligence Centre, uses information received through Anglo-Egyptian censorship to provide a picture of various subjects relating to Nazi Germany including:

  • Germany. Internal Conditions;
  • conditions in neutral territories;
  • military information;
  • economic warfare;
  • evasions of censorship;
  • hostile Arab agents.

The information on each subject is largely drawn from intercepted correspondence, and excerpts are quoted or paraphrased throughout as evidence. It is noted at the beginning of the file that the information contained within aims to give an idea of what 'the people, as distinct from the government, are thinking'.

There are five attached appendices labelled A-E (folios 8-18). Appendices A, B, D and E are translations of intercepted letters which have previously been quoted. Appendix C is a report from the Deputy Chief Postal Censor which provides a general outline of European opinion on the Second World War based upon information read in intercepted correspondence.
