HfEDFORD MAIL TRTBT7TE. FEDFOTID. OREGON. FRIDAY. .TTTLY 22. 1933. PAGE NI3TE EXILED EL MUFTI PLOTS HOLY LAND OFT Controls Arab Brigands Who Roam Palestine Hills Builds Up Well-Financed Gang Following Hide-Out JERUSALEM (AP)-HaJ Amln El f.ndl Al Husselnl, Palestine's exiled H MuJtl, sits in a big house In Al-Zok. near Beirut, and stirs the Arab world with a long-handled spoon. Reliable reports trom Beirut say he has built up as well-tlnanoed an or ganization as he had belore he stole awsy from Palestine last October, atter hiding from the British author ities in the holy Mosque of Omar. The Beirut stories tell of a flow of money to the house of Al-Zok. as the Mufti holds his court and carries on by remote control the continuing terrorist activities In Palestine, where a royal commission Is trying to shape a new partition plan. They Couldn't Agree ' The first scheme for dividing Palestine Into Arab, Jewish and Brit-' Ish-mandated states pleased nobody. For almost two months the com mission, headed by Sir John Wood head, has been Interviewing govern ment officials, private Individuals and official representatives of the Jewish Agency, all In secret session. Arabs have-refused to appear. Meanwhile British troops are trying to keep the Mufti's terrorists on the run. Late in May thousands of soldiers moved secretly Into the Gall lee and Samaria districts, cutting a swath right down the center of Pales tine, to keep the terrorists out of the villages and force thorn further north In order to eject them completely. Construction of an electrified wire fence along the Lebanon, Syria and Palestine borders la proceeding rapid ly to keep terrorists out. Anti-British Plotting Not only does HaJ Amln control the Arab brigands who roam the Palestine hills, but he has begun to take an active part in Syrian, Iraqu lan and even Egyptian affairs. One report tells of a meeting at HaJ Amln'a house at which It was decided to allocate 825,000 for the purpose of fostering antl-Brltlsh and antl-Jewlsh propaganda in the Arab press In Arab countries; to establish new propaganda centers in Baghdad. Mosul and Basra; and to bring pres sure to bear on the government of Iraq and Saudi Arabia to take a more active Interest in Palestine. From his house In Al-Zok messen gers go out over the Arab world to buy arms and ammunition, to recruit brigands, and to stir up trouble against the British. Frontiers Kept Open There are stories which purport to give evidence that the funds at the Mufti's command are ample to keep the Syrian and Turkish frontiers open to get money, arms and ammunition Into the Palestine hills, as well sb to give himself a certain Immunity. Modern arms, such as light ma chine guns, automatic revolvers, and Belgian and Chechoslovakian rifles, usually are brought In by the sea route from European countries to Syrian or Lebanese ahores. Some are smuggled Into Palestine in small fishing smacks. Rumor says the Mufti gets most of his money from India and Germany. The Italian funds he la believed to have received seem to have been cut off by the Anglo-Italian agreement. Leaders Are Few Lack of men who really can lead has handicapped the brigands, but of 1st, the full force of the Mufti's terror has been turned upon the vacllatlng Arab In Palestine, for HaJ Amln does not want the partition commission to think a single Arab might be In favor of the scheme to divide the Holy Land. Thus the Mufti, In exile, has built up for himself the most coveted posi tion In the Arab world today. The French will not arrest him, declining to provoke an Arab uprising in North Africa; the local Syrian and Leban ese authorities will not touch him, because he has wormed his way Into the higher circles. He will be the man of the hour If Arab Independence should become a, reality in part or all of Palestine or If there should be a federation of Arab states.
