precis of a note of M.Belkassim Benf.abyles dated
16th April 1941.
Since the outbreak of war, I rave been careful! v following
the Broadcasts in Arabic intended for ’ he Moslem world, and
especially those for forth Africa as well as for bgypt end Sy
ria. England, Cermgny and Italy conduct on energetic propaganda
and the speakers rival each other in eloquence and skilM to
attract and entice.
Italian pro pa. And a . Let it be at once said tint
Italian propaganda is absolutely insignificant ,- it is a bad
case in the" hands of a bad advoca te.
The people of Islam still remember the doings of Mussolini
in Abyssinia and in Ibania.
G-eman pro at mane.; . Ifcis certainly no the case with
kaaix that which is carfied out on ti.e banks of the fpree. fhe
Germans have a better developed and better suited sense of
pro Uganda, amongst Mohcmmedsns.. The impression given is that
the speaker underspends that the spiritual tendencies peculiar
to the Arabs and appeals to the bent of their state of mind.
And so, first of all, the speaker recites a shorn verse of
the Kor x , in the cultivated speech of Arabia or Egypt. Then
in clear ana terse terns, re gives £ review of events. It is
a narnative which introudees other subjects into the recital,
often embellished "it literary allusions, an< the speaker
leads his audience on to ground inhere he is sure he will win
them over. He introduces nhe delicate problem of race: a.nd let
in be understood that his favour!tex subject is li9*Je dsh
question.
