A warning about this one
The column quoted here repeats an antisemitic trope about Jewish financial and political power and compares Zionists to Hitler. It is transcribed in full because the alternative is to publish only the parts of this newspaper run that are comfortable.
Transcribed from the clipping
“AN ARAB SPOKESMAN sharply criticized U. S. press ‘freedom’ last week for unfairness in reporting Zionist-Arab controversy in Palestine. How true! Arabs have right, justice and common sense on their side, but the Zionists have great financial power, several million U. S. votes and unparalleled propaganda agencies on their side.
Zionist arguments and actions have an uncomfortably familiar sound reminiscent of Der Fuehrer.”
Context added by this archive
A signed column in a Black weekly, agreeing with an Arab complaint about American press coverage. What it then says about financial power, votes and propaganda is an antisemitic trope, and the last sentence compares Zionists to Hitler. It is here because the Black press run in this archive is not a set of clippings chosen for being right.

The clipping belongs to the newspaper that printed it, or to the news agency that supplied the copy. It is reproduced here for research, criticism and commentary. A city here is where the newspaper was published, not where the story came from, and on most records it was taken from the masthead.
