...Arab cause in Palestine has no more expert pleader than polished scholarly George Antonius. An Arab Christian (110,000 of Palestine's 1,000,000 Arabs are Christians) educated at Cambridge, Mr. Antonius was, like Colonel T. E. Lawrence, a British official in Egypt during the World War. After the War he was a member of several British diplomatic missions and an assistant secretary in the Palestine Government until 1930. Mr. Antonius has been to many a foreign correspondent a sort of unofficial spokesman for the Arab High Committee...

Catholic leaders, Detroit's Archbishop Edward Mooney, warned the conferees that "religious leaders in the present struggle between Americanism and Communism for the control of labor . . .

The Christian Century declared that Mr. Roosevelt's speech was "like the attempt of a Mohammedan mullah to raise desert tribesmen to frenzy by preaching another jehad...
...President," said the Christian Century, "there apparently seemed left only one appeal with sufficient emotional content, sufficient power to paralyze men's rational processes, to carry his program for limitless armament spending through Congress.*. . . Every Christian voice should immediately and in unmistakable terms let Congress and the President know that this attempt to drag religion through the hell of a new holy war is resented and repudiated by the churches. . . . This [is] revelation of his utter lack of comprehension of the mind of at least the Protestant churches...
