...Oriental one like the Japanese. Moreover, they strenuously try to cultivate friendship with the Arabs, who are not only non-Aryan but Semitic. Last week Adolf Hitler received at his Berchtesgaden retreat a tall, straight, bearded Arab dressed in a beautifully embroidered flowing robe. His name was Khalid al Hud, and his position is that of counselor and emissary of Ibn Saud, King of Saudi Arabia, "Guardian of the Holy Places," the most potent and most independent of the Near East's monarchs...
...exasperated by British "broken promises" in the-Near East that hereafter Arab nationalists in general and Ibn Saud in particular would come to Rome and Berlin for help and guidance. Although a discreet silence was kept over what, if anything, Führer Hitler promised Khalid al Hud and vice versa, it was news simply that they had talked. When the German Foreign Office mouthpiece, the Deutsche Diplo-matische Politische Korrespondenz, announced on the heels of the meeting that the Axis would support the Arabs in eliminating British and French influence in the Near East, it was doubly news...
Likelihood was that Khalid al Hud's visit would not result immediately in anything concrete, but was simply another instance of the Axis policy of goading the British and French by flattering the Arab.

Il Duce proclaimed himself "Protector of Islam" two years ago, but last spring he nevertheless invaded Albania, a predominantly Moslem country. In Germany hand-picked Arabs are invited as honor guests to the Nazi Party...

The soft, sweet words that Aggrandizer Hitler undoubtedly whispered to Khalid al Hud at Berchtesgaden, the inflammable anti-British and anti-French propaganda that goes over the ether nightly from Italian and German radio stations, will probably fall on more receptive Arab ears hereafter...
...ministry than ever before in the history of the American church. ... It is a buyer's market that the bishops face. ..." So, in last week's Churchman (Episcopal), wrote Dr. Bernard Iddings Bell, warden of St. Stephen's College (Columbia University's up-the-Hud-son offspring). Dr. Bell had what he called "a modest proposal" to make. Let the bishops, said he, get all candidates for holy orders to sign a pledge to "live a life of self-sacrifice," putting themselves at the bishop's disposal for five years, to go wherever he should...
