Moslem Brotherhood Is Cause
0f Concern to Western World
3 BY PETER IDSON
. NEA Washington Correspondent
WA§IIINGI‘ON—E%QYIi|I(i recent uprisings in
Egypt, the assassination of Prime Minister Mahmoud
Fahmy Nokrashy by a young student fanatic and
the recent attempt to blow up the Cairo Court of
Appeals, are terroristic activities of the Moslem
Brotherhood. Lo W egneE
This is an organization little known outside the
Middle East. The Egyptian (:ov(,-rnmeht is now at
tempting to stamp it out. Many of its ledders are
under arrest. But with a membership now claimed
to be in excess of 500,000, the Brotherhood may be
difficult to suppress. And with the whole Moslem
world now in ferment because of postwar develop
ments in Palestine, Kashmir, Indonesia and else
where, diplomats the world over are watching acti
vities by the Moslem Brotherhood closely as a pos
sible Key to future developments.
Founder and leader of the Moslem Brotherhood
is Hassan Al Banna, who is called “The Sheik” and
“The Supreme Guide.” He is a former teacher, son
of a watchmaker, believed ta be about 40 years olds
He is fepyted to be a powertul orator al?d»a leader
who imspires his followers to programs of extreme
action, |
Many legends haye now sprung up about his, life,
to indicite how his actions have been guided by
Allah. This ‘has contributed greatly to the religious
fervor, which dominates the Brotherhood.
BROT!IERHOOD GAINED SINCE THE WAR
Sheik Hassan Al Banna started his Brotherhood
in 1930. It had slow growth for 10 years. It began
to take hold in 1942 and has made great gains since
the end of the war.
' Most of the Brotherhood activities are now con
centrated in Egypt. But it claims to have cells in
Syria, the Sudan, Yemen, Lebandn and Iran. Mem
bership is recruited largely from younger elements
of the population, including univegsity students
under:2o. w 1
At ;irgt the Brotherhood was aireligious group.
Its puf‘pbse was stated ifi she slogan, “To' teach the
social ameaning and force of Islam.” What the Su
premé Guide meant by this'was a desire to bring
his people back to the orthodox Moslem way of
life, a§ laid down by the Koran, and to break away
from webterhn civilization. \
Gragl llfi“ihe Brotherhood became a politieal
moveme t."ln addition to wanting the people to
live by the K‘o}m},the Supreme Guide wanted Arab
govexy‘i nts to retiirn to Koranic law: as the basis
for theigcatstifutions and systems: of justice. This
woultf n‘&afija‘ feturn to the old law as “An eye for
an eve and a tooth for a tooth.” These principles
did net ’me—nd to rule out all change from ancient
ways.;Tx zfip was to follow mote close;y the teach
ings of Mohammedanism. S
From .thi'g:“,p;?hit it swas an easy step for the
Brothkri:mé‘,m becomean_ extremely nationalistic
movefne} t%%g:‘knc drills for the young members
were begun. This soon became pre-military train
ing. In the recent military. ¢ampaign in Palestine,
the Mosjem Brotherhood had a brigade of troops
in the figld. . T |
NEXT STEP—TERRORISM 3
Next step was for the Brotherhood to become a
terrodistic organization. Recent. raids by Egyptian
policé‘ Igainst the Brotherhood have uncovered
stores of ammunition and explosives, with plans of
{he houses of many important personages and in-
crimiiaafijngf- ‘p"a;aers indicating plots for assassina
tions fiar#oofiipfibombing of foreign embassies. The
'Brotlkr d_pxi;gram is now definitely anti-foreign.
Tha sléin Prime Minister Nokrashy Pasha’s news
paper; Has charged that the Brotherhood centers
were uséd by Communists for their activities. This
has lieen denied by the Brotherhood’s own news
paper. Terrorism, it is explained, is contrary o
Jslamic_teachings. “So long as the Brotherhood
exists,” the Sheik has declared, “communism will
be fought.” '
It §s believed, however, that the Brotherhood
may well have become the center for all dissatisfied
elements—Communist borers from within as well
as Egyptian liberals interested in raising the stand
ard of living of the common people.
Among objectives which the Brotherhood ad
vanced. in a political manifesto last August were
these Expulsion of all foreign troops. Union of
Egypt svith the Sudan. Withdrawal of all Arab
countribs from: all international organizations. Re
pudiation of treaties with the western world. The
calling. of an all<lslg conference to strengthen
the position of the WMoslern world against Zionism
and L}ulsn‘autg.;”ax? is the program which has
caused such concern ig. the western world.

Place The Right Value
On Education
The people of Georgia will soon have a
chance to say whether or not they wi<h to
have their taxes raised in order to mee(
the requirements of the proposed mini
mum plan for education in Georgia. It
will take something like thirty million
dollars of extra taxes to take care of the
requirements for this proposed improve
ment of the educational tacilities of Geor
gia. B
That brings up the question as to Just!
how much value the people of Georgia'
reaily put on education. If the thirty mil-'
lion dollars were distributed evenly|
througn the entire population it weuld!
amount te less than ten dollars a year.
But, of coursz, it will not be evenly dis-i
tributed.. Some of our péovple will pay
very little, some of them nothing annl
others will pay sizeable sums of this extra
tax. But with all that the maximum
amount that any citizen wi!l have to pay
would be inconsiderable compared with |
the personal expenditures of that person. |
It all comes back to tha question of how
much value one puts on education as com
pared with many other things in life for
which money is spent out of the personal
income.
A man will not hesitate to spend two
thousand dollars for an automobile and
turn around and kick on a raise of one!
hundred dollars by a struggling college!
that is educating his boy or girl. It is quite
evident that such a man is thinking morel
about the automobile than he is about his
son’s education. It is costing him ten times
the amount of college tees. And that is
simply an example. The average Ameri
can is thinking more about the immateria!
things of life than he does about the es
sentials and placing a higher valuation on
them. ¢ |
Years ago there was an effort made to
authorize a modest tax on the people in
the rural districts of Clarke county te in
crease the school term three months in the
years. In the first campaign that etfort
was lost, but won in the second election
later on. In that first election there was a
farmer who had three children in school.
He maintained that he was paying every
cent of taxes he could afford and didn't
care to pay any more. And yeb that same
mait was spending two dollars a week for
corn whiskey at the Athens Dispensary.
The amount he would have had to pay in
extra taxes had all been figured out by
the worker for the educational side of the
election. His share would have been ex
actly fifteen cents per year. In other words
he thought that much more about his li
quor than his children’s education.
When the people of Georgia come to
vote on this question of extra taxes for
education, they should endeavor wo place
a correct value on the education it wili
afford their children and their grandchil
dren.
No Consolation For Stalin
Joe Stalin has left no stone unturned to
soften'up America and to undermine Am
erican public opinion. In all that he has
donre he has gained nothing. |
- When George C. Marshall, on account
of failing health, was forced to leave the
cabinet, Stalin thought he might get on
better terms with America through the
change in the office of Secretary of State.
But the Russiaa dictator gets no censo
lation from the appointment of Dean
Acheson. Acheson has told the Senate
committee that he stands squarely behind
the policies of General Marshall.
And there is another thing that has
bean brought home to Stalin. That is that
in dealing with a man named Harry Tru
man he has a tougher proposition than
ever confronted him in dealing with
Roosevelt. Roosevelt was a finished poii
tician and Truman is not, though he has
an uncanny talent in reading the thoughts
of the masses of the American pecple as
was demonstrated in the recent presiden
tial elaction. 98 :
But there ‘is one thing that Stalin will|
find about President Truman 1n every con-l‘
tact he may have with him. He will find
Truman about as stubborr a gentleman as!
he has ever dealt with. When Truman!
sets his foot down on a proposition it stays
there. There is ho such thing as driving|
him, and when he has made up his mind|
fully on a question he is not given to com-'j
promise. 8 |
Qo there is little or no consolation forJ‘
Stalin’ in the way American affairs ar

ECHOES FROM MEMORYI._AND
What Use Would S’a;\ Have For Sirdl{;ioses
Montefiore in Hell? ’
B T. W. REED
In July 1912, upon the death ot
Dr. M. L. Troutman, Bishop Mec-
Coy named Rev. James C. Morris
as pastor of the First Methodist
Church to succeed its lamented
pastor.
The members of the church
knew nothing about their new
pastor. In fact, they wanted a
younger man and Dr. Morris was
past seventy-five. We thought he
was simply an old, outworn
preacher and that he would not
meet the requirements of the sit
uation. But we made up our minds
to back up Bishop McCoy and take
our medicine.
Well, we were fooled good and
proper. Our new pastor, in spite
of his age, took a walk every
morning on Lumpkin Stree to
Five Points, back down Miiledge
Avenue to Hill Street and on
down town to the church biulding,
a distance of at least three miles.
There was nothing physieally
weak about-that kind of a man.
Mentally he was as bright as a
silver dollar. We found him.to be
quite scholarly and that at one
time he had served as president of
Centenary College in Kentucky.
Spiritually. he was verily a prince
in Isreal. We kept him here sev
eral months, as long as Bishop
McCoy would let him stay, and
later on when he was seventy
nine years old he was again sent
here for a few months and we
would have been glad t o have
kept him permanently if we could
have done so under the rules of
the Methodist Church.
One Sunday morning Dr. Morris
preached on the subject of “The
Jews.” He invited all the Jews in
Athens to the services and a
number of them came. I do not
remember much of what he said
but it was a sermon of love, good
feeling, tolerance and sympathy. It
was right down my alley then as
it still remains today for I abhor
all religious intelerence and num
bers of my best friends have been
and many still are to be found in
the Jewish faith. There are plen
ty of good Protestants, good Cath-~
olics, good Jews, good Mohamme
dans, etc. The main thing is what
a man is, not what creed he pro
fesses.
I am recording just now one
story that Dr. Morris recounted.
It fixed itself in my memory and
1 have often repeated it on occa
sions when I felt that it fitted into
situations that arose.
It was a story concerning the
life of Sir Moses Montefiore, a
wealthy London Jew whose life
had been such as to win the fa
vorable opinion of England’s great
queen, Victoria, who elevated him
to a peerage in England.
| ‘Worth Many Millions ,
' Sir Moses was worth several
millions dollars. He was chiefly
interested in spending it for the
benefit of mankind. Without re
gard to race or creed, he helped
clean up the slums of London.
During the Crimean war between
England and Russia he furnished
nearly all the physicians in the
British army. He sponsored Flor
ence Nightengale, the illustrious
nurse and Angel of the Crimes
and saw to it that the best nurs
ing attentions was given to the
‘wounded British soldiers. He look
ed after the welfare of British
‘widows and orpnans. Throughout
a long life that stretched to his
ninetieth birthday his heart went
out in loving sympathy .to the
down and out and to all the un-
ment; and salaried employees and
officers of each and all of said
departments; to provide for the
collection, administration, and
proper disbursement of said re
tirement ‘und; to provide for the
raising of such retirement fund;
to provide for setting up a proper
Board to manage said fund and
to formulate proper rules and
regulations in regard thereto; to
provide for age quaiification of
employees and officers; to pro
vide a minimum retirement ben
efit and a maximum retirement
benefit; and to provide benefits
for widows and minor -children
of such employees and officers;
and for the formulation of all
provisions for the purpose of
cagrying out the intention of the
Act; and for other purposes; and
to repeal Acts conflicting here

- When Sir Moses died almost in
sight of the century mark, some
‘wag over in England sent out a
question to all the leading theol
ogians of the world and asked for
an. answer.
-~ Here was the guestion:
’ “What has become of Sir Moses
Montefiore?” ’
Many answers eame back and
)they were of many kinds. Some
of the theologist said he was dead
and roasting in hell. Othets re
plied in learned theological dis
courses to prove that his faith
was wrong and that he merited
severe punishment for his gin of
unbelief. &
One of the answers came from
the president of Princeton Uni
versity here in tfiemg:)ited States,
one of the most eminent Presby
terian theologians in America.
It was brief ‘and to the point.
It. was couched.in few words and
they were simple enough for any
one to understand. They hit the
nail squarely on the head.
This was the answer of the
great Presbyterian theologian to
the question propounded by the
English wag:
“T cannot imagine what Satan
would be able to~do with Sir
Moses in hell.”
Dr. Morris added his own opin
ion that more importance should
always to attached to what a man
really was than to which church
creed he professed.
