Police Seek Man Who Has Been Recruiting For The Arabs
Recd. 7.10 p.m. Sydney, May 9 Security police are searching for a man who has been posing in Sydney as a recruiting officer for the Arab Legion. He is reported to have taken deposits from intending recruits as a pledge of good faith that the men would honour their agreement to go overseas. Security officers sav there are no genuine recruiting officers for cither Jews or Arabs in Australia. They believe that agents would not travel 7000 miles for recruits when there were many English and German ex-' servicemen much nearer home. In Melbourne, Mr. John Brass, Haganah representative in Australia, said that he was visiting the Commonwealth on a mission about which there was nothing furtive. He was out to collect £250,000 for Jewish relief funds. Of this £70,000 had already been raised in three weeks. A Sydney newspaper supports the appeal.
