Arab Recruiting Agent Is Sought By Police
Received Sundav, 7 p.m. SYDNEY, May 9. Secnrity police are searcliing for a man who has f)een posing in Sydney as a recruiting otlicer 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. Secnrity officers say tliere are no genuine recruiting offieers for either Jews or Arabs in AustraJia. They believo that agents wouRl not travel 7000 miles for reeruits when there were so manv English and Gernian ex-servicemen much nearer home. In Melbourne, Mr. John Brass, Hagannah 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 the Jewish relioFfunds. Of this £70,000 had already heen raised in three weeks. A Sydney ; newspaper supports the appeal.
