A Youth Movement is to be launched, and gradually it is hoped the Arabs of both the Americas will be United into a single force.
The initiative for this ambitious project comes from the most active Arab group in South America, the Central Arab Committee of Chile, whose weekly journal Mundo Arabe, 17/3/50, reports the details.
This group boasts of prestige and influence both in Arab countries and in Chile. Its chairman is Sr. Juan Yarur, owner one of the largest Chilean textile concerns, with controlling interests in a number of other firms. He was reported to have negotiated, without success, the engagement as his financial adviser of Dr. Schacht, the former Nazi Minister of Economy...
No evidence is produced to give substance to such startling allegations, but much is explained by the fact that Mundo Arabe presents itself as a faithful follower of the ex-Mufti Haj Amin el Husseini whose portrait appears on the front page on March 17 with a statement that "the spiritual and political leader of the Palestinian Arabs repudiates the Jordanian elections and denounces the 'British conspiracy'."

A demand that the Chilean Government take action against the Chilean Arab newspaper Mundo Arabe if it continues its anti-Jewish campaign is voiced in the widely read Santiago newspaper Noticias de Ultima Hora, just received here. [...] It adds that the Arabe Mundo served as a propaganda organ of the Nazis during the late war and as such was blacklisted by the Allies.
