Demands of Teachers in the Schools
of the Jewish Community
We received a word from a "teacher" describing
the status of various institutions belonging to the Jewish
community in Baghdad, and then he says that about
four months ago, the male and female teachers
of the Jewish community schools submitted
a petition to the Jewish Schools Committee
requesting the equalization of their salaries with the salaries
of public school teachers and the establishment of a fixed
system for promotion and guaranteeing a retirement pension
on which the teacher can live during old age or inability
to work.
However, the Jewish Schools Committee
ignored this request, and after several
follow-ups, the committee promised the teachers it would fulfill
their aforementioned demands, but to no avail.
The committee finally resolved to increase
the salaries of teachers who did not receive
an increase last year by an amount of one and a half
dinars, and increase the salaries of teachers who
were promoted last year by an amount of one dinar.
The author of the word says that this rate
of increase is unfair, and he requests the fulfillment
of the teachers' demands referred to above.

And God is with us!
The colleague (Iraq Times) published in
its local news the day before yesterday the following report.
(Iraq Times) recently received
an unsigned letter written in carbon on
unstamped paper (without a distinguishing watermark)
It was written in French and placed inside
an envelope sent by mail from Baghdad and written
in French: -
« We have waited for a very long time while
our Zionist enemies were working secretly and openly
trying to steal Palestine from us ».
« And it will not be long before the world talks about
(Arab Defenders of Palestine), which is an institution
founded by (our President) with the help of several dignitaries from
every country that wishes to put an end to the power of the international
Zionists and fight the forces of evil ».
« Our brothers in Palestine ask for nothing
other than to live in peace with the peaceful Jews,
but nevertheless they will not be able to remain quiet
without lifting a finger when they see their country
turning into a battlefield. Likewise, we
cannot remain idle, because their cause
is our cause ».
« We have decided to fight the invader and
we have laid our plans, and with the help of our
European friends we will strangle evil at its source ».
« (Our President) has ordered us not to carry out any
action in Palestine temporarily because there is much
misery prevailing in the country. But justice
will take its course - this is as certain as
night follows day - and the hour has drawn near
and God is with us » . ⟦The News⟧

Anonymous Letter
to the Editor
The letter below is published al-
though it is anonymous not be-
cause the Editor considers it to
have news value, but to prove that
this paper is not afraid of critic-
ism, particularly when it is child-
ish. Because he has, since the
publication of the message it des-
cribes, been bombarded by letters
from apparent Zionists, he takes
this opportunity to point out that
the circular on the Arab under-
ground was published, not as a
Letter to the Editor, but as a news
item as a matter of very consider-
able public interest. Any further
anonymous letters on this subject
will go, like the earlier ones, into
the waste-paper basket. Letters
accompanied by names and ad-
dressed are always welcome.
To The Editor,
SIR, In The Iraq Times dated 21st
June, 1947, you published an
anonymous message in the local
news column under the heading
"Arab underground to fight for
Palestine."
It is indeed very amazing to know
that paper like The Iraq Times
which abides by the publishing rules
goes out of the way to publish an un-
signed letter after taking the trouble
of translating it from French to Eng-
lish.
The motive in publishing such let-
ters are too obvious to the public, it
is part of the British Policy to start
enimosity between Jew and Arab
and to give instructions to the Arabs
by way of suggestions.
The world is tired of the well
known British Policy of "Divide and
Rule" and the Arabs know too well
who is the real enemy.
We advise the respectable paper
not to publish such absured letters
less, by so doing it will draw ridicule
to itself, and in the end we ask the
honourable editor if in publishing
that letters he was promted by the
freedom of the press; will he apply
the same rule to this letter thereby
showing us the British democracy
and freedom of the press of which
we have heard a lot.
Yours (X).

Arab Underground
to Fight for
Palestine
The following anonymous mes-
sage, duplicated on unwatermarked
paper, was received by The Iraq
Times recently. It was written
in French, and contained in an en-
velope posted in Baghdad and ad-
dressed in French:
"We have waited too long while our
Jewish enemies have worked.
Openly and covertly, they have
tried to steal our Palestine from
us.
"Soon the world will talk of the
Arab Defenders of Palestine, an
organisation created by our Chief
with the assistance of many no-
tables from every country, who
wish to put an end to Jewish
world power and to fight the for-
ces of the spirit of evil.
"Our brothers in Palestine ask no-
thing except to live in peace with
the peaceful Jews; nevertheless
they cannot remain undisturbed
when they see their country trans-
formed into a field of battle. We
also cannot remain inactive, since
their cause is our cause.
"We have decided to fight the in-
vader. Our plans are made and
with the help of our European
friends we shall stifle the evil at
its source.
"Our Chief has ordered us to take
no action in Palestine for the mo-
ment, because there is already too
much misery. But as surely as
day follows night justice will be
done. The hour approaches and
God is with us."
Regarding the theft of questions
Much has been said about the theft of questions
for general examinations, and rumors have
gone in various directions regarding how to obtain
them; some were accurate and some were not, but I
in this statement clarify what I felt with my hands, what
I saw with my eyes, and what I heard with my ears.
The theft of questions stems from two sources
in addition to the rest of the sources that we cannot
deny: The first source is the children
of prominent figures whose cars
were roaming the streets all night; leave this aside,
as they meet in the morning by themselves
and discuss them, so if a student arrives
who has no knowledge of the questions, the course of the conversation changes.
They spread through them, as each gave them
to his friend, and so from friend to friend
and from relative to relative. Likewise,
these individuals were at the forefront of students solving the questions
at a time when the strongest students could not complete
the questions, even though the level of these individuals is much
lower than the level of some students, and that is
due to what you know about their abilities in school,
and school averages are the best witness and proof.
As the general results appear, we hope they are compared
with school averages; at that point, the truth
will emerge. The other point is that
these individuals, when solving the questions, you see them with the pen
flowing like a torrent; neither does their pen stop for a moment
nor do their tongues falter for a second, as if revelation
descends upon them while they write. This is
the first source.
As for the second source, it is what I heard with my ears
from one of the students of Shamash School, right after
his exit from the hall, when his friend asked him
inquiring about his answer, and he said: How could I not answer?
The school administration bought the questions for (400)
dinars and distributed them to the students for free, and this
spread is only through us. After this
confession, we cannot speak except by presenting
these actions to the Ministry of Education so that
it may conduct an investigation with the real thieves
and so that justice takes its course.
Muhammad Ahmad Al-Khafaji
Al-Sijill: What we have learned is that the questions
were given to Al-Hilla by telephone and there they became
in high demand.

Denounces the statements of Zionist leaders
Damascus 26: The Israelite Community Council
in Syria holds a general meeting
to draft a memorandum to be submitted to the Secretariat
General of the United Nations, declaring therein that
what the International Commission of Inquiry heard from
some Zionist leaders about the persecution
of Jews in the Arab countries has no basis in
truth; and the Council will send a telegram to this
effect to the Commission of Inquiry in Geneva.

A Word of Reproach
To our Jewish brothers in Iraq
Recent telegrams reported that the Jewish
communities in Egypt, Syria, and Lebanon have
sent various telegrams and messages to the
International Commission of Inquiry, expressing their solidarity
with the Arabs with whom they have lived in permanent harmony
and sincere affection, and expressing
their absolute support for the just Arab demands
and the national rights claimed by the original
people of Palestine. More importantly, those
communities responded violently to the statements
of Zionist leaders in which they declared that
Jews live a life of misery, tyranny,
and humiliation in Arab countries. They showed that
since they settled in these lands, they have had
the same rights as all citizens
and attained all the privileges enjoyed by their
Arab brothers, and that Arabs and Jews in
the East lived for century after century dealing
with each other and living together as any
citizen lives. And if any misunderstanding
occurred, it was due to the Europeans who
intervened between the sons of the nation, wanting to
divide them.
And how beautiful it would have been if our brothers
in Iraq had done this, while the Arab nation is in a
decisive position among its positions in the fields of struggle. And how
much of a beautiful impact this work would have had on the souls
of the people of the Arab countries, who would have known that among
them are Jewish communities who feel
their feelings and fight their struggle.
And how much we regretted that Iraqi Jews did not
participate in this arena and declare, along with
their Jewish brothers in the Arab countries, that they
lived in Iraq in affection and harmony and that they
refute the Zionist allegations that distort
the situation and attack the Arabs on every occasion
accusing them of harming the Jewish community
and not treating them with the same kindness as others. Then,
how great was our regret that our brothers
the Jews did not do the same, they who lived in these
lands a life of permanent peace and a life of stability
undisturbed by any distress or troubled by aggression. They
enjoyed all the rights that an Iraqi enjoys
and dealt as every citizen deals
in all fields; in fact, they had the upper hand
in the field of economic life.
If they had participated in this step,
they would have performed their duty by choice and paid
the debts they owe toward their homeland in which
they lived, enjoyed its bounties, breathed
its air, and sought shade under its sky.

Dear Sir,
I am greatly pleased with the progress which my sons
Latif and Victor have made in following their course in your
University, and take this opportunity to express my best thanks.
I deeply regret to state that owing to private excep-
tional circumstances, I am at present in a very difficult financial
position which renders me incapable of incurring the full charge
for the tuition of my sons.
Should they be compelled to leave their studies at this
stage it would mean mar their future. I would therefore very
earnestly beg your kind help.
I sincerely thank you for the assistance which, I hope,
you will not fail to render me in the financially critical and
exceptional period which I pass through at present
I beg to remain
Sir,
Your most obedient servant,
H. S. Dabby
