Memorandum by the Director of the Office of Near Eastern and African Affairs (Murray) to the Under Secretary of State (Stettinius)
Mr. Stettinius: I believe that you will wish to note the attached extract from the Daily News Bulletin of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency,32 which carries an item (page 2) dated October 25, 1944 from Cairo stating that as a result of recent pro-Zionist manifestations in this country the Cairo newspaper Al Wafd al Misri has proclaimed a boycott of American goods and has called on the entire Egyptian press to take similar action. While we do not as yet have any further details regarding this development, it is significant of the growing reaction which is appearing in the Near East as a result of certain recent declarations in the United States in favor of Zionism.
