Victory in Palestine and the East by Herbert Sidebottom
Herbert Sidebottom writes in the London Times Service echoes in the San Antonio Light and the Philadelphia Public Ledger that Allied aims in Palestine and Macedonia align. He argues three objectives: redeem oppressed lands, defeat enemy policy, and gain strategic points, with Palestine as a Jewish national home under trusteeship and Haifa as a key base. He praises General Allenby’s leadership and foresees Serbian advances in Macedonia, while outlining the enemy’s aims to seize territory and influence from East Africa to India, urging a restructured eastern front for peace.
