The Diplomatic Agent at Cairo ( Gary) to the Secretary of State

[Telegram]

107. A Jewish battalion of 350 men reported recruited in the United States for service with the British armed forces in Palestine recently arrived Egypt. On the 20th instant they paraded principal streets Cairo carrying the American, British, and Zionist flags, all of equal size. In view of the acute political situation here in connection with Zionist and Arab movements and also the fact that the United States has not declared war on Turkey, feel that this open display of the American flag should be called to Department’s attention.
