It is hopeless to attempt to forge a direct link between the peasant of Hupeh and the peasant of Galicia or Dobrudja, the Egyptian fellah and the American farmer.

In addition he imported cotton from East India, sugar cane from America, indigo and pepper, and issued the fellaheen with official directions what to plant and how much of it. The government again claimed the monopoly for cotton and indigo, reserving to itself the exclusive right of buying and selling these goods.

The nearly five months of fighting in Palestine has proved that the Arabs of the country – the ordinary townsmen, the fellahin and the Bedu [Bedouins] of the South – have no heart in the struggle.

So it is not unusual for five-year olds to use five or six dialects in a day, depending on whom they are speaking to. This is very much what people in pre-war Alexandria used to do: they spoke Greek to the grocer, Armenian to the tailor, English to the civil servant, Jews spoke French among themselves, Italian was used with the armourer and people spoke Arab of course with the fellahin peasants.

The marvels of technique which European engineers and European machines performed in the sphere of Egyptian irrigation, transport, agriculture and industry were due to this peasant economy with its fellaheen serfs.

As one young government bureaucrat put it, "Many fellahin here don't let their daughters leave the house to go to school and the like because they fear that their girls will gain a sense of freedom, which is always dangerous....

As one young government bureaucrat put it, “Many fellahin here don’t let their daughters leave the house to go to school and the like because they fear that their girls will gain a sense of freedom, which is always dangerous....
