Blcoibcr ,f the rlilra Cress , ; The Associated Press Is axclnsively entitled is the bm for pablleatloa wt mU HmDnittba aredUed to U wl otherwise credited la this Palestine at Lake Success : By reference of Great Britain, holder of a mandate under the old league of nation! for the adntinlatration of Palestine, the vexing issue between Jews and Arabs comes before the . Assembly of the United Nations meeting at Lake Success. The immediate question is not how to handle Palestine but the appointment of a commission for inquiry and later report vto the assembly. In the opening rounds the Arabs were defeated in their appeal for the opportunity to plead for an independent Palestine. On the other rjarid Jewish organizations as' such were denied representation at the assembly."" The fact of a dispute between Jews and Arabs in the ataent Holy Xand is well known. Interest now in the contro , ersy is heightened by the problem of placing some 200,000 homeless Jews in Europe, because of their just claim on the mercy of the world. The Zionist movement (restoration of the Jews in Pales tine) is of comparatively recent origin, having been founded b Theodor Herd in 197. It made little headway until the time of the first world war when. Britain endorsed the idea in the now-famous Balfour declaration which was - later incor porated in the mandate of the league of nations. Under this policy Jews migrated to Palestine and their numbers grew from 63.000 in 1919 to an estimated 8004)00 today. This influx of Jews disturbed the Arabs, particularly the leaders. The Jews lived on a higher standard of Jiving than the Arabs and launched irrigation and farming projects lor developing the country, and Arabs sold them lands. Today, while there are twice as many Arabs as Jew living in Pales tine, the latter pay nearly 80 per cent of the income tax. The Arabs, -occupying strategic lands in the middle east, rich ,ia oil, have -exerted pressures against Great Britain to stop Jewish, immigration. . In 1939 Britain gave out the White paper announcing a limit of 75,000 Jews a .year entering: Palestine for five years. Since .August last the entry is limited to 1,500 per month, lileantime Jews are fighting to get out of Europe and seek by land and sea to get into Palestine. Britain patrols the sea and escorts captured carrier vessels to Cyprus where Jews -are -put in camps. Over a-year ago an Anglo-American commission recommended immediate admission of 100,000 Jews but the British .government refused its assent. President Truman gave his approval. Chafing under Testraints some Jews in Palestine resort to violence against the British, and many lives have been lost as a result. In despair of reaching a solution through negotiation Britain nas asked the UN to take jurisdiction. Pertinent questions which must .be answered some time are these: Shall Jewish immigration again be tolerated, and if ao in what numbers? Shall the land be separated with definite portions allotted to Jews and to Arabs? Shall Palestine be given independence. Or divided into two states, or retained under a mandate? .1 11 . "Racially the Jews and the Arabs are -akin. They differ in religion -though Mohammedanism has roots going back into Judaism. The great contrast is in the mode of life: the Jews are moderns; the Arabs adhere to the customs of long ago. In tackling this problem the United Nations tackles-one of -the thorniest in the whole "field of tribal relations and aspira tions. Some way -must 'be found to keep the peace in Palestine. Perhaps that would be a good place for the UN police force to -m . : ri j Li. . l ii a. . x m kii w iuatuuii. a in? uurtuic jcw is mvs uwi grow uui ui. agreement 'and compromise; but there is nothing in the attitude of the principals which indicates any willingness to compromise. That is why the outlook is so gloomy even with the UN setting up procedures to search for -a. -solution. "riee f America" The Statesman was wrong in doubting the value of the .radio programs beamed to Russia as the "Voice of America. - The programs are being heard, and appreciated. The commun ists must know they are coming in because Ilka Ehrenberg condemns them as dull .and full of falsehood. Other people hear Ihem too, lor the state department is getting letters, 10,000 a month, from over the world, commenting on the broadcasts. Even Russians are writing in expressing interest in the pro grams and hoping they will be continued. And the department's , Russian-language periodical "Amerika" is being received and read in Russia. 50,000 -copies of each issue are sold to Russians who pay at the rate of 83c per copy; and in Russia literature is so scarce that copies pass from hand to hand for further .reading."" . , . . Tne house appropriations committee, thinks it can save money by cutting off this division-of information in "the state department. Maybe it can; but perhaps the broadcast of facts about the United States may be seed that will "bear good fruit in better international understanding. We give hundreds of .millions of dollars worth of foods and supplies. Perhaps we should 'spend a small sum tor ; export of honest "propaganda" about America. - SIS JOTS (Continued from Page 1) nature was real and continuous. His own heart speaks when he writes: . "To me the meanest flower that grows can give, . Thoughts that lie too deep for words." . I can well understand why my correspondent took pen in hand to defend Wordsworth, for she .foes on to write: In my college days I did much at my literary work under the driving impetus of Oregon's famed Professor Howe, who could read Shakespeare and the poets, to our completely -enchanted ears, but who exacted in -return arduous application in all his classes and got it No primrose path of dalli ance there and as Wordsworth was his particular love, -we were grounded in him to the Jast faint phrase. We students used to in sist that Professor Howe slept with a copy of the poems under his pillow. Certainly at times, some of us did in the interest of pass ing .grades. ' "He named his only daughter Lucy "She. dwelt among the un trodden ways" "Oft I had heard of Lucy Gray" and 1 think there are other "Lucys. And I believe he always felt that his coast home by the lovely "Gray's -Lakes" -at Seal Hocks, several of which he owned, was -the proper setting for the contemplation of Wordsworth, as Indeed it was. ' . "In spite of all -o ur tetrr Wordsworth I -owe Jiim the great est debt for my acquaintance and understanding - of the poets, -all pf whom and Browning, -remain clear and concise to me to this day." ' What-a fine tribute to a great teacher! How fortunate is ' the student whose teacher of literature can read, really read the poets, read them in cadences not merely of rythm but of thought. Then he captures the poet's vision and in sight, mounts with Shelley's sky lark, breaks the bonds of circum stance -with Browning's rapturous Pippa, .gains sight, with Words worth, "of that immortal sea which brought us .hither." Small wonder having had the tutelage of Professor Howe,, that -my friendly critic retains such lively recollections of the verse and the mood of the poets and has woven literature into her life. JEWISH LEADER DIES NEW YORK, May 3-W-Henry Moautky, 57, international presi dent of B'nai iB'tith, Jewish frat ernal organization, died, May 2. Public Records TTIit Fishing CcU Poorer The Rogue river is famed as a fishing stream, for salmon, staelhead and trout. Wo commercial fishing is allowed on the stream, snot it attracts -sports fishermen from all over the country. The reporter of the Grants Pass Courier describes fish ing on the 'Rogue as he observed it in a drive five miles oipriver: J fine of boats was anchored across the channel, from where we parked. Here thirty-two people in eleven boats formed a' ' barricade at the head of a riffle. : We were told by one 'of the river guides that there was one line cf -beats, and sometimes two lines, across the head of very run" -of water from the bridge upriver for eight miles. He said 250 boats would be a close estimate. With an average of three people to a boat, that would mean 750 people fishing from dawn ts dark. We sat down on the bank to watch the show. Four of the eleven boats landed Royal Chinooks in the one hour we watched. A poor fish doesn't have much chance to rim such a gaunt let of fishermen. Holers for Relief Over in Yamhill county 27 heifers have been assembled and will be shipped to Europe under the Heifers for Relief organization. Initiated by the Church of the Brethren the pro- gram has received general endorsement by church and other groups. Sending the heifers to needy countries will provide milk for children and renew herds of dairy cattle, since only' good stock is sent overseas. This form of relief has continuing "life. So one should be fooled as to theype of government Presi dent Juan Fersa is running in Argentina. Already he runs the executive and legislative departments, has -pretty well stifled press opposition, and now stands to control the supreme court. The senate has approved impeachment of three of the justices so now Peran can name a majority of the Cfjurt. And he didn't lisve to press xmirt-padring bill to accomplish his purpose. Pei on is just an Argentine edition of a fascist boss, who rides high on the strength of Argentina's prosperity. A Texas expert on snakes disputes the claims of virtue lor the old femedy f or iukebite. He even says that whisky is harmful to one JSufieTinjg from -the bite af a snake. From a Texan this is remarkable testimony. : ' CIKCUTT COUET Elton Lee Ball and others vs Lewis D. McAllister and -Roy Sim mons: Order of default of de fendant McAllister. 1 - Eula F.
