Jewish colonization, II setting aside
as a land where the Jews might create
q nation of their own. Today that hope
is largely gone. The Jews came to
Palestine. They liked it. They proved
to be excellent settlers and capable
business men. But the Arabs, whose
religion is strongly anti-Semitic, i'm
mediately began to fight the migra-
ton. Hundreds have been killed in
guerilla warfare. Arabian sentiment
against the Jews has steadily increas-
ed, and it is said that there is grave
danger that the cause may develop
into a holy war. England now has H.
600 troops in Palestine to defend the
Jews-and still the rapine, slaughter
and pillage continues. The result is
hat only $4,000 JESUS a year are to
be admitted to the country-a drop in
a gigantic bucket. There r about l.
900, 900 Jews remaining in Germany
and Austria alone.
The Empower conference took all
this into account. It's attitude was ex-
tremely symapthetic toward this OPP
pressed people. But talk vas about all
hat resulted. No major country is will

many educators, for instance have
left Germany for England and this
country, and obtained suitable occu-
patton. For the rank and file of Jews
there seems to be nowhere to go. All
the big powers r occupied with un-
employment problems. There is not
enough work for their own people,
and not enough money to go around
and they regretfully say, no, when he
asks permission to enter.

OUTWIT ECONOMIC
MISFORTUNE

As an authority points out, life in
surance has not one, but four distinct
functions. First to guarantee security
in old age, if the wage Garner lives.
Third, to enable the insured, after
he has reached retirement age, to Ii
quidate his accumulation gradually
through some income or annuity PLAN.
Fourth, to enable anyone to accu-
mulate an emergency fund to protect
his family, his business, his invest
ments, his property, and himself.
A well insured individual adopts a
program hat takes all these functions
into %accounty. The result is real Soc
ial security against economic misfor-
tune.

SAFETY MOVEMENT

Schools and communities are
showing increasing interest in the
traffic safety problem. Educators,
traffic officials and others have come
to the conclusion that something to
be done-and that the time to do is
now.
Proof of this is found in the wide
spread acceptance of two standard
books OF traffic safety issued by the
National Conservation Bureau. Zone,
"Man and the Motor Car" is designed
for high schools. It's sale has exceed
ed 10000 copies and numerous special
editions have been issued by state de-
partments. 1t is used as a standard
text in thousands of schools and its
vivid message is reaching hundreds of
thousands of young people.
The other book, Creating Safer
Communities" is a guide for planning
and executing sound community traffic
control programs. So far 81 of the
states have published authorized edi-

MEXICO'S PREDICAMENT
nDO

Almost four months have passed
since President Cardenas of Mexico
and his labor associates seized the pro-
perties Of seventeen foreign oil com
panies. To date the stoly is one of de-
creased production, lowered refinery
runs, lessened employment, wage re-
auctions inferior products and near
economic collapse.
Great Britain has withdrawn her
ambassador after issuing a flat de-
mand that the properties of the British
companies be returned. The United
States has sent a note acknowledging
Mexico's right to appropriate foreign
properties, properties, provided she
was prepared to pay their just value in
good money. Without credit, Mexican
bonds would not be acceptable.
The peso, worth 28c when expro-
priation occurred, is now down to zoe.
The substantial payments of taxes by
the foreign companies have ceased.
The number of jobs has been dicished
and the cost of living has taken a vlo-
lent Jump. The status of $4,000 work
ers is lower than it was before the ex-
preparation.
If these MATES concerned only the
oil companies and the Mexican people
they would not disturb the average CT
tizen of the United States. Unf0rtu-
nately, part of the costs of Mexicos
action falls ON us. There are some 3OO,-
600 investors in the United States who
r the real owners, through their
companies, of the oil properties. They
have a right to demand that Mexico
return the properties or buy them at
their just value. There are a larger
number of citizens engaged in the pro-
duction and manufacture of products
going into export business, who are
likewise losers. Unable to sell the
seized oil in the United States Mexico
has been trading it to foreign coun-

HAVEN FOR SAVINGS

Proof of the fact that the Amer
can people look upon life insurance as
a safe haven for savings as well as a
protector of dependents is found in
some figures concerning the sale of an
nuities.
An annuity, strictly speaking, is
not insurance at all. 1t is all investment
and savings, Yet in recent decade the
premiums paid for annuties increased
relatively six times as fast as the pre-
miums paid for life insurance. And
during that decade life insurance pre-
miums, as well registered substantial
advances.
The wise policyholder buys two
kinds of contracts. One is for the ben
eft of his dependents in case of his
death. Tibet other is for the future, in
case he lives to retirement age. That
program gives full protection.

Our State Department has follow

apparently been misunderstood by the
Mexicans as tacit approval of their
actions. It seems to be time for the
State Department to take further act

Business Week says that "the main
thing to hold to is that a broad turn
around in ~rirection is being achieved
this summer, and that the last half of
1873 will be marked by a significant re
vival from last years ~collopse.0
Most business publications and
commentators are in accord with that
view. The boom in the stock market
fooled almost everyone-and the fact
that the relatively high levels reached
have been held, is perhaps the best
sign Of all. The status of individual
an corporate sentiment is definitely
better than it was a short time back.

When representatives of 80 ma
tions recently met in France to disclss
the refugee problem and attempt to
arrive at some sort of a solution, it
didn't make headline news. But to the
thoughtful observer the conference
served to emphasize the fact that this
one of the most tragic and difficult So
cial and economic problems of the mo-
dern age.
Never in modern history has the
plight or racial mlnorltles principally
the Jews, been so bitter. Inc poroms
OF ancient times almost pale INTO IN
significance beside those OF today. Ger
many, OF course is the seat of the Jew
ish oppression. 1t is apparently Hit
ler's desire to completely eliminate
Hebrew influence of any kind in leu
tonic territory. In Germany, and also
in Austria since the anschluss Jews
have been forbidden to engage in most
field of profitable occupation. Even
when they are not of business, their
stores r placarded, and the German
who trades with them at once
into conflict with the dread Nazi Sc
cret police. Jewish professional en-
doctors, lawyers writers, teachers
are boycotted. In German schools the
instructors tell their pupils to have
nothing whatever to do with Jews,
either socially or as a matter of bust
ness. Persons with as little as one
eighth Jewish blood are classified as
Semitics and are consequently ostra-
cized. In brief the Jew under Hitler's
dream of a race of Nordic supermen
is regarded as an enemy of the state.
Matters would not be so bad were
the Jews allowed to leave Germany and
Austria with what resources they po-
ssess TO seek a place in other lands. But
the Jew who is given a German pass
port is necessarily a bankrupt. His
money his property even his personal
effects are taken from him. He must
leave his home and his occupation with
no resources with which to make a
fresh start. And according to late re-
ports the German government is going
farther in the case of rich Jews and is
virtually holding them for ransom.
For example it is said that the release
from Austria Of Louis Rothschild head
Of the Vienna branch of the great
European banking house can only be
obtained when and if his foreign fri
ends and relatives give S1OOOOOOO to
the Reich.
A biting commentary on the ques-
is found in the fact that Myron c. lay
lor, American delegate and chairman
of the 80 nation conference, recently
pleaded with Germany to permit re-
fugees to take their personal belong
ings away with them-and received no
answer.
Some time ago it seemed that the
problem might be solved by the action

Advice to LOvel0rn
By Beatrice Fairfax

to me, as I imagined some day
we'd be married. I tried to
pick up the threads of my life
and go with another girl. When
girl No. l heard about this, she
sent for me, cried, made a big
scene and said she loved me
after all.
She went back on this and
said she was convinced she
didn't care about me, so made
a date to take another girl to a
dance. When she heard about
it, she begged me to break it
and said she really did love me,
so I took her to the dance and
broke with the other girl. Girl
No. / is again uncertain about
her feelings towards me. Every
time I make a date with some
one else, she's sure she loves me,
but when go back to her again,
she says she's uncertain.

That young lady strikes me as
belonging to the dog-in-the-
manger type. She won't have
you herself, and she doesn't
want anybody else to have you.

her you're not to be whiStled on

Dear Donna Grace:

dresses they all have now. 1
have prominent ears and a

Dear Bingo:
The rule in good hairdreSsing
and good grooming will always
be the same, and it is: dress
according to your own indi-
vidual type. The high off-the-
face hairdress is smart for some,
but may be unflattering to
others, so stick to your own
style, but conform as much as
possible to the current vogue.

L who stand for anything and

loving them. Then am
ashamed of myself when I read
of the steadfastness of those
girlish hearts and how they
take punishment so gallantly.
! doubt if a man could do it.
What do you think of this girl
and her letter?
Dear Mr.. Antheil: Is it pos
sible for a man who seemingly
failed his girl friend when she
badly needed his support, to
later prove himself faithful? I
loved this man very much over
a period of two years, and we
had a lovely friendship. He
said he loved me. realize now
he did not ask me to marry him.
I often wondered about that
and wanted to ask him but
couldn't.
In three months time my
mother was killed in an acci-
dent; my fathered suffered
shock and died shortly after
ward. lost my job. Then my
boy friend sent wire canceling
q weekend planned with me.
after that no word for two
months-then a letter that
knocked the bottom out OF every
thing. He said he had received
a letter from a girl to whom he
had been engaged before. He
had not heard from her in two
years-he was GLAD to hear from
her, to see her, happy they
would soon marry as he had
missed her terribly and that is
why his friendship progressed
so slowly with me. He still
wanted to write to me, how
ever.
II replied his confession was
good material for a love story
magazine, and if he had more
to tell to please send it on to the
magazine. It ought to win first
prize. I told him not to waste
more time or me, but to make
up to the girl for the two miss
ing years.
Two weeks later I received a
note saying he was transferred
to a distant city and his wed
ding plans postponed. I sent a
sarcastic note saying it was too
bad he and his love were parted
so soon and that I wondered
how they could bear the strain.
NV one thought was to end the
letters that hurt me so.
At Last
He Came Back
1T took me four months to
get a job and rearrange my
badly upset life. A well-meaning
friend wrote to the man telling
all about my troubles. He came
to visit my brother with whom
I was living. I had not told
the family of my affairs. He
now claims he cares for me and
always did. I say if he cared
for me he would never have
written as he did. I say hateful
things to him which seem to
hurt very much. He claims all
he wants is to marry me and
take care of me.
IT claim if he had been a real
friend he would have come to
me when I needed him. We
argue and argue about this. He
says he needs my help and I
shouldn't withhold it.

Is being reasonable? Frankly.
