He has definite plans for doing
this and he is pushing them en-

First he has asked Congress for
s255.000 TO enable him to hire

men he would recruit in this way
he would form into an expert body

industry had a price problem, steel

In addition, the group would
work on general basic economic
problems. It might take an ex-
tensiye study of the nations dis
tribution system. for instance, OF
it might tackle the question OF the
stoppage in the flow of investment

Next, Hopkins plans to set up
a division under some such title

No problem facing the world is SO
difficult as Palestine. In no other
case is it so difficult to define, let
alone to achieve, complete justice
TO all.
At least three principal interests
tangle in this historic land; /: that
of the great majority of inhabi-
tants, the Arabs; 2: that of the
Zionist immigrants, eyes shining
with the hope of a Jewish home
land and a Jewish state; and 3:
that of the British imperial sys-
TEN, which pledged loyalty to both
Jew and Arab, and which conceiyes
it necessary to empire defense to
have Palestine in friendly hands.
The Balfour Declaration of 1917
which made the Jewish homeland
an allied war aim, was a political
move. Lloyd George admits that at
least the timing of the declaration
was determined by consideration
of war policy. 1t was part OF our
propaganda strategy for mobiliz-
ing every opinion and force thru
out the world which would weaken
the enemy and improve the allied
chances"
In sense it was also the pay
ment of a debt, personal debt to
DR. Chain Weizmann, whose chem
ical skill had saved the British
from threatening shortage of cor
dite. The Germans, too, had toyed
with the idea of promising a jew
ish concession in Palestine, but the
British beat them TO 1t.
From the first, and even today,
there has been certain indefinite
ness about the Palestine aim. Was
Jewish homeland" to mean mere
ly a symbolical seat where Jewish
culture might flourish and develop
undisturbed, or an actually sover-
eign and political Jewish state?
The thought seems to have been TO
begin with the first and gradually
merge into the second If popula-
don growth and progress justified
it.
But since Palestine, and especial
ly Jerusalem, are holy ground not
only TO Jews, but TO Christians and
MohammedanS, it was clearly held
in mind at all times that the Holy
Places" must be kept available TO
all and the rights of Arab and

Willis Thornton's Editorial Or
Palestine Needs Another Solomon

Christian as we'll as Jew preserved.
President Wilson spoke of Jew
ish commonwealth" in Palestine,
and the mandate might even have
been given to America instead OF
Britain except that it was gener-
ally felt the American people would
not accept it.
The League of Nations mandate
went TO the British. They have
administered the actual government
of the country, while Jews, aided
by Zionist movements all over the
world. have been building it up
economically. The Arabs, mean
while, watched apprehensively the
growth of Jewish population, the
building of Jewish cities and in
dustries, foreseeing day when
Jewish predominance might threat
EN- their position.
Repeated studies, commissions, in
vestigators, reports have sought a
permanent allotment OF these con-
flicting interests.
Always in the background have
been British imperial interests as
well, the World war obligation to
the Arabs as allies, the position of
Palestine near Suez and Egypt, the
necessity of not alternating the Mo-
hammedan world.
Into this Welter of conflicting
interests the latest proposal of the
British White Paper has been
flung, with little augury of sue
cess. Truly a 20th-century Solo
mon might be sorely puzzled to
deal even-handed justice to all to-
day in troubled Palestine.

fatigue, infection and undernour-
ishment Of children are common,
and that infections of the nose and
throat often precede rheumatic
fever. The prevention of rheumatic
fever, then, and of the heart disease
that follows it, resolves itself into
improving the living conditions of
the members of susceptible families.
AS soon as case of rheumatic fever
develops, the patient should be
watched carefully for years.
Other Infection
The other infection which causes
heart damage is syphilis, and the
public campaign against this may
do some good in the prevention of
this type of heart disease.
Psychic and nervous causes of
heart symptoms are frequent and
the program for mental hygiene
here is suggested as a preventive
measure.
The thyroid gland and it's extra
activity is very frequent cause
perhaps third in frequency - of
heart disease. With what we know
of the control, with or without sur
gerry, of thyroid disease, much may
be done to control this form.
The most frequent cause of heart
disease and the n4ost destructive,
the one that begins in middle age
with the degenerative changes in
the arteries, high blood pressure
and kidney change, is less suscepti-
BILE to preventive control. Except to
cut down the pressure of life over
80 and bank the fires of activity,
there is nothing that we know to do
for this scourge of our modern day.

Work Will Be Pushed.
CONTRACTS TO BE LET

County Commissioners Mahoney,
HoislngtOn and Frost returned from
Helena Monday and brought back
good news regarding work on high
way No. 81. While in Helena they
conferred with D. A. McKinnon, adj
illustrative engineer for the state
highway department, and Mr.. Nc
Kinnon told them he was prepared
20 go ahead with work on the Rex
ford Eureka project just as soon as
yardage data could be completed
and bids called. He said the de-
partment is now preparing those fig
ures and that bids would soon be
called for He assured them it
would be some time this year.
McKinnon was glad to hear from
the commissioners that they are
going ahead with improvements ON
the Libby-Jennings section under a
WPA set-up. Some yardage fig
ures are needed on this work and
he promised to have them avail
able soon. McKinnon also assured
the Lincoln county commissioners
that whatever work they did at this
time would be of permanent benefit
to the highway, as it could be used
whenever a standard highway is
built on No. 81.
Mckinnon remarked that the
highway commission plans to hold
lettings every two weeks until all
available money is allocated.
The commissioners visit to Hell
ena was valuable one for Lin
coin county as some misunderstood
ing had lodged with the highway de-
partment regarding work here. Nc
Kinnon understood no work had
been started by the county on the
Libby end of No. 81 and he was
thus holding up work on the upper
project. He was much pleased to
learn that work is actually under
way here.
