Palestine's war problems fall in
to three principal categories-sup-
plies, defense and air raid pre-
cautions.
The first problem is difficult
because the Holy Land is far from
self-sufficient in many communi-
ties.
The question of military de-
Tense is, of course, entirely in the
hands of the British military COM
mand. Haifa, a British naval base
and terminus of the pipelines from
the Mosul oilfields, is a key point
in defense.
The military authorities have
taken all precautions. Public
buildings have been sandbagged.
Certain sections have been occu-
pied by troops. Civilians are per-
nitted entrance to certain key
points only when in possession of
special permits. Blackout is in eff
feet in Haifa nightly from IL P.
M. sa-'.~
A. r. P. plans generally had not
advanced beyond the paper stage.
Plans for construction of public
A. r. P. shelters were adopted by
the Haifa and Tel Aviv muncipali-
ties before the outbreak of the
war.
Jerusalem's chief concern is the
of water and food
supplies. The Jerusalem water
supply comes from the Ras-el-
Ain wells, some so kilometers
from Jerusalem. Enemy air ac-
tivity over Palestine might well
destroy or so damage the water
system as to leave Jerusalem with
out water.

urged the Palestine administra-
ton to accumulate water supplies
in Jerusalem reservoirs and also
to repair the water supply from
the famous Solomon Pools, some
8 kilometers from Jerusalem,

Poles Pamphlet
On Emigration
StirS Resentment

LONDON (JTA)-Deep dismay
and resentment has been caused
in Jewish quarters by the publica-
ton of a booklet by M. K. Gu
chowski, secretary of the Polish
National Council in America,
which declares that "at least
100000 Jews must emigrate
from Poland" and only when "the
percentage of Jews in Poland is
reduced to at least one-third of
the present number will the Jew
ish problem be solved, or rather
cease to exist"
1t is pointed out that Gluchow-
ski is also director of the Polish
Information Bureau, cooperating
closely with the Paris official de-
partment of the same name.

Commentator Dorothy ThOmp-

One tendency the anti-fifth col

Georqe Yantis Is Candidate
For SchWellenbach's Post

The seriousness OF the condi-
tons which now confront the
nation, both because of our only
partly adjusted economic situation
and because of the violence and
chaos in the outside world, have
concerned me so that l find it
impossible not to try at least TO do
my part in an emergency.
THE dictators are not gods and
there is no magic in their formu-
las. Their people, desperate from
desperately bad conditions, have
sought the safety of complete
authority and have surrendered
liberty. Any economic adjust
ments that are good. which they
have made, can also be made in
a democracy without the surren-
der of liberty.
THE dictators have succeeded in
war because e.. they have had
the organizing ability to provide
crushing weight of men and ma
chimes at precisely the right time.
America has the resources, the
men and IT, production machinery
to equal and surpass the military
machine of any other nation, and
can be absolutely safe within her
borders, If she chooses.
II believe that the democratic
form of government is the only
form consistent with human dig
nifty and in the long run the only
form that is safe"

DR.. Todd Happy Over Choice Of
DR.. Baxter as Methodist Bishop

Dr. Edward II. Todd. president
OF the College Of Puget Sound,
was probably the first TO congratu-
late his friend. DR.. Bruce Baxter,
president of Willamette university,
on his election as bishop of the
Methodist church in the Portland
area. So sure was DR.. Todd that
his friend would be the choice of
the western lurisdictional confer
ence meeting in San Francisco this
week, that ne wrote his congratu-
latory letter IN advance. and gave
it to Charles A. Robbins, one Of
the lay delegates from Tacoma, to
be given to Bishop" Baxter as
soon as the election was an
nounced.
On Board at c. p. 8.
81 have known Or. Baxter in
timately for g number of years, "
said DR.. Todd. Il esteem him very
highly as a man and a Christian.
He is square in all his associations
and loyal to the church. His cleo
ton as head of the Methodist
church in the Portland area will
automatically place him on the
board of trustees of the College of
Puget Sound. We shall be FORUM
ate in having his council and as
sistance."
DR.. Baxter is the first western
bishop to be elected since the
changed policy of the Methodist
church placed the election OF
bishop in the area to be served in
stead of the general conference.
He also is one of the youngest
bishops in the church, being only
AZ years of age.
Never Had Passionate
Another departure from the
usual procedure in the election of
DR.. Baxter is that he is. as far as
the available record shows. the
first bishop in the Methodist
