Jews And Arabs Declare Truce in Holy

Rising Economic Prosperity

Jewish sections of old Jerusalem
this morning and found Jews buying
from Arab shops and Arabs trading
in the Jewish quarter.
At the famed Wailing Wall I saw
Jews arriving there by way OF a
short cut through the Arab quarter
while Arabs dld not hesitate to walk
past the wall sacred to the Jews.
Both Jews and Arabs to whom [
talked assured me that this was
new development during the past
few weeks. AT the 100 per cent
Jewish town of Tel Aviv Arabs also
were entering and resuming business
lelationS.
In two Jewish cabaretS which I
visited Arab young men not only
dared enter but bought Jewish girls
beer, whiskey and cocktails wh1
they themselves slipped fruit juicN
in accordance with the non -alco-
holic preceptb of Islam. These
same Arabs ard JeWesses danced
together which l was assured, de
noted the first fraternization which
has become general since the Arab
uprising which started three years
ago.
This new development of jewish
Arabic relations was believed to have
an economic baSC-the money spent
in Palestine by British forces which
are flooding in. Especially the
thousands of Australians, called
millionaire soldiers" by the natives
because they get seven ShillnGS

THE FIRST TEST OF
PAN-AMERICAN SOLIDARITY

Will an attempt to enforce the Pan
American declaration of Havana lead TO
war for the United States?
We NAV see, within short time, if
France goes ahead with her announced
plans to expand naval facilities at Port
of France on the Island of Martinique In
the West Indies.
Fortificaton of Martinique by a French
government dominated by Germany would
undoubtedly threaten the security of the
Western Hemisphere Nobody can doubt
that And the Havana declaration pro-
vides that the American nations will take
over administration of any American pos
session of foreign governments II activity
in them does threaten the safety of this
continent.
Martinique is less than a thousand
miles from the Panama canal. 1t is only
a few hundred miles off the coast of
South America. and lies strategically be-
tween the island bases recently acquired
| by the United States from Great Britain.
Furthermore, the French airplane car
rer Bearn is in the harbor there, and
on shore there are 100 American-built
planes purchased by the Allied Purchas
ing Commission in this country before
France collapsed. Great Britain has been
blockading Martinique to keep those
planes and the aircraft carrier from re-
turning to France, and falling into the
hands of the Germans
If Martinique were fortified, Germany
would have a great naval base in the
Western Hemisphere. Anyone inclined to
doubt it should ask himself the question,
"Why has France decided to spend money
fortifying Martinique when she needs the
money so badly at homeland why should
France fortify Martinique at all, unless
it is against the Americas?"
There can be no question of the motive
behind the plan to develop the Martinique
base Nor should there be any question
F that the United States, if the French at
| tempt to put the plan into acion should
seize administration of the island. The
Havana declaration provides for such
seizure. All the facts argue in favor of
| it. But the question remains-would the
| seizure mean war with France, Germany
and Italy?
If it di1 mean war-then war it would
. have to be. Because this is an issue that
strikes home, in our own hemisphere.

This is one of a series of ar
ticles telling the story of your
newspaper. The Post-Press is
presenting these articles in con-
nection with National Newspaper
Week, Oct. is.
I'm your newspaper artist
I draw the cartoons. the sketches
from life, the comic strips, the
daily chuckles, the maps, and the
decorative designs that brighten
up your newspaper.
I'm not Michelangelo. Under my
hand the white Bristol-board grad
ually takes form as the India ink
scratches out of my pen. Is it
art? Well, if art has anything
to do with life, then maybe it is.
The people in my comic strip
are real Maybe they're more real
to you than the people across
the street. They are your daily
companions. as they are mine. If
they don't ring true, they die-and
that's more than can be said for
the people across the street.
So part of my job. the light part
of it, is being court jester to His
Majesty, the American People
There's another. more serious part
