Spaniards Look
Toward Americas

m The Mexican government has
led all American nations in its eff
forts to provide transportation and
sanctuary for the exiled Spanish
and to date has brought over T.,
Mexico some thirty-fiye thousand
from camps in France.
The u. S. Committee for the
~are of European Children is max
ing constant efforts to bring some
of the orphaned camp children TO
this acountr; permanently. So far
the number is pitifully few. owing
to meager shipping possibilities.
Without diary products or fats
and oils for cooking, Therese Bon
ney points out. the nutritious val
us of vegetables, available is very
low. Rutabaga. ocrusalem arti-
chokes, and the most common
green's are far from adequate fare
when there are no fats or proteins
to supplement them.
The spirit the civilian population
which dares keep up resistance TO
their opporessors even when the
masses are keeling over from star
vation. made deep impression on
ThereSe Bonney.

Outside of the camp she ex-

that someone will get hold of an
