attached to the enrolment, the only
condition being filial confidence in

1t may seem surprising that
Palestine has enough industry to
require rulings on labor disputes.
There isn't much heavy industry,
1t is true, for the country has al
most no natural resources. But there
are three stable concerns: the
Palestine Potash Corp, which ex-
plant OH the River Jordan; the
Palestine Potash Corp, which ex-
tracts salts and minerals from the
Dead Sea, and Consolidated Re-
finerles, Ltd, which operates a pipe
line from the Iraq oil fields to the
port of Haifa.
Palestine also has a booming ar
tificial-tooth industry, and some OF
its custom-built molars find their
way into American dentures. In Tel
Aviv, PaleStine's newest and biggest
city, there Is a diamond cutting
center set up by artisans who fed

In addition there are many small

FIGHTS INITIATION
The fact that Haifas port will
accommodate a ship Of 5000 tons
may prove Of strategic importance
before the war Is over. But thus far
Palestine, like the United States,
has known the restrictions and
scarcities OF war without witnessing
any fighting. And like us, her con-
trols are an effort to clamp down
on potential imitation. With their
country full Of free-spending SOL

money than thely ever saw before.

prayers and sacrifices Of the faith
full be united with all the SufferingS
affecting the world in these sad
times, and that they be offered up
