Shabibi, PreSi- oc--ator warner.
dent of the Chamber of Deputies
had protested in a message against
the resolution. which urges free
entry of Jews into Palestine. They
expressed fear that the resolution,
sponsored by Senators Wagner and
Taft, Republican, Of Ohio, would
lead to disorder and bloodshed In a
land where Arabs are numerically
predominant.
Senator Wagner replied he was
surprised at their objections and
told them, in part:
II am confident that in due course
the Congress will act favorably upon
my resolution and that such action
will be applauded by all freedom
loving people. -
Such an expression on our part
is especially timely in view of the
horrible events of which the Jewish
people has been the victim. It Is no
more than just recognition OF the
great service rendered the war effort
Of the United Nations by the Jewish
community Of Palestine. Surely your
country, which has joined the ranks
of the United Nations, will not wish
to deny the worth of this service"
Under a statement Of policy con-
tanned in a British white paper of
1889, Jewish immigration into Pales-
tine is to cease at the end Of March
unless the Arabs Of Palestine &C.
Quiesce in its continuation.

ROOSEVELT, THE MAN
Noel F. Busch undertakes a
large and thankless task in
What Manner of Man." (Har-
pers: So. He attempts to pre-
sent a dispassionate picture of
Franklin d. Roosevelt. But he
does an admirable job. Wheth-
er one likes Roosevelt or not,
Busch has given a picture that
is convincing. He sticks to facts
and leaves politics outside.
Starting with childhood,
schooling and college, he pre-
sents the Presidents background
He discusses his political ca
York state senator to the third
presidential term. He draws
partial conclusion:
."That Roosevelt is an enigma
seems to be a fairly well-found-
ed impression; although it GER
tainly contradicts the assump-
ton of the present author, who
announced few pages back that
human character as a whole, not
Roosevelt's only, is entirely sim
pie and as easy to solve as the
problem of two times two. So
far, however, this author, in his
efforts to solve the problem, It's
used up 167 pages. In the
course Of these pages he has
called the President seal, a
whippersnapper, David, st.
George, the captain of what
seems to be no more than that
ancient tug, the Ship of State,
an oral personality, a shark, an
Arabian emir, and a good many
other things. He has used adj
jectives from devious to cour-
ageous, and he has had the
President doing everything
from exhibiting myopia to firing
metaphysical pellets through
an electrical device"

Nurse
BY MARY BEARD
Director Nursing Service,
American Red Cross
Written for NEA Service

1t is likely that the demands
of the military forces for cotton
and gauze for dressings will re-
suit in a scarcity of these ma
terialS for civilian use. 1t may
not be possible TO go 10 the
store and buy sterile gauze and
absorbent cotton in unlimited
quantities for use in the sick
room.
From time immemorial, wo-
men have saved old linen and
soft cotton rags TO use in case
of illness. Many modern Wis
iting nurse organizations ask
the homemakers Of the COM
munity 10 save clean rags for
them to use for dressings in
homes where the expense of
cotton and gauze is prohibitive.
The response is usually gener-
Gus.
If you have need for these
materials in the care of the sick
in your home, / suggest that you
pass the word along among your
friends and neighbors or the wo-
mems organizations of your
church. Your heart will surely
be warmed by the eagerness of
people to be helpful to you.
When old material is to be
used for dressing on wounds or
for maternity cases, it must be
freshly washed and sterilized.
A satisfactory method of steril-
ization is to iron the dressing,
just before use, with very hot
iron. Then apply the freshly
ironed surface, without touching
it with the fingers, to the wound.
Another method of steriliza-
ton is to cut and fold the dress
ings to the desired size, wrap
them in a square of cloth in
packages of six, and bake them
in a moderately hot oven for an
hour. Be careful not to burn the
outer wrapping or it will break
and expose the dressing.
