|CIark Demands British
Hold Palestine Open
To Jewish Refugees

A demand that Great Britain re.
verse Immediately its plans to close
Palestine to Jewish immigration
was made today by Senator Clark
Democrat, of MISSOURI, who sak
President Roosevelt had made il
clear that there was no bar to such
action.
The Senator quoted Mr.. Roose,
velt's statement at press confer.
ence yesterday that while the pres.
ent military situation imposed &
temporary barrier to immigration
into Palestine, permanent policy
was a civilian matter for the fu.
ture.
Nobody is trying to interfere witt
military operations" said Senatol
Clark. "If I understand the Presi
dents statement correctly, we Sc,
eye to eye"
Gates Still Open to $4,000.
Meanwhile. the Associated
Press reported from London that
the gates of Palestine still would
remain open to $4,000 Jews de-
spite operation of the White Pa
per policy of 1899. 1t was pointed
out that this plan provided for
the entry of $4,000 Jews into Pal
estine by April /, 1914, and that
so far, due to the barriers erected
by the war, only $4,000 had immi-
grated there.
tHence, the dispatch said, the
British government had decided
as long. ago as last November that
immigration might continue be-
yond the date originally set
March 81, 1944. At present, it
was said, there are about 1000 900
Arabs and 100000 Jews in the
small Mediterranean country.)
American military officials have
opposed pending resolution which
would put Congress on record ir
favor of unrestricted Jewish immi-
grafton into Palestine.
Renewed demands were made
in the Senate yesterday for action
on the resolution, now bottled up in
the Foreign Relations Committee.
Reporter Recalls Statement.
At the Presidents news confer
ence, reporter recalled that Rab-
bis Stephen S. Wise and Abba H
Silver said after a recent White
House call that the President had
authorized them to say the Ameri-
can Government never had ap-
proved the British white paper and
that he was happy the doors OF

Help For Small Business

The small business man has had tough sled
ding since the war started, what with dlrec-
tives and priorities and this and that, but his
who had good business ideas and integrity but
could get no capital to back him.
Now with the war getting along fairly well,
even though far from ended, capital is begin
ming to look around for good outlets and its
eve has fastened upon these two groups. One
phase of postwar planning is concerned, and
we are given to understand deeply concerned,
with giving small business and potential bust
ness fair chance.
In Wilmington and its trade area the project
has taken definite form through the calling OF
meeting this evening at the country club,
when some hundred or more bankers and their
associates will work out a program whereby
money will be made available for bolsterlng
+ne financial needs OF businesses which have
hsd difficulty surviving in these war years
and for men who lack cash or credit to go
into business.
Money. naturally, will be loaned only to per-
sons of proved ability and whose standing in
their community is irreproachable -qualifica-
tions which are indispensable in any financial
negotiations. But it is gratifying and exceed
ingly heartening to find that in planning for
the brave new world Of the future the little
fellow is to receive recognition under favorable
circumstances.
1t is particularly gratifying to know that this
gathering tonight follows a movement launched
some time ago here, when group OF business
people decided to subscribe fixed sums for
new business and Industrial enterprises, once
the project was appraised as sound invest
lnent
When this program is in operation 1t will
mark long step ahead from the days when
the little fellows only access to cash was
through loan shark to whom he had to pay
as much as per cent a month or more
for his loan and so pocketed no profit even
if he continued indefinitely in business
Perhaps the economic revolution we have
been hearing so much about will not work
such hardship, after all, If the leaders gen
orally adopt the broad principals involved in
this southeastern North Carolina bankers pro-
ject. The undertaking is among the most con-
structive in this area In many years.

Mileage Conservation

State mileage conservation programs have
been placed on a permanent statutory basis
by the legislatures of four states-Iowa, New
Hampshire, South Dakota and Washington.
OF the four, New Hampshire led all 40
states in the reduction Of passenger car use
by the state last year, cutting its official mo-
tor car use by 81 per cent.
New Hampshire pioneered the nationwide
effort to conserve gasoline, tires and auto
mobiles by reducing official state travel, and
its system became the model for similar pro-
grams in the other At states.
Iowa was the latest state to place its state
mileage conservation program on perma-
nent statutory basis, giving the governor au-
thority to assign all state-owned automobiles
to state car dispatcher.
Authority Of the state ar dispatcher is
broad under the Iowa legislation. He has au-
employees or departments, on full or part
time basis, and he has the right to revoke
such ssignments.
In addition, besides setting up a system of
keeping record of the total and per mile
cost of each motor vehicle, the state car
dispatcher may purchase all new motor cars
for all branches Of the state government the
cost to be paid out of the budgets of the
state offices to which the vehicles are as
signed
The state car dispatcher can authorize the
establishment Of motor pools consisting of the
state-owned cars under his supervision, and
prohibit the use Of cars in the pools unless
a state officer or employe finds it necessary
to make trip outside the state capital on
state business. The dispatcher then assigns
cars for such trips.
Under the Iowa legislation no state officer
OF employe may use any state-owned automo-
bile for his own personal use Those found
guilty of using state-owned motor vehicle
for private business or pleasure are liable to
fine of up to 500 or 30 days in the county
Jail.

tuberculosis Bonds

The Junior Chamber of Commerce mas
launched an intensive campaign for the sale
of tuberculosis bonds this week, as preliminary
to thu general sale of Christmas seals which
will be started next Monday. At the sarie
time the Sixth War loan campaign will be
gaining momentum in the community. Will
nngtonians are urged not to confuse the tive
or assume that they have done their full duty
by subscribing to one alone.
Tuberculosis bonds range from S. to $1,000.
Money invested in them represents a strictly
humanitarian investment. Anyone who buys a
bond has definite part in the saving of lives,
for the revenue thus created is applied to the
steadily improving conquest OF dread disease.

Ammunition Needed

1t is pointed out that the Germans have the
advantage of fighting from fixed positions in
the battle now raging on a. 45O-miles front in
western Europe.
While this is in their favor, it can also be
a handicap in that they do not know where
the Allies will strike next or hardest, and so
may have their principal concentrations at a
distance from the point General Eisenhower
has chosen for chief attack 1t is this inability
of the enemy to know where the next blow is
coming that discounts the value of his fixed
positions
The Germans are on their own soil and ha We
made great preparations to defend it with all
the resources of men and material they pos
sess, but if they cannot get men and equip
nlent where needed most in sufficient numbers
and quantities at the essential time the natural
and sentimental advantages they possess are
no longer an asset.

about the German defeat on the Western front

ability to outfox the enemy in the final drive

Living Costs

instead OF rising A per cent during these
war years, as claimed by labor, the cost of
living has advanced a mere 20 or at most
30 per cent, according to the committee named
by President Roosevelt, which has made its
investigations and turned in its report.
Far be it from us to question either claim
or the investigations of either party. Living
costs have mounted but not in the aggregate
to % sc or A per cent. They have skyrocketed
in many cases. more than 100 per cent es.
