ed = they were all there-save
one. Some child had not return
ed his image.
All the children were question
ed. All definitely said that they
had returned their images. Fin
ally, for some reason, suspicion
narrowed down to little Pierre.
Pierre was sent to the head of
the school and questioned. No,
he said, he had returned his
image. He was sent before a
board of the school and continued
to be adamant in asserting that
he had returned his image.
Every kind of influence was
brought to bear on Pierre to
make him admit what the author
tiles of the monastery believed to
be the truth. Soft speaking nuns
sought to sNeetly ease it out of
him, harsher speaking ones
sought to brighten an admission
out of him.
Finally, Pierre was put in a
kind of temporary juvenile "soli-
tary" until he confessed. Then
after much weeping, Pierre told
where the image of Jesus they
sought was to be found.
why did you steal it," they
asked.
81 didn't steal it," sobbed
Pierre. "You told me that Jes-
us was a Jew, so I was afraid
the Gestapo would get him, so l
hid him."
This is the true story brought
back from France. I think it
speaks for itself.

LITTLE CHILDREN
By David Schwart (JTA)

tllG 1dSC O0CdUS. nCCG11L1y3 d
member of the staff of the Ha-
dassah Hospital in Jerusalem Wis
iting the United States declared
that the majority of the Jewish
children who have been brought
to Palestine in the last few years
are mental cases. You can't eX-
pect a child to go through the
terrors which the Jewish children
of Europe have experienced,
the bombardment, concentration
camps and brutalities of all des-
cription = and still keep entire
iy sane.
And yet I would say that their
insanity in its way is a kind of
excess of sanity. Suffering had
made them overly sharp and
perceptive.
Take the case of which I am
about to tell you. It is not fic-
ton - it is true, authentic hap
pening = even though it is
stranger than fiction. It was told
to me by a person who recently
returned from France who vouch-
es for its absolute truthfulness.
We will call this little French
Jewish boy, of whom 1 am about
to tell, Pierre. I just call him
that, I say. I didn't know his
name. / know his age however.
He is seven years old now-but
the incident of which I am tell
ing, happened more than year
ago.
Pierre was one of the fortunate
little Jewish boys. Many little
Jewish children were machine
gunned, and buried alive or gas
: Sed in the slaughter chambers of
the NaziS - but Pierre was
fortunate. He was one of those
French Jewish children who were
befriended by French Christians.
And you have read in the papers,
a considerable number of these
French Jewish children found
shelter in monaSteries. Pierre
was among those fortunate ones.
In the monastery, they were
very good to Pierre as they were
to all the children in their care.
Pierre was well fed, given school,
ing and no effort was made to
turn him from the faith of his
parents. At least, not directly so.
The people in the monastery are
understanding. They would not
take advantage Of the tragedy of
;. the Jew to separate the child
from its parents. Yet being de-
voutly religious themselves, they
could not see a child grow up
without some form of spiritual
training. They thought it would
be no violation of their trust, if
they took Pierre into the chill
dren's religious classes. They
would not ask him to become a
Catholic. He could just attend
with the other children - no
special effort to effect him own
religious view point would be
made.
You can understand what these
kindergarten religious classes are
like. They sing songs, they play
mostly = but the tools, the
themes - have religious as
pect. And Pierre seemed to en-
joy being with the children.
Well, one day the teachers in
the monastery distributed some
little images of Jesus among the
children. They were to be held
for a while and then returned
to the teacher of the class. They
were to be held by the children
for a week, during which the
teacher would tell them about
Jesus, and otter these talks were

MeXicOS Forestry Law

In attesting this fact, Mr. H.
Arthur Meyer of the U. S. Foreign
Economic A Administration has
written
The new Mexican forest iasO
uUiH proue an effective instrument in
safeguarding the Uitol forest re-
sources of the country"
The stated purpose of this law is
ito regulate, protect and promote
the conservation, restoration and
utilization of forests and forest
products"
TT ESTABLISHES standards of
forest cutting practice which
prevent the denuding of timberlands,
through provisions for the leaving
of sufficient healthy young trees to
assure continuous new growth and
productivity.
1t provides for the reforestation
and restocking of such denuded areas
as unsound forest cutting practice
has already created, or as fires may
create in the future.
Mexico has indeed given good
example and leadership to other ma.
tions in this vital matter, including
her closest neighbor and best friend,
the United States
There are other nations from
which the United States, so long
profligate with forest wealth, may
take good example in the fields of
forest conservation and rehabilita-
ton.
Venezuela and Chile have taken
advanced positions in these legiS-
lative fields.
Great Britain, which has danger.
ously depleted her always sparse
forests in two great wars within the
last quarter century, has made pro-
vision for new postwar forestry
programmes one of her most essential
national enterprises.
The United States should no
longer be content and can no longer
afford to lag behind her neighbors
and associates in the family of na-
tions, in protecting her forests and
assuring their perpetual contribu-
tions to the health and luealth OF the
American peoDfe.

THE manner in which certain of
the American lumber producing
states have Jagged behind others in
progressive forest conservation and
reforestation legislation has a coun-
terpart in the international phases
of the problem.
Forestry legislation in the United
States as a uDhoie has Jagged behind
the effective measures taken by
many other countries for the pres.
eruation and rehabilitation of tim.
berlands.
One of these enterprising nations
In this respect is our resourceful and
progressive neighbor, Mexico.
Mexico is a land of inestimable
natural resources, and one of the
greatest of her fabulous sources Of
wealth is her forests.
The estimated volume of stand
ing timber in Mexico is in excess of
ONE HUNDRED BILLION CUBIC
FEET.
A ND Mexico is in the advantageous
and enviable position of having
cut less timber in the last thirty
years than the requirements through
new growth.
There are abundant tropical hard
wood forests in the lower ranges of
altitude in Mexico-mahogany,
chicle, cedar, walnut, red gum.
There are equally abundant tenn
perate hardwood forests in the mid
die altitude ranges of Mexico-oak,
alder, ash, laurel, sycamore.
In the higher attitudes there are
great coniferouS forests-pine, fir,
juniper, cypress.
Thus, it is veritable treasure
trove of forest wealth which Mexico
has at her disposal, and as her re-
sponsibility.
Accordingly, 1t is of immense
significance that for nearly twenty
years Mexico has had forestry con-
troll laws recognized as being COM
prehensive and adequate, and since
l943 has had broadened and i'm
proved forestry program widely re.
garded as an example and MODEL
to other countries similarly endowed
by nature but more profligate with
their natural assets. Is.
