bers from the intelligentsia and dip

to the poetess. She did not receive
with the Ambassador and Sonora de
Mora but held court in her special

waiting to have a word with her in
French, Italian or Spanish, and, of
course, her autograph was much in
demand. The rooms of the hand

damask walls and emerald green

vases of tall red roses for the occa-
sion. The buffet centerpiece of yell

How hunger and need can result
In human decentralization whose evil
effects might well become world
widespread, was the message stressed
in an impressive talk by Signora
Tarchiani, wife Of the Italian Am
bassador, before the Washington
Club yesterday.
In a dramatic recital of personal
experiences when with her husband
and children she fed Fascist DOM
mated Italy in the late 20s rather
than sacrifice personal liberty, and
of later years as refugee in Nazi-
occupied France, Signora Tarchiani
declared that only those who have
known hunger can really under
stand it's devastating effects.
With her young twin daughters,
Signora Tarchiani remained in
Paris throughout the entire Nazi
occupation, unable to accompany
her husband when he escaped to the
United States following the fall of
France.
AS early as October, 1910, "there
was not enough to eat" the speaker
said, adding, 1.-THE Germans took
everything they could find"
Signora Tarchiani described her
difficulty in regaining strength fol-
lowing a severe illness due to lack
Of food" how finally a few jars of
marmarlade overlooked by the Nazis
in a small dark shop" were pur-
chased at great expense and proved
helpful in bringing back her health.
AT one time, for a period of three
weeks, we had nothing to eat but
one potato day." she recalled.
Every morning, my little girls be-
fore going to school would ask, is
there anything in the house to eat?'
All could answer was .no-drink
some water"
Having suffered from lack of food
and having seen her daughters
hungry and their classmates develop
tuberculosis from undernourishment
the Italian Ambassador wife shares
a more than ordinary sympathy Tor
the hungry people of Europe. She
told of recent reports from Naples
where small boys in bands of 20 OF
so go around like dogs looking ir
garbage pals for food" She re-
counted other reports of stealing
and robberies perpetrated by some
Of these hungry boys Of Italy.
why do they steal?" she asked
you hear the same stories from
France, Greece and other countries.
It's misery. These poor little aban-
doned things don't know what Is
bad and what is good. When you are
weak and hungry you don't think
Of anything except Of something for
your stomach"
Signora Tarchiani warned that
such conditions are dangerous for
the rest of the world.
"It' Is very bad to have Europe in
such a bad condition" she asserted.

that difference In the case Of

Pioneer w omen
Told Of Je1Visb
Work I'm Palestine

Strong arguments why the Jews
should be permitted to establish a
homeland in Palestine were ad-
vanced by Miss Marie Syrkin, poet
ess, translator and writer, in an
address before the Pioneer Women's
Organization for Palestine yester-
day.
Guest speaker at the groups an
nual donor luncheon at the May
flower Hotel, Miss Syrkin described
conditions as she observed them In
Palestine where she spent five
months recently gathering material
for book. returning but three
weeks ago to her home in New York
Coming from the metropolitan
city especially to attend the lunch
con, the slender, serious-faced young
authoress told how Jewish refugee
youth of Palestine have overcome
unbelievable obstacles and suffered
innumerable hardships to create
homes out of arid, neglected areas
of the Holy Land.
Overriding objections of Arab OPP
ponents to Jewish settlements In
Palestine, the speaker said that the
Jews had taken nothing from the
Arabs but had merely reclaimed
lands considered too barren or un-
healthy for human habitation in
former years.
II have seen Jewish youth labor
ing on the shores Of the Dead Sea- y
she explained, where it has been
said no life could live. I have seen
a rose garden grow in this soil which
has been patiently washed by young
Jewish boys and girls, and have also
seen an orange grove in bloom. When
people are willing to take some
thing that was never of any use
before and make it a place where
people can live, do not see why
there should be complaints"
The speaker declared that since
the Jewish development of Pales-
tine. the Arab population has in
creased from 600, 900 to over LOCO, ,OOC
and that the Arabs living in Pales-
tine have much higher standards OF
living than the Arabs in any other
lands.
Recalling the promise to the Jews
In the Balfour declaration following
the World War, Miss Syrkin said
"the Jews are only asking per
cent of the lands occupied by the
Arabs. They are asking the lands
which the Arabs have not used
Nothing is being taken from the
Arabs. Surely, the Jewish need TO,
a homeland for the poor refugees
from Europe, where 100000 Jews
lost their lives merely because they
were Jews, should outweigh the
Arab arguments against Jewish ma
tionalization of Palestine"
The program opened with the
singing of ''The Star Spangled Ban
ner" and the invocation offered by
Edith StrichchartZ. A summary o1

UNO Official
And Fan,1iIv
Visit Here
By A mn Cline

The three daughters Of the secre-
tary general Of the UNO and Mrs.
Trygve Lie high lighted their brief
visit in the Nations Capital with
a tea this afternoon at the White
House. Aside from this party, at
which Miss Margaret Truman was
hostess, the social engagements OF
Sissel, Curl and Mette have been
limited because of lack of time
About the only other things they've
done are little sightseeing-taking
in the Capitol, Monument, Lincoln
and Jefferson Memorials-and a
small amount of shopping. They
will accompany their parents to New
York tomorrow.
When asked at press conference
yesterday at the Mayflower Hotel
what they wanted most, the un-
animous reply from the mother and
three daughters was, "Stockings!' p
Even though Norway has nothing
in the way of clothing, except some
cotton dresses, and England's
clothes all require coupons, their
main interest still was In leg wear.
The family just recently arrived
in this country from London
where the oldest daughter, Sissel
was married two weeks ago to Mr.
Jens Halvard Bratz. She and her
husband plan to return to Norway
as soon as they can book passage
on ship. to make their home. They
will have to live with relatives until
able to get living quarters of their
own. The housing problem is just
as acute there as in Washington
and, according to Sissel, you have
10 have been married several years
and have at least two children be-
fore you can get a house"
Mr.. and Mrs. Lie were prominent
in diplomatic circles in London
where he served as Norwegian Min
lister of Foreign Affairs during the
war. Their two older daughters,
both of whom served in the Nor
wegian Women's Auxiliary Corps
were with their parents, but the
youngest child, Mette, lived with
relatives in Grorud, Norway. She
got out Of Norway through the
underground and joined her family
in October, 1914. .
The Lies also were very active
socially in Oslo. They love to en-
tertain and be around people. But
Mrs. Lies chief interest is her hus-
band and his interests. She used to
join him when he went shooting,
and when younger, played a. lot of
tennis. And, of course, she likes
skiing.
This fall Mette wants to 60 to
boarding school somewhere in New
York, and Curl hasn't decided
what she is going to do. They all
think they are going to like the
United States very much. though.
