and military position in the city
will be safeguarded."

to comment on a report that Arabs
in Palestine would not allow Jewish

shadowing twinge of conscience.
What is the papers weekly
contribution, as far as I'm con-
cerned? Well, it tells me a lot
about a great number Of people,
most of whom I do not know at
all, a few Of whom 1 feel that I
know pretty well, but all of whom
consider friends in q very real
sense.
/ rejoice at each account Of
personal recognition or record of
achievement, and feel a warm
glow of satisfaction as I sense
that the list Is growing longer
and better. Not all is lovely, how
ever. A pang Of regret smites me
when I read accounts Of hurts and
more hurts that are being inflict-
ed upon some of you by members
Of my race. Again, stand on the
sidehnes and silently my heart
cries cheers and hurrahs as strug-
