Without one life is dull. May

came also a general economic de- f,
flation. The tap of Fascists spend
ing on the glorification of the
Italian Empire was turned off; in
creasingly fewer troops passed
through as the war moved to Eur
ope and into peace. While the
world COPIED with initiation and too
much spending, the Jews and the
Arabs and the Italians were faced
by depression and loss of trade.
And at the crucial moment came
the long drought now extending
into it's second year to hit the
Jews and Arabs quite impartially.

the Jewish Community stands be-

Jews, In Tripoli city alone about
ten thousand Jews all ages are in
receipt of one form of relief or
another; over three thousand of
these are penniless and without
any other income; their relief pay
is about four pence (eight cents)
per day per family. In January
of this year another 1000 Jews =
adult and children = were in re-
ceipt of temporary relief. This
category stiI1 includes many of
the victims of the 1915 riots who
have so far received virtually no
compensation for the losses they
suffered as a consequence of the
mass looting of shops and houses.
Furthermore in addition to this
general assistance, special help
is given to Jewish school children.
Out of four thousand Jewish pup
ills, half are classed as very poor
and five hundred as poor. These
are given one loaf of bread a
day and helped with clothing,
books, baths and other essentials.

An interesting-and probably
unique-feature of this commun-

the money is not paid to the
father as head of the community,
but to the mother. It is thought
that there is thus less danger of
the money being frittered away
on inessentials.
