and president of the Zionist Or-
ganization of America, told din-
ers at the Astor Hotel that Jews
in Palestine "have built an is-

troduced health, labor and liv-
ing standards that are benefiting
Arab, Christian and Jew, he
said.

France Bars 200 JeWish
Children from Emigrating
PARIS (WNS) — 200 Jewish
children who were scheduled to
leave for Palestine last week were
prevented from making the trip
when the French Government re-
fused to grant them visas.
The refusal was based on the
contention that the children's
parents, who had been deported
by the Germans from France to
unknown destinations, might still
return to France.
French authorities stated that
the government is contemplating
the establishment of a special in-
stitution for the education of
all children whose parents were
deported from the country dur-
ing the German occupation.

was only moderately successful.
Most Arab stores remained clos-
ed and transportation was cur-
tailed.
