Washington Topics
Gov. Lehman, who has been
appointed by President Roosevelt
to the important post of Director
of Foreign Relief and Rehabilita-
tion, is being flooded with appli-
cations from job-seekers in every
part of the United States . . .
By the time this is published he
will already be at his desk in
Washington attending to his new
duties . .. The Governments-in-
Exile are no less elated over Gov.
Lehman's appointment than are
the Jews . . . Lehman's deep
sympathy with the problems of
the oppressed minorities every-
where are well-known, as well as
the interest he has taken in phil-
anthropic and relief work since
World War I . . . The speed and
generosity with which the United
States intends to delives relief to
nations liberated from the Nazis
will very soon carry Gov. Leh-
man to distant quarters of the
globe in connection with his ad-
ministrative duties . .. In Wash-
ington, Gov. Lehman's new job
is considered a "tough assign-
ment," since it is unquestionably
one of the most exasperatingly
difficult as well as one of the
most important in the entire pro-
gram of the United Nations . . .
No one in Washington, however,
doubts that Mr. Lehman is the
best man to carry out such a
difficult mission which may last
for perhaps a quarter of a cen-
tury . . . Ten years of his liberal
and successful administration of
the most populous state in Amer-
ica have proven that he unites
the practical experience of a
sound administrator with the vi-
sion of a proved statesman.

Double Bookkeeping
Nuri Said Pasha, Prime Min-
ister of Iraq, who this week
congratulated the State Depart-
ment on the American victory in
North Africa, is still stubbornly
ignoring the official appeal from
the State Department to permit
the passage through his country
of 500 Jewish children from Iran
to Palestine . . . The children,
most of them orphans whose par-
ents were killed by the Nazis in
Poland, have been stranded for
weeks in Teheran because Iraq
refuses to allow them to cross
en route to Palestine where they
would be admitted, since they
already have Palestine visas . . .
Under-Secretary of State Welles
appealed to the Iraquian Govern-
ment exactly two months ago
asking that it permit the children
to cross Iraq and so did the
British Government, but both re-
ported failure.

ulation. Mr. Weinberg respond-

The reciting of the chapter
"Nahamu" from Isaiah by Anna

You Can't Afford
To Let Up Now!
When you read the newspaper headlines of vic-
tories in Africa, Asia, and in Russia don't sit
back in your chair, sigh, and say: "Well, it's the
beginning of the end." Even though production
may be up, more is needed, more of everything.
If we really have got the war ball rolling now is
the time to push and push until we spin our
enemies back on their heels and smother them
by the force of our rush.
You can't do that unless you are in top condition.
You can't slip up on your regular sleep s you
can't neglect that cold that hangs on, you can't
be careless of your health, and still do your part
in winning the war.

We can't repeat this too often: go to your doctor
at the first sign of illness. Prompt medical care
has saved many lives or at least saved many
from days of discomfort and loss of work. Early
medication is cheaper medication because less
medicine is used.
