Fate Up to United Nations

the Future of the Country Will Not Be Decided
.
by Britain, Alone After War
JERUSALEM (JTA) = President. Roosevelt is reported
to have informed the Arabs of Palestine that the future of
the country will be determined not by Britain alone,. but by
the governments responsible:for the establishment of a • new
postwar world order based on peace and justice, The Presi-
dent allegedly said that the :status of Palestine will be de-
cided after consultations with
Jews and Arabs.
The statement is said to em-
phasize that the British govern- .
merit, although -holding the man-
date for Palestine, cannot make
any changes in the status of the_
country before a suitable time
when the governments responsi-
ble for the establishment of a
long-lasting peace will decide, in
consultations with Jews • and
Arabs, on the future of Palestine.
The statement by President
Roosevelt, it was reported, came
in reply to an appeal cabled to
him last month by the Palestine
Arab Party. The reply was un-;
derstood to have been handed to
the leaders of the party , by
Lowell C. Pinkerton, U. C. Con-
sul General in Jerusalem.

partment could confirm or deny.

velt had sent such a message.

TF ..what you did for the war effort today was an
1. easy thing to do, it isn't 'enough. We can not
hope to give as much as the boy who . gives his life
bid we can do our utmost!
-
For instance, if you haven't —yet found yourself
scheming and figuring on a way to buy extra War
Bonds, it's a good sign. you aren't buying enough!
When your neighbor calls on you during the 5th
War loan to ask if you'll increase your purchases,
say "Yes". even if it takes a lot of•scbenting and
figuring afterward to pay for them.
That's the way our men are doing. their p
- art
in. the PaCific, in Italy, in England. Ordered to ,at-
tack, they do not first consult themselves to. deter-
mine whether it's safe or convenient or comfortable.
They're thinking of you at home. To protect you,
they attack first .., and figure out how to do it as
they go.
Uncle Sam needs your dollars to finance -this war,
and he needs them now! Not just the dollars you
can stare but every dollar you can earn that you
don't absolutely need for food, shelter, clothing and
the operation of the farm:
War Bonds savings mean more to the average
'farther or rancher than to almost anyone else. For
. they form 'a financial reserve indispensable for the
profitable and efficient operation of his business.
War Bonds are safe, they pay a good return, they're
easy to buy. When they mature, they mean new
machinery and equipinent, new conveniences for
the house, money for the children's schooling, funds
for retirement..
The next time you pick up your paper or listen
to the radio news, have a ;conference with yourself.
"Am I doing as much as I can to help win this war?
Am I matching what I can do with what the boys
are doing over there? Am I investing every pos-
sible dollar in War Bonds today to make my future-
and my family's future more secure?"
Most of is haven't yet began to do . our best
Uncle Sam needs it now! BUY ‘koliE THAN BE-
FORE in the 5th War Loan !
