Arabs Seek Political New Deal g Sl cm- in let Wr' ~*B®n T \' N i /:? I:■ I ' W' ■ 1 VM h 1 I1• v ‘ L l*s± * Land of the Arab Typical Bedouin

I By HARLAND MACKEY International Illuatrated Newa Writer JERUSALEM, Palestine—Reports of rioting and disorder which have gone to the outside world from this ancient and historic land carry little suggestion of the significant evolution which is under way. * Back of the sporadic outbreaks and clashes between Arabs. British troops and Jewish residents is a fiercely burning desire on the part of the Arabs to win for themselves independence and ruling power. This nationalistic spirit is backed by a heritage which extends back through the centuries to the time when Arab culture and civilization was the dominating force on earth. The taste of freedom and autonomy which has been theirs since they were freed from Turkish domination after the World war—a domination which extended for more than 400 years—has stirred in the patriotic Arab an intense ambition to restore to its former prestige his race and religion. Many Factors Involved . But there are so many complicating factors in the situation that the ultimate fate of the Arab move for political independence is shrouded in uncertainty. Linked j with the nationalistic movement in ’ the territority peopled mainly by Arabs is the struggle of Egypt for antomony and the campaign in India for greater political independence. The territory which the patriotic Arab fervently wishes might be incorporated into a new nation, governed by himself and his brothers, includes a vast stretch nearly half as large as United States, yet its total population is less than 12,000,000. • Most of this territory is ruled by British mandate, France having mandate over Syria and Lebanon. Saudi Arabia enjoys complete in-

dependence while other sections are under the rule of petty chifetalns, sheiks and sultans. One factor which blocks the Arab’s progress toward political independence and a united Arabia is the military and economic importance of several sections, principally Palestine. This strip of land along the mouth of the Suez canal is one of the most important links in the "life line of the British empire.” Foreign Investors Worried Another problem,,which must be solved before Arabia can expect to free itself of thq imperialistic guardianship of Britain and France involves the heavy foreign investments in the territory. The fabulously rich oil fields rank as one of ths most coveted prizes in the world. Then, too, there must be some provision made to safeguard and keep open the network of trade routes which cross and criss-cross the territory. Arabia stands at the crossroads between the east and west, and international complications raise their heads when mention is made of establishing a free and independent Arab state. There Is every imaginable kind of desert in this unusual land. And I corresponding to the variety of ' climate is the variety of person who inhabits the different sections An almost insurmountable task confronts those who dream of a united Arabia in bringing together the wild nomadic tribes, the legion of religious sects anil the scores of petty rulers who are jealous of their powers. • These, then, are some of the problems which Great Britain and France face in trying to effect a settlement of the disorder which has been common of late. One thing seems certain, that the spirit of nationalism which has been aroused will not be downed without a struggle, however.

Another is to eet them in a tray of moss or other absorbent material, which will keep the soil damp, and to which we can add water. Do not keep plants in a window where they will get sun throughout the day. It is almost impossible for them to withstand such a continuous onslaught of heat, and their foliage will burn up under it.

| ment in the parts which need it. I There are not so many house plants in August as there will be i next month, but those available II are particularly hardy and can be j depended upon to survive almost any type of weather. ' The lovely philodendrons are still with us. A I fine way to display them is on an ornamental wire stand on the iporch. Two or three plants can be suspended on such a stand, and < the outdoor air will provide them with a healthful surrounding, as [ well as making the porch more livable. You can bring them indoors when the weather becomes cooler. The oaladium, with its fancy leaves in many colors, is a fine foliage plant now. So is the gloxinia, with its hairy lea,ves. Scores of types of cactus can be had. ' many of which will bloom for a short time, although they are alI ways attractive. One or more of the many well-loved begonias I I should be at hajtd; they have attractive foliage when not in bloom '(and keep for months. Sedums, i echeverias and others should mako your indoor garden as colorful now as almost an}' other time. o Two Fort M ayne Men Drowned Monday Night — Fort Wayne. Ind., Aug. 18 —(U.R) .; —Herbert L.
