THE ARAB REFUGEES
Sta,—Though the United Nations have now shown their awareness of the terrible plight of the Palestine Arab refugees, and have voted a considerable sum for their- succour, owing to the complexity of the United Nations administrative machine it is inevitable that it will be some time before this aid becomes truly effective. In the meantime, these refugees—men, women and children—are dying daily through exposure, starvation and disease. There are still tens of thousands of them huddling in the open amongst the rocks, without evtn a tent to shelter them from the bitter cold which prevails in winter in the mountains of Palestine and Trans-Jordan. We beg the help of readers now. A shilling given now is worth more than a pound in the spring. A shilling will keep a baby alive for a week—ten shillings a whole family. Please send your contributions to the Anglo-Arab Relief Fund, 27 Eaton Place, S.W.1.—Yours faithfully, J. B. GLUBB, MARY SPEARS, H. C. SINDERSON.
