one of the important foundations in the measure of peoples.

2 — I have been, and still am, an enemy of wars. But since we stand before an accomplished fact, woman's duty is like man's — his lies in the bodily struggle, and hers in the spiritual struggle, which rests on instilling the spirit of ardor into the breasts of the fighters, volunteering in the service of the Red Cross, and

striving to collect relief funds to lighten the weight of misery and wretchedness upon the oppressed peoples.

1 — I believe that the corruption of the internal situation in Lebanon is bound up with external factors and inherited dis-eases. This doubleness in

the malady requires a doubleness in the cure. And I fear that this will take so long that Lebanon — in this field — will bring up the rear of the Arab peoples, despite its lead over them in civilization and culture.

As for woman, the signal service she can render is to give birth to the new Lebanon. For in the present situation the cure avails less than replacement.

2 — Most of the Bloudan resolutions are still secret. We may speak of what has been announced of them. Among the most important of what was announced: the economic boycott of the states that back Zionism; the supplying of the Arabs of Palestine with money, men, and arms; the entry of our armies into the war of rescue.

Woman's effective duty in the face of these resolutions is plain.

The boycott requires that woman renounce her luxuries, and consider herself and her family the mainstay of this boycott.

Supplying the defense with money and arms requires of her a strict economic law which she lays down for herself, applies in her home, and preaches abroad.

And the entry of our armies into the war of rescue requires her to be a rear front for first aid, supply, shelter, and the adopting of every man who will plunge into this war.

The Zionist woman has done more than this to accom-plish the aggression. Let her do this much to repel it.
