Fate's Ironic Jokes
Occasionally we hear the comment that
anti-Semites ought to be the best Zionists
because Zionism makes it possible for the
various countries to be rid of their Jews.
The German Nazis are today utilizing en-
dorsements for Palestine as a means of
propagating their program. Fate plans
ironic jokes on the Jewish national move-
ment.
But it is not the enemy alone who util-
izes Palestine for his purpose. A curious
incident is related about one of Marshall
Pilsudski's last acts. It is reported that
before he died he asked the Palestine im-
migration office in Warsaw to grant a visa
to the Homeland to .Zalmon Freilach, a
Jewish engineer who was one of the earli-
est volunteers in Marshal Pilsudski's le-
gion during the war and who refused to
take oath of allegiance to Germany during
its occupation of Poland. For the latter
sin he spent several years in a German
concentration camp. In 1926 he was at
the head of a company which marched in
Pilsudski's May Revolution. He had also
distinguished himself as a peace-time hero
by saving the lives of several children in
a Ere at Siedletz and won numerous other
d'Oinctions and medals.
This hero, compelled to leave Poland
and to search a home in happier surround-
Inge, tragically enough had to take re-
ward from his mother country in.the form
of permission to settle elsewhere. Nothing
rluld possibly demonstrate more brutally
th e positirn of the Jews in oppressive
. Poland,
no other national minority of the great Polish
Republic was so overjoyed to see Poland once
more free and independent.
The resolutions adopted by the Asbury
Park convention included the following
indictment of the Polish hooligans who
are responsible for a new wave of po-
groms:
Be it resolved, that the Federation of Po-
lish Jews in America, assembled in its 27th
annual convention, express our most indignant
protest against the NARA hooligans who shed
innocent Jewish blood and exposed the name
of Poland to shame and infamy, and that we
demand that the Polish government, which
keeps insisting that it rules the country with
fairness and justice to all, take drastic steps
at once to put down the bloody riots at pres-
ent and to nip them in the bud should they
start at any future time. We demand that
drastic action be taken because we know that
the Polish government is strong and powerful
enough to punish those guilty of such excesses
eo severely that they would never again dare
indulge in their dastardly activities.
While resolutions protesting against
massacres and hooliganism must be ad-
dressed to the Polish government in the
h ope of forcing an end to persecutions,
they will not save the Jews of Poland.
The rescue work must be carried on by the
J ewish people. It is our own internal
responsibility and we dare not fail in it.
The Jews of Poland must be saved!
Rescue work should be begun at once!
Very few cities in the world, including
our own, can possibly hope to secure loans
in European countries. But the all-Jewish
city of Tel Aviv has been granted a loan
of $5,000,000 by London banks. Another
indication of the strength of little Pales-
tine.
