Britain and Palestine

"The British plan will be callous prep-
aration for a period of murder and oppres-
sion, perhaps without parallel in recent
memory," is the editorial comment of the
New York Post on the new Palestine pro-
posals.
We believe this to be an exaggerated
opinion, in view of overwhelming proof
that the vast majority of the Arabs in Pal-
estine are opposed to terrorism and are in
favor of cooperation with Jews. The mere
fact that the neighboring Arab villagers
joined in a Chamisho Osor b'Shvat cele-
bration with the Jewish pioneers in Hanita
and that a mukhtar of the villages wel-
comed the Jewish colonists home with the
statement that Joshua ben Nun had won
Palestine for the Jews for all time, is of
sufficient signficance to show that there
will not be mass murder; that the Arabs
are longing for a return of prosperity and
peace to the land they share with the
Jews, and that they are tiring of destruc-
tion at the hands of vandals and murder-
ers who are inspired by the Grand Mufti's
followers.
But the New York Post makes an im-
portant point when it deplores the fact
that "the nations of the world have al-
lowed a situation to arise in which half a
million human beings have gambled their
lives and possessions on a specific pledge.
To maintain the status quo is the least
civilization can do."
In reality it is much more than this. It
is a question of giving a home for home-
less people, of honoring an historic affilia-
tion of Jews with their cradleland, of giv-
ing Jews a chance to live peacefully, to
create without hindrance, to live a normal
life.
Regardless of the restrictions imposed
upon Jews in Palestine, Great Britain must
realize that her pledge will not be treated
like a scrap of paper; that Jews will not
yield to terrorism; that the Jewish people
will defy Britain if she should insist upon
creating another ghetto for Jews, this time
in Palestine. Dr. Stephen S. Wise has
stated upon his return from the London
conference that "the fight is not over and
I know that eventually we will win." It is
in this spirit that the Jews in Palestine
are carrying on, and it is in this spirit that
they must be given the encouragement of
their kinsmen throughout the world.

Underground Germany

During the past few weeks, especially
since the new awakening that has come
to the German people from the mirage of
Munich and the pogroms of November,
there are increasing indications that the
underground movement in opposition to
Nazism within Germany is growing by
leaps and bounds.
One does not have to read the literature
published by the democratic f or c es
throughout the world to realize that such
a reaction is growing. Factual literature,
newspaper reports, the frantic efforts of
Nazi chieftains to keep up the spirit of
the German people, all go to prove that
not all is well within Germany.
But perhaps the best proof of existing
resentment is to be found in one of the
most impressive books of our time, Nora
Waln's "Reaching for the Stars" which
has just come off the press of Little,
Brown and Co. of Boston. Although re-
strained, this volume is effective in its
presentation of facts, in its relation of ex-
periences, in its fairness inspired by a
genuine love for German art and culture,
for the German land and people.
Mrs. Waln writes dispassionately, and
her work is a devastating indictment of
the present German regime. Because she
never yields to hatred but consistently, in
true fashion of her Quaker family tradi-
tion, adheres to a viewpoint of pacifism
and love for the German people among
whom she lived for four years, Mrs. Wain
created an epic story which helps reveal
the true state of affairs within Germany,
and from which she passes on her convic-
tion that the Nazi dictatorship can not last
and will not last. Her "Reaching for the
Stars" shows that all is not well in Ger-
many; that there is grumbling and dis-
satisfaction ;- that men and women, in the
privacy of their homes, are beginning to
speak in protest against the outrageous
barbarities practiced by the stormtroopers.
One of the incidents related in this book
deals with the murder of a man who dared
to oppose the Nazis at the March 1933
elections. We read: "On July 16, not quite
six months after Hitler became Vice-
Chancellor, a law was published forbid-
ding all parties except the National Social-
c
let Party. Shortly afterwards this man
went for a walk one evening and did not
return. At Christmas the wife shot their
five-year-old son and herself 'while of un-
sound mind.' She had that morning re-
ceived a package---a cigar box marked
with a swastika and the word 'traitor' be-
. fore her husband's name. It contained
ashes. I was not yet used, to things like
consciousness to find
that, and

vide their own ushers for all public assemblies,
thus barring , ushering by uniformed Nazis. This
is the first step in the right direction. Similar
steps should be taken throughout the country to
make it unlawful for private groups to be armed
and to wear uniforms. Furthermore, it is impera-
tive that legislation be sought to prevent incitation
to riot. Unless such steps are taken promptly,
there will be further incentive for Nazis and
Fascists to create trouble.
American Nazis have already provided proof
that "it can happen here." True Americanism de-
mands that they be stopped NOW.
This raises the additional question of whether
the spreaders of hate are to be penalized, and
what form such penalties should take. In the New
York Legislature there are now pending several
bills which would make the inciting of racial and
religious hatred a misdemeanor punishable by fine
or imprisonment, or both. The New York State
Council of Churches, which represents "federated
Protestantism," has taken a stand against such
legislation through its legislative committee of
four lawyers and six ministers, who hold the pro-
posed bills to be "too broad and dangerous" and
who believe that the measures have been "too
loosely drafted" and "might infringe personal lib-
erty."
This being the case, the responsibility becomes
all the greater for the liberal forces to find a
way out of the dilemma by drafting such legisla-
tion that will retain the spirit of the Bill of Rights
and the Constitution but will prevent capitalizing
upon it by subversive and destructive forces.
The Bill of Rights remains sacred. But it will

courage with which it has unmasked the Royal Oak
bigot. In its January issue this splendid magazine
carried a protest against Coughlin's activities
signed by prominent leaders from all parts of this
country, and a strong editorial denunciation of the
Coughlin campaign of bigotry. The February issue
had a splendid study of Coughlinism by Roy Whar-
ton under the title "Lies Pour Out of Royal Oak."
Coughlin is here referred to as "The Money Mad
Priest of Royal Oak," and his appeals for funds
for his hate-spreading Social Justice are analyzed
to show how "the poverty-stricken 'Shrine of the
Little Flower' shed its rags, having been trans-
formed by the voice of a microphone Midas into
a beautiful, prosperous church structure." The
March issue of Dynamic America carries a well-
written satire on the infamous forgeries, the Pro-
tocols of the Elders of Zion, under the title "Secret
Protocolas of the Philatelic Legion."
The article "Lies Pour Out of Royal Oak" car-

BRILLIANT PROGRAM FEATURES
FESTIVAL OF GEWERKSHAFTEN

A nasty situation has arisen in connec-
tion with the complaint of 10 Jewish em-
ployes who charge that they were dis-
missed from the Old Age Assistance Bu-
reau because of religious and racial preju-
dice.
The new director of the bureau has
stated that "we dismissed 100 employes
over the state as a whole, and only 10
were Jews." There were 12 Jews among
the 91 employed in the Detroit office of
the bureau and of the 17 dismissed 10
were Jews.
"Only 10 were Jews," we are told—and
the public is expected to swallow this
statement as a genuine excuse in the face
of such wholesale dismissal of Jews.
There is an implication in the statement
of "only 10 Jews" as if Jew's are or were
in that offi e out of proportion to the en-
tire force. The statement smacks of haste
and lack of forethought. It is a lame ex-
cuse—since there is no need for such apol-
ogies if the original reasons for their dis-
missals were just.
The issue should be aired freely and
openly, since there is a principle at stake.
Either merit and devotion to duty are the
guiding principles under the civil service
nf
provisions, else _ the American
fair play is at stake.
