U. S. Closed to Immigrants

WASHINGTON (WNS) —At-
torney General Robert H. Jack-
son announced here that the
United States will no longer
keep its doors open to immi-
grants "unless it affirmatively
appears to be for the American
interest."
The new procedure marks a
radical departure from the tra-
ditional American "open door"
policy. At the same time, Mr.
Jackson declared that plans had
been completed for the finger-
printing and registration of
aliens.
Mr. Jackson made his an-
nouncement after the Depart-
ure of Justice had assumed con-
trol of the Immigration and
Naturalization " Service, formerly
under the Labor Department.
Secretary of State Hull an-
nounced here that the United
States Government is launching
a comprehensive investigation
into Italian consular activities
in this country as well as the
activities of representatives of
other foreign powers. Mr. Hull's
statement followed publicatien of
charges against the Italian con-
sulate general in New York.
Don Ascanio dio principi Co-
lonna, Italian Ambassador to
the United States, lodged a pro-
test with Secretary of State
Cordell Hull against what he
termed to be "an unjustified ef-
fort" to foment anti-Italian feel-
ing in the United States.
The protest was made follow-
ing publication in New York of
a document charging Italian con-
sular officials in the United States
with spreading Fascist propa-
ganda. The Italian Ambassador
said that Italian consuls in this
country restrict their activities
to their legal functions.

Yishuv Mobilizes Entire Defense
Resources; Pledges Aid

JERUSALEM (Palcor Agency)
—Asserting that Italy's declara-
tion of war had occasioned no
surprise among the Jewish pop-
ulation of Palestine Yishuv lead-
ers announced that the entire re-
sources of the Yishuv were be-
ing mobilized for the defense of
Eretz Israel.
The prevailing feeling through-
out the country is one of tran-
quility, and there is evident com-
plete readiness to undergo what-
ever tests of fortitude and pow-
er the immediate future may
hold in store.
Since last September, it is
pointed out, Palestine has been
prepared for any eventuality.
Although not actually at war,
as part of the British Empire
the Holy Land has been on a
war footing, and its defenses
have been built up on a basis of
complete readiness. The numer-
our wartime rules and regula-
tions affecting the whole of the
Colonial Empire have also been
applied to this Mandated terri-
tory. In order to stabilize as far
as possible the life of the coun-
try should war actually reach
these shores, there have been in
force special regulations cover-
ing disposition and prices of
foodstuffs, building materials and
other essential articles and com-
modities, banking procedure and,
of course, the inevitable censor-
ship of press and correspond-
ence.
The Jewish agency has taken
a hand in the organization of the
emergency measures and has had
several committees at work to
protect the Jewish population
against the exigencies of war.

Air-Raid Precautions

With the outbreak of war, ar-
rangements were expedited by
the Hadassah-Rothschild - Uni-
versity Hospital on Mount Sco-
pus, on the basis of preparations
made during the preceding weeks
of crisis, to provide for the pro-
per emergency services. A full
stock of medicaments. medical
preparations and requirements,
in gas-proofed rooms if neces-
sary.
In the matter of air-raid pre-
cautions, the program was in gen-
eral modelled after that used in
the British Isles and was inaugu-
rated as far back as a year and
a half ago. The air-raid shel-
ters now being built are the cli-
max of a long series of prepara-
tions designed to render Pales-
tine's population capable of pro-

per action in case of emergency.
Special air-raid wardens, prepar-
ed to render technical and medi-
cal aid, have long been assigned
their specific duties. In these vi-
tal functions the Civil Guard of
Tel Aviv is trained to play a
leading role. In an effort to show
the population what must be ex-
pected — particularly in Haifa,
which assumes special strategic
importance as the outlet of the
Iraq petroleum pipeline — air-
raid tests have been realistic,
with smoke candles and large
crackers used to stimulate bombs.
Arrangements for possible ev-
acuation from danger zones were
drafted by the various district
authorities last fall. The special
defense committee established ro-
cently by the Vaad Loumi in co-
operation with the Jewish Agen-
cy and other Yishuv bodies last
month formulated a program in-
cluding the systematic evacua-
tion of children from the danger
zones. But the Jewish leaders
have emphasized that the Yishuv
does not contemplate full evacua-
tion of any Jewish point in Pal-
estine, regardless of danger.
As Italy's first thrust into the
eastern INIediterranean is awaited,
Palestine, protected by nightly
blackouts, is ready; and the Yis-
huv is fully prepared to coop-
erate loyally and to the utmost
with the armed forces—the Aus-
tralian, New Zealand and Brit-
ish soldiers — whom Great Brit-
ain has placed at strategic points
to guard the country.
As part of the defense regula-
tions governing strategic points
in Palestine, the Palestine Gov-
ernment proclaimed the Jaffa and
Tel Aviv ports as "protected
areas." Haifa was similarly de-
scribed in legislation recently is-
sued.
No persons without due au-
thority will be permitted any-
where in the vicinities of the
harbors for which additional pro-
tective measures were undertak-
en following the declaration of
war by Italy.
Meanwhile, the loyalty of the
Jewish Community of Palestine
to the Allied cause and its readi-
ness to contribute all resources
and to make all sacrifice for the
war effort was expressed to the
Chief Secretary of the Palestine
Government, John S. MacPher-
son, by Isaac ben Zvi and Mayor
Israel Rokach of Tel Aviv, who
visited the Government execu-
tive on behalf of the Vaad
Leumi.

Nazis Regard Western Hemis-
phere As. Their "Hunting
Grounds," Warns Wallace

BENNINGTON, Vt. (WNS)-
Warning that if Nazi Germany
wins the war she will have "the
complete resources of the Europ-
ean and African continents and
a slave population of 400 million
people," Secretary of Agricul-
ture Henry A. Wallace declared
that the Nazis regard the West-
ern Hemisphere as "their even-
tual happy hunting grounds."
"Force and force alone counts
with the Nazis," Mr. Wallace
said. "A German economist, who
was one of the ablest of all the
statisticians in the German Gov-
ernment before Hitler, says that
Nazi Germany has spent the
equivalent of 20 billion dollars
a year for five years on arma-
ments. The American public is
not yet awake to the magnitude
of the problem we are facing."

Civil Liberties Union Calls for
Committees to Guard Civil
Rights

NEW YORK, (WNS) — The
formation of vigilance commit-
tees to guard against the viola-
tion of civil rights was demand-
ed by the American Civil Liber-
ties Union in a statement made
public here. The Union, which
asked interested persons to apply
for detailed information said its
move was designed to check fifth
columnists and "Trojan Horse"
elements.
The organization has appealed
to Attorney General Robert F.
Jackson to definie the term "sub-
versive activities," arguing that
the public should have a clearer
conception of what constitutes
subversive activities.

Georgia Leaders Appeal for Pres-
ervation of Civil Rights
ATLANTA (WNS) — In a

statement urging the preserva-
tion of civil rights, a group of
Atlanta's business, civic and re-
ligious leaders warned against
adopting towards aliens, non-con-
formists and minority group:
"attitudes which are more like
those which prevail in the ag-
gressor States than like those
upon which America has stood."

THE JUVENILE COURT— sists that his probation officers Tommy Marvin's Orchestra
try to make the children that
Plays for Sisterhood
THE FRIEND OF YOUTH come to them feel that the court
is their friend—that it is there
Moonlight
The present method of handl-

ing children who "get into trou-
ble" is a far cry from that of
40 years ago. It was common
then to treat children in the
same way as hardened adult
criminals. When they were ar-
rested they were locked up in

to help them in their trouble—
not to punish or harm them in
any way. Everything done is
for the child's best interest, with
the hope that the plan will help
the boy and girl find satisfactory
outlets for their energies and
adjust their behavior to the
standards set up by society.
The Court today is part of the
American way of life and is a
vital force in the community,
helping to build the citizens of
tomorrow to carry on our demo-
cratic way of living.

Picnic of J. W. E. W. O. on
July 14

JUDGE D. J. HEALY

the same jails, often in the same
room with old timers hardened
to the ways of crime. They
were tried in the same court
rooms, by the same judge and
many times given the same pun-
ishment as adult offenders.
In Michigan, as elsewhere, the
establishment of Juvenile Courts
for the care and treatment of
"bad boys and girls" was the
outgrowth of years of struggle
by socially minded people. They
felt that something should be
done to help these poor, unfor-
tunate children who had strayed
from the path of normal be-
havior often through no fault of
their own. Today, boys and girls
under 17 who commit any offense
contrary to law are not classed
as criminals or treated as such.
Rather they are recognized as
children who need special care
and protection for the purpose
of correcting their anti-social
tendencies and to help them
grow up to be normal and use-
ful citizens of the state.
Wayne County is fortunate in
having a Juvenile Court staffed
with trained social workers and
probation officers who can diag-
nose and treat intelligently the
boys and girls who come to the
court's attention. Judge D. J.
Healy, Judge of Probate, in
charge of the Juvenile Court, in-

At a board meeting of the
Jewish Women's European Wel-
fare Organization, held Monday,
at the home of Mrs. S. Osnos, an
application was considered to
bring three refugee orphans to
Detroit. Action will be taken at
the next meeting.
It was decided to have the
annual picnic on Sunday, July
14. Mesdames A. Katzin, S. Os-
nas and Feldman are chairmen
of this affair.
Proceeds will go for emergency
relief to orphans in Europe.
