tribution; and all men of good
will must assuredly hope that in
the new Europe the Jewish peo-
ple, in whatever country they
may live, will have freedom and

The Message of Mr. Greenwood
The statement of the Rt. Hon.
Arthur Greenwood in its full text
declares:
"Your visit to the United

States to consult with your
colleagues of the Executive of
the World Jewish Congress
gives me an opportunity of
sending them through you a
message of encouragement and
warm good wishes.
"The tragic fate of the Jew-
ish victims of Nazi tyranny
has, as you know, filled us with
a deep emotion. The speeches
of responsible British states-
men in Parliament and at the
League of Nations during the
past seven years have reflected
the horror with which the peo-
ple of this country have viewed
the Nazi relapse into barbar-
ism. The British government
sought again and again to se-
cure some amelioration of the
lot of persecuted Jewry both

in Germany itself and in the
countries which were infected
by the Nazi doctrine of racial
hatred.
"Today the same sinister
power which has trampled on
its own defenseless minorities,

and by fraud and force has
temporarily robbed many small
peoples of their independence,
has challenged the last strong-
hold of liberty in Europe.
When we have achieved vic-
tory, as we assuredly shall, the
nations will have the oppor-
tunity of establishing a new
world order based on the ideals
of justice and peace. In such a
world it is our confident hope
that the c onscience of civilized
humanity would demand that
the wrongs suffered by the
Jewish people in so many
countries should be righted.
"In the rebuilding of civil-
ized society after the war,
there should, and will, be a
real opportunity for Jews
everywhere to make a distinc-
tive and constructive contribu-
tion; and all men of good will
must assuredly hope that in
the new Europe the Jewish
people, in whatever country
they may live, will have free-
dom and full equality before
the law with every other citi-
zen."
The Comment of Dr. Wise:

years of the Hitler regime and
that in a world of law and
order unlike Hitler's disorder
and lawlessness, Jews in what-
ever country they may live
will have 'freedom and full
equality before the law with
every other citizen.
"In a sense this statement
of Mr. Greenwood's has wider
and farther reaching implica-
tions than the Balfour Dec-
laration of Nov. 2, 1917, for
Mr. Greenwood's statement has
regard to the status of Jews
throughout the world, that is,
in all lands, after the down-
fall of Hitler's and Mussolini's
regime of lawlessness and de-
struction..
"It is with deepest satisfac-
tion that I receive the letter
from a distinguished member
of the War Cabinet and the
Deputy Leader of the Labor
Party, the Rt. Hon. Arthur
Greenwood, addressed to our
colleague in the World Jewish
Congress, the Rev. Rabbi Mau-
rice L. Perlzweig. This letter
of Mr. Greenwood expresses
what we have known to be the
attitude of England to the Jew-
ish people. A member of the
English Cabinet has the right
to speak of the c onscience of
civilized humanity, for England
is today the guardian of such
conscience in its unparalleled
resistance to Nazi onslaught.

JEWISH CONGRESS CLOSES YEAR
MARKED BY DEFENSE ACTIVITIES

Meeting; Plan Lecture by Dr. L. M. Birkhead;
Officers Are Elected

At the annual meeting of the
Detroit Section of the American
Jewish Congress, held on Tues-
day evening at the new Carrie
Sittig Cohen Building, reports
were submitted outlining the
year's activities and indicating
many accomplishments on the de-
fense front.
Mrs. Nathan Spevakow, presi-
dent of the Women's Division,
and Dr. Clarissa Fineman, chair-
man of the legislative commit-
tee of the Women's Division, re-
ported on activities involving
legislation. Rabbi J. S. Sperka re-
ported for a special defense com-
mittee. Dr. Robert Rosen, presi-
dent of the Michigan Encamp-
ment of the Jewish War Veter-
ans of the United States, told
of joint efforts with the Congress
to prevent the spread of anti-
Semitic propaganda. The . treas-
urer's report was presented by
Sol Lifsitz.
An outline of activities by the
Congress locally, nationally and
on through the World Jewish
Dr. Wise, in commenting upon Congress was given by Philip
the communication received from Slomovitz.
In his report, Mr. Slomovitz
the British War Cabinet, de-
laid emphasis on the historic im-
clared:
"I interpret the message of portance of the statement of the
Mr. Greenwood of the British British War Cabinet, made to
War Cabinet as a statement of the World Jewish Congress, as-
England's firm intention to suring that the wrong perpetrated
help right the wrongs which against the Jews will be righted.
Jews have suffered and con- He also announced that plans are

ing the American Jewish Con-
gress and the World Jewish
Congress, can only say that the
opportunity which Mr. Green-
wood holds out for Jews every-
where to make a distinctive and
constructive contribution in the
rebuilding of civilized society
after the war, will be utilized
by Jews in all lands that are
once again to be free. Jews
in all lands, outside of those
under immediate Nazi-Fascist
dominance, rest their faith not
onl y in England's power of
resistance but above all in Eng-
land's will to be free and to
help all peoples to freedom and
full equality of the law in
whatever country they may
live."
