Bus Spokesman Urges "Yes" When the DSR was created by
the people of Detroit the DSR
Vote on Proposal No. 3
The Michigan Motor Carrier
Act has been a mighty good law
for the registration and control
of commercial bus and truck
traffic on the public highways of
Michigan," Manferd Burleigh of
the Michigan Motorbus Associa-
tion said in urging a "yes" vote
on Proposal No. 3.
"Every state in the nation has
such a law. And if it is a good
law for one bus operator, it
ought to be a good law for an-
othe• bus operator, no matter
who owns the bus, no matter if
it is a one-man company oper-
ating two or three buses in rural
territory or a municipally owned
system operating 5,000 buses.
"That is, when the munici-
pally owned buses undertake to
operate on the public highways
of this state more than two miles
beyond the city limits.
"Now why should the DSR seek
special privileges from the State
of Michigan which the city of
Detroit has never granted them?
was told it would have to stand
on its own feet 'Just like any
other private corporation.' Those
words are in the City Charter.
"If the DSR asks privileges
from the state it should expect
to obtain the same treatment that
is accorded the rest of the high-
way users of Michigan.
"As Gov. Luren D. Dickinson
said when he signed the bill
known as Proposal No. 3, 'What
is fair for one is fair for all.'
That's what a 'Yes' vote on
Proposal No. 3 really means."

the President."
In an editorial in the monthly
journal "Opinion," which he
edits, Dr. Wise said:
"The most loathesome means
and methods have been used in
order to terrorize Jewish sup-
porters of the President to fore-
swear their alegiance to the Dem-
ocratic Party and its candidate.
"On every hand," he con-
tinued, "there come to me proofs
of such disgusting coercion on
the part of Jewish friends of the
Republican candidate.
"Personally, I prefer to believe
that the latter does not know,
and if he knew, would be
ashamed of the base tactics of
such Jews."

With the European war ragin g
ever closer to the Mediterraia'an
and with the possibility of Pales-
tine's passing under the domina-
tion of Italy, the question arises,
"Should Italy Win the Present
War, Will Zionism Have Failed?"
For 20 years the Jews have
been building and expanding in
Palestine. They have been grow.
ing in spite of Arab riots ;mil
violence, increasing in spite of
British opposition, flourishing in
spite of Axis interference. Pales-
tine has succeeded up to this
point because Jews have been
willing to fight and sacrifice for
every yard of land bought, for
the entry of every new immigr;int
into the land.
History shows us that a nation
cannot be destroyed as long as
its people do not give up. Pales-
tine will never be lost to the Jews,
Zionism will never fail as long
as there are people willing I 0
fight for its realization. As Pales-
tine's Jews are working and fight.
ing to strengthen their position
in Palestine, so much American
Jews work to prepare Palestine
for its future task. For when this
war ends, and when Hitler and
Mussolini, too, shall pass away,
the need of European Jews for
Palestine will be more pressing
than ever before.
Jewry is fighting a battle for
its life. There is no place for de-
featism on the battlefield. The
struggle is going to be a bitter
one, but Jewry must gird its
loins and give its all for the bat-
tle that will not be lost as long
as a single Jew continues to
fight.
