Labor Day Week-End Out-
ing of Sholem Aleichem
Folk Institute at Camp
Mehia

The annual Labor Day week-end
outing of the Sholem Aleichem
Institute will take place at Camp
Mehia, on Wamplers Lake in the
Irish Hills, it was announced this
week.
The festivities, which will in-
clude varied entertainment and
sports, will commence Saturday,
Aug. 30, and will continue through
Monday, Sept. 1.
Members and friends and their
families are invited to participate
in this outing. There will be a
literary program, in which promi-
nent artists will participate, and
members of the Cleveland Dra-
matic Studio will be present to
offer several selections.
Swimming, canoeing, dancing
and other sports will be included
in the athletic features of the
program.
For reservations, call Tyler
5-7738.
Two of the four branches of
the Sholem Aleichem Folk In-
stitute, at the McCullough and
Brody Schools, will reopen on
Tuesday, Sept. 3. Classes for be-
ginners are being organized. It
is urged that parents register
their children at once. For infor-
mation, call Tyler 5-7738.

In a public statement to Jewish
organizations, issued over the
signatures of a number of promi-
nent Jewish American Trade Un-
ionists, an appeal is made "to
give wholehearted support to
President Roosevelt's policy of all-
out aid to Great Britain, the
Soviet Union, China and all other
nations fighting Hitlerism."
The statement of the Jewish-
trade union leaders declares in
part:
"The destiny of the world, the
fate of all Jewry is today being
decided by the outcome of the
world's bloodiest conflict now rag-
ing on the Eastern front, in the
struggle of the Soviet and Brit-
ish peoples against the vicious ag-
gressors"
"We Jewish American trade
unionists realize that if the USSR
falls, it will create a grave men-
ace for all America. It would put
Hitler and his Japanese ally in
control of both the Atlantic and
Pacific. It would pave the way for
his conquest of China and India
as well as Africa. It would geo-
graphically locate Hitler's armies
and Gestapo three miles from
American territory. It would al-
low Hitler to mobilize for an all-
out attack on Great Britain; all
this would give him the power
to dictate terms to the USA or
if necessary vanquish the Western
Hemisphere by force of arms."
"For the Jews of the world a
Nazi victory would be the un-
leashing of unprecedented po-
groms, if not eventual annihila-
tion."
"Unity of all our people is the
only medium through which we
can aid in this defeat."
The statement was signed by
Joseph Zuckerman, Michigan State
Organizer of the International
Ladies Garment Workers Union
of America; Jacob Kaller, busi-
ness agent, of Local 1513, Carpen-
ter's Union, AFL, and J. Katz,
president, respectively; Robert
Wolpe, president of Linen and
Laundry Drivers, Teamsters Coun-
cil; Samuel Levine, executive
board member, Plymouth local 51,
UAW; Edward L. Shulman, execu-
tive board member, State, County
and Municipal Workers of Amer-
ica, CIO; Harry Rothenberg, busi-
ness agent, Fur Workers Union,
CIO; Henry Sazar, secretary of
Hat, Cap and Millinery Workers
Union, AFL; Sol Lifton, business
agent, Local 283 Amalagamated
Clothing Workers, and a number
of other AFL and CIO local
leaders.

HIS PEN HITS THE MARK
AGAINST HITLERISM

Szyk has been a political cal.
toonist all of his life, except the
four years which he spent on hts
early childhood. At the. age of
four he was stirred by the Boxer
Rebellion in China to take up th,
art of political cartooning. It
therefore, no suprise to find hi
pen hitting the mark against Hit-
lerism with so much venom and
devastating bitterness today,
His technique and style suggest
the painstaking devotion to detail
that was so characteristic of the
Renaissance. Szyk studied art in
France and his artistic back-
ground is dominated by the French
influence. But he does not fol-
low any definite school. From his
teachers he learned how to paint ;
however, "the artist must remain
the sole judge of what he is to
paint," the cartoonist who is
most feared by the Nazi leaders
said.
In his militant outlook on Jew-
ish life, Szyk, the artist-warrior,
has little regard for any Jew
who is not aggressive in defense
of his people's rights. This point
of view dates back to Szyk's
activities among the Jews of Po-
land, where he founded and served
as the honorary head of a military
organization of Polish Jews work-
ing in collaboration with the gov-
ernment. While he abhors na-
tionalism as such, Szyk is never-
theless an ardent Zionist, who
would like to see the Jews of
Palestine follow the example of the
early settlers of the United States
in fighting more vigorously for
their rights. "Palestine and the
United States have a great deal
in common. This country too was
founded and built up as a result
of persecution in Europe. Zionists
must be more militant because no
nation has ever attained its lib-
erty except through blood and
struggle."
He is outspoken in his protest
against the treatment of the Jews
of Poland by the Jews of other
countries. Polish Jewry, which he
believes is the heart of Judaism
throughout the world, has been
relegated to the position of sec-
ond-class citizenship among the
Jewish people. He is particularly
bitter about the attitude of the
German Jews who treat the Pol-
ish Jews as their inferiors.
Reviewing the plight of the
Jews in the world today, Szyk
said: "I belong to a race whose
calamities have become a bit too
commonplace for the rest of the
world. The world is almost as
much used to our tragedies as it
is to those of the Chinese. That
is why all our warnings about the
true intentions of Hitler fell on
deaf ears."
Mr. Szyk's cigarette was now
a mere crimson speck in the long
holder that extended beyond his
horn-rimmed glasses and his
round, cherubic face. For four
decades he has worked prodig-
iously., He does not regard an
artist as one who must wait for
his inspiration. In fact, he doesn't
believe in inspiration. His works,
most of them on Judaic and Bib-
lical subjects, are distributed in
famous museums and libraries
throughout the world. A series
of his paintings on the history of
the American Revolution now
hangs in the White House at
Washington. It was the gift of
the President of Poland to Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
Having lost his country and
having lived in exile in London,
Szyk treasures most of all the
God-given blessing of freedom.
That is why you will find him
bent over his drawing-table fever-
ishly seeking to arouse the demo-
cratic world to the real menace of
the forces of slavery and Hitler-
ism.
