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.

This dedication will re;H: `To Cain—From Abel'" 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.
