Lord Cranborne's heated de- fense of his government came after a withering attack by Lord Davies and Wedgwood, whose theme was that the Palestine government was suffering from the "obsession of appeasement". Even after the Colonial Secre- tary had made his answer and had emphasized that the British Cabinet itself was responsible for decisions on Palestine, Lord Davies countered that it was time for "a drastic spring-clean- ing," necessitated not merely by the events in Palestine but by the successive failures in the management of the war which might spring from the same fac- See STRUMA—Page 12 Intensive activity is still going on in many folk organizations and landsmanschaf ten to swell the funds of this year's Gewerk- shaf ten campaign.

Wineman Declares in Statement on Allied Jewish Campaign In the fourth of a series of Allied Jewish Campaign mes- sages to the contributing public by communal leaders, Henry Wineman declared that all of us must realize that our world cannot be half slave and half free, and that we must help maintain life at home and abroad on every front. "The United Jewish Appeal agencies and related overseas and Palestinian services," said Mr. Wineman, "have been the rallying ground and the battle cry of our Allied Jewish Cam- paign. In American life we are learning that the war cannot be fought on one single front and that victory for democracy as it affects us depends on a victory won everywhere that the war is being waged. Today, of all times, we cannot forget the victims of oppression, nor can we help our hard pressed fellow champions of a better day by philanthropic isolationism. Our campaign speeches and slogans must inten- sify this respect for the task as an all-inclusive, united effort to help our friends the world over. "Whatever we can do for Pal- estine and for the Jews in other countries all goes to keep alive ideals and people and program. In the past, we had to answer only to ourselves for the assist- ance we sent 'outside America; today we must answer as well to our neighbors who are partners in a war that calls for better understanding and common ac- tion. "In the case of the United Jewish Appeal, it is important that formal certification and gov- ernment endorsement of over- seas and Palestinian programs continue to be publicized. Such pronouncements represent one of our strongest campaign argu- ments, giving continuing evi- dence that our cause and the American United Nations' cause is one. "Last year contributors asked whether there was a need m these directions for more money. This year many of them are ask- ing whether there is need for as much money, whether the money can really reach the intended beneficiaries, whether other non- denominational organizations and campaigns might not be more ac- ceptable channels for giving.

An- swering the most vigorous criti- cism directed at the Palestine government since the war began, because of the Struma incident and other policies affecting the Jews, Lord Cranborne empha- sized that it was the British gov- ernment in London which had made those policies and which stood directly behind and was guiding the Palestine Adminis- 10c Single Copy; $3.00 Per Yeas DETROIT, MICHIGAN, FRIDAY.
