and when there are no 'agencies to com-
pel obedience to cease and desist orders.
This order is a recognition of the right
of everyone to equal work opportunity.
How long it will take before this is in-
tegrated into the fabric of American
thinking no one can predict; but this we
do know ; that we have been moving
ever in the direction of the attainment
of the American dream of freedom and
equality.
We are all equal before the law. You
may not think that means much, but if
you could not qualify as a witness, and
your testimony would not be believed
unless it were corroborated by an Aryan
(if you were a Jewish litigant), then
you would realize how precious this
equality before the law really is.
We enjoy political equality. No man
or woman in the United States of Amer-
ica has more than one vote, and that
vote is cast freely, by secret ballot for
candidates of your own choosing.
In Axis countries, as a Jew you can-
not vote, and if you are not a Jew there

The British Labor Party envisages an
international world and in that interna-
tional world there is no place for minor-
ities, second class citizens, declassed
groups and inferior races. It. is a world
of equal rights and equal obligations. It
is a world without special privileges or
special disabilities. We in America, who
have enjoyed the blessings of equality
and freedom, endorse that resolution
without reservation.
The resolution recognizes the aspira-
tions of the Jewish people for a Jewish
National Home in Palestine, but mere
recognition of such aspirations is not
enough, consequently the conference
urges international assistance be given to
promote by immigration and settlement
the fulfillment of those aspirations.
British labor wants no balance of
power politics; no aloofness from Euro-
pean or world problems. It wants a brave,
bright and new world after the war,
where even those who were singled out
for special discrimination shall be equals,
civilly, religiously and economically.
