"cruel blow."
"Jews, and all non-Jews who
are sympathetically interested in
the plight of Jewry, should bear
in mind that the defeat of Hitler
will not of itself normalize Jew-
ish life in Europe," the statement
said. "Following an Allied vic-
tory, the Jews of Europe, we are
confident, will be restored to their
political rights and to equality of
citizenship. But they possessed
these rights after the last war
and yet the past twenty-five years
have witnessed a rapid and ap-
palling deterioration in their posi-
tion. In any case, even after peace
is restored, Europe will be so
ravaged and war-torn that large
masses of Jews will elect migra-
tion to Paestine as a soution of
their personal problems."
The rabbis expressed confidence
that their fellow-Americans would
not be led to misconstrue the at-
titude of American Jews to
America because of their interest
in Zionism. They declared that
all fair-minded Americans knew
that Jews in this country bore
only one political allegiance — to
the United States. They said
there was nothing in Zionism to
impair this loyalty."
Mrs. Danzig Elected
Vice President of
Women's Mizrachi
Mrs. Abraham M. Danzig of
Detroit, was elected a national
vice-president of the Mizrachi
Women's Organization of Amer-
ica, an orthodox Zionist move-
ment for a traditional Palestine
at the recently concluded national
convention in New York City.
Mrs. Danzig is also chairman
of the mid-western region of the
Mizrachi Women. Last year she
was chairman of the national
convention held in Chicago.
The Mizrachi Women adopted
a budget of $250,000 for their
projects in Palestine at the con-
vention just concluded. On the
home front they pledged them-
selves to purchase one million dol-
lars worth of War Bonds and
Stamps, on top of the more than
$500,000 they raised in the last
year.
In Palestine the organization
maintains a network of homes,
schools, training centers, social
welfare activities and civilian de-
fense endeavors. In behalf of ref-
ugee and native girls, particularly,
and the Jewish community in gen-
eral.

"Mr. Sulzberger's position as an
anti-Zionist is well known, as is
that of the rabbi whose pulpit
was used for this pronouncement.
This very small group of articu-
late anti-Zionists have been in
opposition since long before the
present war. So were many like
them in Germany, who scoffed
and cast ridicule upon the Zion-
ists in times gone by. Jews with
foresight, nevertheless supported
the Zionist ideal. The magnificent
accomplishment in Palestine, the
550,000 Jews, including many of
the German-Jewish scoffers, the
great cultural achievements, the
Palestine Potash Co., which is the
chief Allied source of supply of
potash, and most important of
all, the existence of a democratic
oasis in a desert of pro-Axis
Arab countries—all these have
materialized despite the opposi-
tion of Arthur Sulzberger and his
small group.
* * *
These recalcitrants are wont to
voice approval of the rehabilitation
work done in Palestine, but pro-
test against political Zionism,
whatever that may mean. Thus
Mr. Sultzberger hopes that af-
ter the war it may be possible
to "create a great state out of
several of the countries in that
section of the world and that this
state will welcome all who wish
to come."
This is so typical of the ob-
structionist tactics of these jit-
tery people! He implies the neces-
sity of creating a haven some-
where—now the Near East — a
short time ago Biro Bijon—then
San Domingo — but never, oh
never—the one place where per-
secuted Jews yearn to go, their
own Eretz Israel.
Men like Wendell Wilkie, Vice-
President Wallace, Senator Bark-
ley, Senator Wagner, Senator Van-
denberg, Prof. Albright, Dr. Nei-
buhr and hosts of others have
caught a glimpse of the vision
of a Palestine redeemed by Jews
—and Jews emancipated spiritual-
ly through the recreation of the
Jewish homeland.
* *
Millions of Jews the world over
are aghast at the recurring signs
of anti-Semitism, and the sight of
Jews recoiling under the moral
impact of this world-wide disease.
Only Zionism is the cure for this
malady, not alone as a haven of
refuge for the millions of state-
less and hapless people who will
have to find a home after this
war, but also as the best solution
for the age-old problem of Jew-
ish minority status.
Whatever we are, we want not
any more the status of a wan-
dering, ghost-like people. Give us
a fixed Homeland, where stateless
and oppressed Jews may go and
establish there a normal Jewish
