all the inhabitants of Palestine,
both Jews and Arabs."
Dr. Weizmann's message bade
the delegates "steel themselves"
for the times and urged them to
lcse themselves in this work for
the Jewish people. The delegates
felt the deep pathos of this
message, knowing that Dr. Weiz-
mann's two sons are casualties
of the war.

President's Message

Dr. Goldstein in his presiden-
tial message predicted that if
the year 1943 did not bring vic-
tory, it would at least be the
prelude to victory, and he stressed
the necessity for formulating
Jewish plans for the day of
peace. America, he declared, had
a deeper stake in Palestine now
than in the first World War.
The American participation in
the routing of Rommel and the
occupation of North Africa had
made the whole Mediterranean
area more vivid in the minds of
Americans. He hoped, he declared,
that Biblical history would be
repeated at the forthcoming
peace conference and "the role
of Cyrus," restorer of the first
Jewish Commonwealth, will fall
in no small measure to the lot
of Franklin Delano Roosevelt,
whom Isaiah would hail, were he
alive today, as "my shepherd to
fulfill my desire and say to Jeru-
salem, it shall be upbuilded."

Goldstein Voices Demands

"Jewish demands of the peace-
makers," said Dr. Goldstein,
"were two-fold including a bill
of rights for Jews as individ-
uals. equal, political, economic
and religious rights for Jews
wherever they dwell, to be inter-
nationally guaranteed under the
same auspices and with the same
implementation as will be avail.
able for every other plan in the
international program for the
peace of the world and, second,
a bill of rights for the Jewish
people as a people, entitled like
every people to a homeland,
where it will have the privileges
of making a home, the unre-
stricted right to enter it, the
untrammeled right to live in it
and the autonomous right to
manage it."
Various speakers demanded
that the United Nations now re-
veal its plans for solving the
problem of world Jewish home-
lessness and clearly also state
their policy touching the Jewish
National Home. Dr. Abba Hillel
Silver, emphasizing the point that
too much hope as regards the
Jewish question was not to be
laid on any generalities of lib-
eralism now being offered, de-
clared that "there were govern-
ments in exile who were yet, de-
spite their own miserable con-
dition at present, still shot
through with anti-Semitism." The
solution for the Jewish disper-
sion, said Dr. Silver, was not
in another dispersion but in an
ingathering.

Democracies Blamed

Dr. Nahum Goldman, member
of the administrative committee
of the Jewish Agency, declared
that the democratic nations had
a special responsibility to the
Jew in the light of their failure
to take early action against Hit-
lerism. "The democratic nations

watched for 10 years the devel-
opment of the Hitler policy
against the Jews culminating in
the present policy of complete
extermination of millions of Jews
without doing anything about it."
Barkley Praises
The principal speakers at the
banquet to Dr. Goldstein Sunday
night were majority leader in
the United States Senate Senator
Albert W. Barkley of Kentucky
and U. S. Senator-elect Homer
Ferguson of Michigan. Senator
Barkley praised the social prin-
ciples guiding the land policy of
the Jewish National Fund and
declared that this program as
exemplified in Palestine was
worthy of imitation by many of
the countries of the world.
Senator - elect Ferguson ex-
pressed his deep sympathies with
the Zionist aims and promised
to work together with the senior
Senator from Michigan, Senator
Vandenberg, for the cause of
the Jewish Homeland.
Mendel N. Fisher, executive
director of the Jewish National
Fund, declared that a compari-
son of the figures showed that
the Jewish National Fund has
made progress every year of Dr.
Goldstein's administration from
1933 to 1942. "We are gradually
reaching our million dollar mark
in the traditional collections,"
said Mr. Fisher. The money
raised in this fashion, Mr. Fisher
pointed out, "does not in any
way infringe on other cam-
paigns." The bulk of the funds
of the World Jewish National
Fund, Mr. Fisher stated, now
come from America.
Numerous tributes were paid
to Dr. Goldstein on the occasion
of his entering on the 10th year
as president of the Jewish Na-
tional Fund. Dr. Abba Hillel Sil-
ver declared that Dr. Goldstein
had in every year of his adminis-
tration raised the J. N. F. to
a higher level. Dr. Chaim Weiz-
mann in his message to Dr. Gold-
stein declared that the time had
gone by when the Jewish Na-
tional Fund played a role of
secondary importance. Praise was
also voiced for Mendel N. Fisher,
executive director, Dr. Goldstein
declaring that working as Mr.
Fisher does "behind the scenes."
his activity was not always ap-
parent to the outsider, but that
"no organization could claim a
more efficient servant than Mr.
Fisher,"

Knowing that a Democracy
stands or falls on the capacity
of its citizens to exercise self-
control, I will conduct myseif
for the duration on these prin-
ciples:
1. Free speech is a responsi-
bility as well as a right; there-
fore I will not casually criticize
Labor or Management, Military
or Civilian Leaders, unless I have
all of the facts bearing on a
situation, before me—and am
competent, technically or profes-
sionally--to pass judgment on
their conduct.
2. Recognizing that dissension
is an aid to the enemy, I will
not fret about the mistakes of
the past or assume that our
Allies are not carrying their
share of the load, but will be
concerned only with the ques-
tion: "Am I doing all I can to
help win the war?"
3. Realizing that "Too little
and too late" describes a condi-
tion favoring defeat, I will vol-
untarily relinquish any act or
effort to take personal advantage
of the present situation to gain
selfish ends; and will not put
achievement of personal ambi-
tions above the importance of
getting the war won.
