DETROIT JEWISH CHRONICLE and The Legal Chronicle

NEW YORK. (WNS)—An 11-
point resolution calling upon the
United States and other United
Nations to take immediate action
to rescue as many as possible of
the 5,000,000 Jews facing certainw
death in Nazi-occupied Europe
was adopted at a "Stop Hitlet
Now" pr o t e s t demonstratiA
which drew more than 50,000
Christians and Jews to Madison
Square Garden.
More than 21,000 person
crowded into every inch of space
in the Garden and an equal num-
ber stood in the streets through-
out the meeting—one of the larg-
est demonstrations ever held in
New York. Loudspeakers and am-
plifiers brought the speeches to
the throngs in the streets. Thou.
sands of others had to be turned
away by the police.
The adopted resolution, which
was forwarded to President
Roosevelt, urged the United Na-
tions to negotiate through neutral
countries with Nazi - dominated
lands for the release of Jewish
victims of the Hitler terror and
their evacuation to countries of
refuge to be named by the Allied
nations.
The demonstration demanded
also that the United States relax
its immigration laws to permit
additional Jewish refugees to find
sanctuary on our shores, and
called upon England to open the
doors of Palestine to the thou-
sands of persecuted Jews clamor-
ing for admission.
One of the high points of the
demonstration was the recital by
the entire audience of "Kaddish"
for the estimated 2,000,000 Jews
who have been butchered by Hit-
ler's troops since their rampage
across Europe. Many in the huge
crowd were crying openly during
the memorial prayer.
Included among the speakers or
those who sent messages to the
meeting were Dr. Chaim Weiz-
mann, president of the Jewish
Agency for Palestine; Dr. Ste-
phen S. Wise, president of the
American Jewish Congress; Gov-
ernor Thomas E. Dewey of New
York; Mayor LaGuardia of New
York City; William Green, presi-
dent of the American Federation
of Labor; James B. Carey, secre-
tary-treasurer of the CIO; Bishop
Henry St. George Tucker, presid-
ing Bishop of the Episcopal
Church in America; Dr. Henry A.
Atkinson, general secretary of
the Church Peace Union, and
many others.
Supreme Court Justice William
0. Douglas and Senator Robert
F. Wagner addressed the meeting
by radio from Washington. Sir
William Beveridge, author of the
celebrated Beveridge Plan, broad-

to understand why the free na-
tions, in arms against a resur-
gent, organized barbarism, re-
quired appeals to give sanctuary
to the first and chief victims of
that barbarism."
In his special broadcast to the
meeting Lord Beveridge said: "To
win the war and leave the prob-
lem of Jewry unsettled for the
future will be to fail in one of
the objects of victory. The issue
raised by the latest prosecution
•
of the Jews is a test of the capac-
ity of the United Nations as a
grand alliance to make up their
minds upon the problem for
whose solution the alliance ex-
ists, and in hopes of whose solu-
tion it fights."
The Archbishop of Canterbury in
a message said: "I trust that our
two nations may unite in offering
all possible aid and place of ref-
uge for Jews now threatened
with massacre and so do what
we can to mitigate the most ap-
palling horror in recorded his-
tory."

READY FOR SHIPMENT. This is a small part of
the consignment of medical and surgical supplies
which the Joint Distribution Committee is shipping
to Polish refugees in Asiatic Russia. Giving thent a
fins) check-up are two prominent New York ph)si.
dans, Dr. A. J. Rongy (felt), well-known gynecolo-
gist, end Dr. J. J. Golub, Director of the Hospital for
Joint Diseases. This latest J.D.C. shipment includes
every surgical tool and piece of hospital equipment,
from rubber glotes - to microscopes and intravenous

tubing for blood plasma administration, as well as

sheets, blankets and diapers, needed to outfit six
base hospitals. All that will be necessary once the
shipment arrives will be to construct wooden
structures and cots. Since the beginning of 1942,
the J.D.C. has spent nearly 8100,000 to ship urg-
ently needed medical supplies to the Polish refu-
gees in Russia. It is cooperating in this program
on a non-sectarian basis with the Polish Got ernment•

Greater Detroit Bnai Brith Council
Thanks The Detroit Jewish Chronicle

March 1, 1943.

Jewish Chronicle,
525 Woodward Avenue,
Detroit, Michigan.

Gentlemen :

I am writing on behalf of the Greater Detroit
Bnai Brith Council to thank you for the publicity
and the splendid cooperation you gave to the Coun-
cil in its recent War Bond Drive.

We believe that as a direct result of the pub-
licity given by you to our efforts we were able not
only to obtain our goal of a million dollars in bonds
but to substantially go over that amount by approxi-
mately half a million dollars.

Again thanking you, I am,
Sincerely yours,

Louis Rosenzweig,
Secretary.

such havens of refuge as will be
provided; and that such neutral
states as tire in a position to enter
into direct discussion with the
German Government be urged to
make similar representations.
2. The United Nations should
take steps, without delay, to des-
ignate and establish a number of
sanctuaries in Allied or neutral
states to serve, under agreed con-
ditions, as havens of refuge for
those Jews whose release from
captivity may be arranged for,
or who may find their way to
freedom through efforts of their
own.
3. The procedure that now pre-
vails in the administration of ex-
isting' immigration law in the
U. S., which acts as deterrent and
retardation of legal immigration
under the established quotas,
should be revised and adiusted to
the war conditions and in order
that refugees from Nazi-occupied
territories may find sanctuaries
here within such quotas.
4. Subject to the maintenance
of national security, Great. Brita'n
should be asked to provide for re-
ceiving a reasonable quota of the
victims escaping from Nazi-occu-
pied territories and to provide for
their accommodation for the du-
ration.
5.The United Nations should
urge the republics of Latin Amer-
ica to modify such administrative
regulations that now make immi-
gration under the law extremely
difficult and to endeavor under
existing immigration law to find
temporary havens of refuge for
an agreed number of refugees.
II. Overriding post-war political
con&dreations, England should be
asked to open the doors of Pales-
tine—the Jewish homeland—for
Jewish immigration, and the offer
of hospitality made by the Jewish
community of Palestine should be
accepted.
7. The United Nations should
provide financial guarantees to all
such neutral states as have pro-
vided temporary refuge to Jews
from Nazi-occupied territories.
The transfer of such refugees to
the designated sanctuaries should
he undertaken without delay. At
the same time, however, such neu-
tral states should be encouraged
to continue to provide accommo-
dation for such refugees as may
come to them over the borders of
Nazi-occupied territory, the Uni-
ted Nations giving adequate finan-
cial guarantees to such states for
the feeding and maintenance and
eventual evacuation of such refu-
gees.
8. In view of the fact that
planned mass starvation is the de-
sign of the Nazi regime in its in-
human warfare, the United Na-
tions are urged to take iiteps
without delay, but with due re-
gard for the economic warfare
being waged against the aggres-
sor States, to organizo through
neutral agencies for the feeding
of the unfortunate victims who
are doomed to linger under Nazi
oppression.
9. It is submitted that the Uni-
ted Nations should undertake to
provide the financial guarantees
that may be required for the exe-
cution of the program of rescue
here outlined.
10. The United Nations are
urged to establish an appropriate
inter-government agency to which
authority and power shall be giv-
en to implement the program of
rescue here outlined. • .
11. It is further urge• that
steps be taken without delay to
implement the declared intention
of the United Nations to bring
the criminals to justice. to appoint
a commission to assemble the evi-
dence on which the trials shall be

based and to establish the proce-
dure of such a tribunal. In the
name of humanity—for the sake
of that cause which the armies of
democracies have risen to defend
—we submit this appeal to the
President and the Government of
the U. S. with the expectation
that effective action will be taken
without delay.
