DETROIT JEWISH CHRONICLE and The Legal Chronicle

PROGRAM

(Continued from Page 1)

Bigotry in U. S. Discussed

For Palestine, itself, the Amer-
ican Jewish Committee recom-
mends "an international trustee-
ship responsible to the United
Nations" which would "safe-
guard Jewish settlement and im-
migration into Palestine and
guarantee adequate scope for fu-
ture growth and development to
the full extent of the absorp-
tive capacity of the country."
The Committee further recom-
mends the establishment "within
a reasonable period of a self-
governing Commonwealth under
a constitution and a bill of rights
that will safeguard and protect
the fundamental rights of all in-
habitants and the holy places of
all faiths."
Judge Proskauer, who was re-
elected to the presidency of the
American Jewish Committee, dis-
cussed the problem of bigotry in
the United States. Deploring the
growth of "venal organified mani-
festations of anti-Semitism which
seek either sordid money or sor-
did political power," he warned
Jews against "taking counsel of
our fears." He urged a policy
of "decency and brotherhood,
and not divisiveness and hostil-
ity" in the solution of specific
problems of anti-Semitism.

Lauds War Refugee Board

The official report of the ex-
ecutive committee, read by Jacob
Blaustein, chairman, praised Pres-
ident Roosevelt for his recent
appointment of a War Refugee
Board which was called "the most
constructive thing done thus far
towards the rescue from the
Nazis of as many Jews and other
persecuted minorities of Europe
as possible." Great faith in the
United Nations Relief and Re-
habilitation Agency was also ex-
pressed by Mr. Blaustein who
emphasized that "the task before
the UNRRA is so huge that it
will need whatever cooperation
private agencies will be able to
give."
Mr. Blaustein's report as chair-
man of the executive committee
recognized that Nazi propaganda
techniques have succeeded to no
inconsiderable extent in creating
and increasing group hatreds and
suspicions between various sec-
tions and fragments of the popu-
lation of the United States." He
warned that "postwar conditions
unfortunately are often propi-
tious for the exploitation for po-
litical purposes of general group
hostility and anti-Jewish preju-
dice, should there be social and
economic dislocations and po-
litical strife at that time."
The overseas problem facing
world Jewry was discussed by
George Z. Medalie, chairman of
the Overseas Committee, who ex-
plained the necessity for "the
establishment of an international
Bill of Rights of Man to be im-
plemented by appropriate ma-
chinery protecting the individual
against the invasion of his rights
by reason of religion."
"At the conclusion of the first
World War," Mr. Medalie said,
"it was widely thought that the
system of minorities guarantees
would insure Jewish equality. The
fact that the status of the Jews
throughout Europe has deterior-
ated so drastically since then is
not a perfect proof the failure
of minorities rights, since that
deterioration can perhaps with
even greater justice be attrib-
uted to the general breakdown of
international morality and social
stability during the long Armis-
tice. Nevertheless, our faith in
the system of minorities guaran-
tees has been shaken; some stu-
dents entirely reject it.' Mr. Med-
alie urged that the gates of Pal-
estine "be kept open to the full
limits of its economic absorptive
capacity."

Waldmans' Warning

Morris D. Waldman, vice chair-
man of the executive committee,
urged that postwar peace plan-
ning stress human self-determina-
tion, rather than national self-
determination. "This principle of
national self-determination, prod-
uct of the first World War," he
said, "was largely responsible for
the present global catastrophe.
In order to insure world peace
in the future, this war will have
to produce something different
from that of the first World
War. Predominant international
thinking is in the direction of a
world order that repudiates ra-
cist state theory. If we are to
have a lasting peace, the equal
rights of all inhabitants of every
country, regardless of race or
creed, must be insured."
Dr. John Slawson, newly elect-
ed executive vice president, indi-

cated the basic philosophy of
the American Jewish Committee
when he said: "American Jews,
like all Americans, must be glo-
bal in their outlook: they must
be neither provincial nor isola-
tionist. The American Jewish
Committee must make available
to American Jews all the back-
ground material necessary to
complete understanding of prob-
lems of particular interest to
Jews so that, both as Americans
and as Jews, they can make rea-
soned decisions based upon fact,
rather than judgments based on
emotionalism nourished on a diet
of concentrated propaganda."

To Establish Chapters

David Sher announced a change
in the corporate structure of the
American Jewish Committee, ap-
proved by the annual meeting,
which provides for a general
membership in the American Jew-
ish Committee "to all Jews who
are citizens of the United States
and who desire to aid in further-
ing the purpose and program of
the organization" and the crea-
tion of local chapters of the
American Jewish Committee in
cities and localities throughout
the country.

the public conscience in America
against the persecution and ex-
termination of Jewish men, wom-
en and children in Nazi-occupied
Europe, and in support of sus-
tained and vigorous action by
our government and the United
Nations to rescue those who may
yet be saved.
"2. To recognize and combat
hateful propaganda against
American citizens of Jewish de-
scent as a powerful secret Nazi
weapon—powerful because it has
been deliberately spread to this
continent where no Nazi invading
force has been able to set foot,
and secret because victims so in-
oculated are often unconscious of
the source from which it comes.
"3. To bring the power of
public opinion to bear in cases
where responsible officials con-
done, commit or fail to oppose
the persecution of Jews, old and
young.
"4 To cooperate with like-
minded groups in other countries
such as the 'National Commit-
tee for Rescue from the Nazi
Terror' of which the Archbishop
of Canterbury is a member, in
mobilizing the peoples of the
