rector for the Council, was in-

troduced to the delegates.

given to the Council by Herman

mined not to lose the peace after
we win the war."
Dr. Walter C. Lowdermilk, As-
sistant Chief of Soil Conserva-
tion Service of the United States
Department of Agriculture and
author of "Palestine Land of
Promise," recently published by
Harper and Brothers, demon-
strated with slides the progress
made by the Jewish settlers in
Palestine. He said that "Palestine
may serve as ,a demonstration
for the whole Near East how
land may be restored" and out-
lined a project for developing
the Jordan Valley which, he said,
if carried out would enable the
absorption by Palestine of more
than four million people.
After hearing several other
speakers the conference adopted
the following resolution:
"We reaffirm our faith in the
spirit as well as in the letter of
the Balfour Declaration and ask
for a maximum Jewish immigra-
tion into Palestine and full op-
portunities for colonization and
economic development.
"We reaffirm the traditional
policy of our government and ask
• for all effective measures to the
end that Palestine may be re-
constituted by the Jewish pepole
as a free and democratic Jewish
Commonwealth.
"We urge the passage of the
Wagner-Taft - Wright - Compton
Resolution now under discussion
in committee so that these objec-
tives may be more speedily real-
ized."
Speaking at a dinner held after
the conclusion of the conference,
Vice President Wallace revealed
that Dr. Chaim Weizmann, presi-
dent of the Jewish Agency and
chemist of international repute,
had made, several important sci-
entific contributions to the Amer-
ican war effort.
"I know it from my, own defi-
nite personal experience," Mr.
Wallace declared, "that Dr. Weiz-
mann made it possible for us to
avoid very serious mistakes in
terms of the war effort" and that
"Dr. Weizmann came over to
this country because he saw us
on the point of making some
very serious mistakes with regard
to our rubber program and be-
cause he felt that oil could not
do by itself."
While emphasizing that "the
Jewish people deserve greatly"
and that the establishment of a
"Jordan Valley Authority" would
make "the desert blossom for
the interests of the common man
both Jewish and Arab," Mr. Wal-
lace made no mention of the
word Palestine. He declared that
"the Four Freedoms mean more
to the Jewish people than to any-
one else, because they began
fighting for those freedoms 3000
years ago, and have never
stopped."

Taft Opposes Delay

Senator Taft, co-author of
the Senate Palestine Resolution,
declared that there was no merit
to the claim of "some high quar-
ters" that the opening of Pal-
estine to immigration and "even
the consideration of the present
resolution by Congress, will inter-
fere with the progress of the
war, presumably by antagonizing
the Arab people." He stated that
he had been informed by "higher
sources—from one who has just
returned from Cairo and Casa-
blanca" that we "will not antag-
onize the Arab people by the
resolution" and that it would not
matter "if we do".
Senator Wagner stated that
greater need for Congressional
action was needed now than in
1922. He declared that "Europe
today is a vast graveyard" for
the Jewish people and that Jews
have a right "to ask us that they
be counted in the ranks of to-
morrow's society of free nations".
Dr. Abba Silver assailed the
protests by Arab countries and
expressed the hope that the U. S.
military authorities "will soon
find it possible, consistent with
the realities of the situation, to
withdraw their objections to the
resolution, that the Congress of
the United States may be given
an opportunity to speak its mind
on this tremendously important
question."

Lively discussion featured the
proposals on the major items, re-

delegates in these matters of pub-
lic interest, and demonstrating
again the importance of free dis-

COUNCIL

bi Frans reported that the Con-
gress is continuing to do out-
standing work in the fields of
discrimination in employment, and
legislation against anti-Semitism.
Rabbi Fram also reported for
the Community Relations Com-
mittee to the effect that the De-
troit Police Department, asking
cognizance of developments and
incidents in other cities, is pre-
paring to take measures to pre-
vent similar occurrences in De-
troit.
Dr. B. Benedict Glazer, chair-
man of the Internal Relations
Committee, reported on the work
being done by the committee to
encourage self-discipline and high
ethical practices among Jewish
groups and by individual Jews
in the community. In the discus-
sion that followed his report,
it was indicated that the com-
mittee uses only persuasion and
education as means of securing
compliance with its recommenda-
tions. Abraham Cohen, newly-
appointed internal relations di-

United Synagogue show upward
of 6,000 members participating
in these activities, while an ad-
ditional 15,00C have completed
Red Cross first aid and nutrition
courses. Three hundred member::
of the League are also serving
the Red Cross as instructors in
various branches.
From the National Federation
of Temple Sisterhoods come re-
ports that approximately 54,000
members have been enrolled in
Red Cross work. This figure not
only includes, in addition to pro-
duction, canteen and other vol-
unteer services, the members
taking first aid, nutrition and
home nursing courses. The Na-
tional Council of Jewish Juniors
reports that in most of its sec-
tions war activities, including
Red Cross work, have superseded
the more normal projects. Simi-
lar reports of cooperation with
the Red Cross have come from
others.
Insofar as men are concerned,
many of them are at present ac-
tive in helping to raise the 1944
War Fund of $200,000,000, the
minimum needed to carry on
Red Cross work during the year.
Many are also serving as instruc-
tors in first aid and other sub-
jects, they are active on stand-
ing committees of the chapters,
such as disaster relief, and in
some instances they have helped
in production of surgical dress-
ings and other supplies.

New York to study the Free
Synagogue movement, and having

many of Dr. Wise's projects.
Rabbi Fram is vice president of
the Detroit branch of the Ameri-
can Jewish Congress, one of the
institutions created by Dr. Wise,
and is the Detroit representative
