DETROIT JEWISH CHRONICLE and The Legal Chronicle

ZIONISM

(Continued from Page 1)

rallied around him those men
whose vision • encompassed his
own ideal.
In 1897 at Basle the First
Zionist Congress was held. And
in the darkest ghettos the light
began to glimmer. From them
the first modern Jewish pioneers
went forth to establish settle-
ments in the once fertile waste-
lands of Judah's ancestral home,
Palestine—the land toward which
the dreams of their fathers had
ever turned through centuries of
wandering.
Herzl's death in 1904 left a
well-established movement to re-
alize his dream. He himself had
seen the beginning of the rebirth
of Israel as a people. As years
passed, other colonies were estab-
lished in Palestine; more of its
wastes were reclaimed. The Zion-
ist movement gathered impetus.
When the first World War broke
out, Zionist leaders were already
prepared to bring the case for
the Jewish State before the
world. Before the war ended, in
November, 1917, the British Gov-
ernment, with the endorsement of
all the Allied governments, issued
the Balfour Declaration, the
foundation stone of that Jewish
State embodies in Herzl's vision.
The Jewish people, no longer
dispersed and disorganized, were
represented in the peace negotia-
tions by recognized leaders,
through whose efforts the Balfour
Declaration was implemented by
the Mandate for Palestine estab-
lished by the Permanent Man-
dates Commission of the League
of Nations.
In June, 1922, the sympathy of
the American Government for
Jewish aspirations was formally
expressed in the Joint Resolu-
tion passed by both Houses of
Congress — completing the cycle
begun in 1897. The powerful na-
tions of the post-war world rec-
ognized the moral right of alt.
Jewish people to a national and
political life in their own home-
land.
But the Zionist Organization
was well aware that this victory
was no more than a milestone.
World Jewry must prove itself
worthy of the trust. And upi.ir.
the Jews of America fell a great
responsibility; for after the dev-
astation of the European con-
flict, they were best situated to
render to their brothers the finan-
cial and moral support necessary
for 'the rebuilding of the Jewish
Commonwealth. American Jewry
responded magnificently. Through
the intervening years the numeri-
cal strength of the Zionist Or-
ganization has increased. The set-
backs suffered in the "era of ap-
peasement"—the infamous White
Paper of 1939—have served only
to strengthen their resolve io
realize Herzl's dream.
Now, on the eve of the final
battle to defeat forever the ene-
mies of the democratic spirit,
the Jews of America must unite
behind the ZOA. We have done
well, but we must gird ourselves
for greater effort. We are free
men. In the light of that freedom,
we must free our brethren, as
only citizens of a democratic com-
monwealth can be free. We must
make the ZOA, traditional spokes-
man for the Jewish Common-
wealth, the voice of all Amen-
can Jewry—and its voice will be
heard around the world.

Japs Establish Ghetto
For Jews in Shanghai

NEW YORK (WNS). — The
Japanese authorities in Shanghai
have established a ghetto for the
Jewish refugees who found asy-
lum in the International Settle-
ment since the advent of Hitler-
ism, according to a report re-
ceived by the Hebrew Sheltering
and Immigration Aid Society
from the Lisbon headquarters of
the Hias-Ica Emigration Associ-
ation.
The report was conveyed to the
Jewish Committee in Lisbon by
the Far Eastern Jewish Central
Immigration Bureau which acted,
before the outbreak of the war,
as an affiliate of the Hias-Ica Em-
igration Association in its world-
wide emigrant aid program. Ac-
cording to tile report, 22,000
Jewish refugees in Shanghai, lit-
erally men without a country,
were ordered by the Japanese to
take up residence in a special
district of Shanghai which was
established towards the end of
1943. The authorities permitted
the IIIAS-ICA affilia to take a
census of the confined refugees
and to act as their agency for
money remittances and communi-
cations from neutral countries.
Under the arrangement all re-
lief funds, letters and cables that
are intended for the confined
refugees may be sent in care of
HIAS-ICA, in Shanghai.
