The resolution approving a
budget of $35,300,000 for the
United Palestine Appeal for
1945 carried a plea to the Unit-
ed Nations for financial assist-
ance. It was pointed out at the
conference that greater financial
resources were imperative to
meet the growing need for res-
cue, immigration and resettle-
ment.

Plight of 2 Million

Refugees Depicted

by Dr. McDonald

Palestine offers the only hope
for two million Jewish refugees
in Europe, declares Dr. James
D. McDonald, chairman of Pres-
ident Roosevelt's Advisory Com-
mitter on Political Refugees. Dr.
McDonald spoke at a rally spon-
sored by the Welfare Federation
and the United Palestine Appeal
at the Jewish Center Tuesday
evening.

"With the war in Europe
expected to end by this spring,
Dr. McDonald said, "the problem
of what to do with 30 million
war refugees in Europe con-
fronts the world. Twenty-eight
million can go back to their
homes. These will be aided by
three agencies—th e Allied gov-
ernments, th e military and
UNRRA.
"There will still be more
than one and a half to two
million refugees left. What
can be done with them?
'There are two schools of
opinion on the solution of this
problem. One group advocates
repatriation, the refugees
should go back to their former
homes. This group holds that
with treaties guaranteeing mi-
nority rights; and with an ade-
qt ate international Bill of
Rights the Jewish refugees
can go back to their homes
and live in Ti.ace and saftey.
NO FAITH IN TREATIES
"I have no faith in treaties
or Bill of Rights. Repatria-
tion is just an imaginary solu-
tion. I do not believe repat-
riation will take care of more
than a fraction of the home-
less Jews. If not repatriation,
then what else?

5,000 Jews
Left in Lodz

MOSCOW ( WNS — Approxi
mately 5,000 Jewish survivors
were found in Lodz when Rus-
sian troops occupied that city,
it was reported from Lubin.
At the same time it was dis-
closed here by E. Modzelewski,
Polish Ambassador, that about
5,000 Jews were • liberated by
the Red Army in Czenstochowa,
most of them slave laborers. The
Ambassador said that a handful
of Jews remained in Warsaw by
hiding in the ruins of the city.
He said there were few Jew-
ish survivors in the Polish cap-
ital and that, from reports in
his possession, it was evident
that the Germans in Poland
"made doubly certain that Jew-
ish children were murdered." He
revealed that east of the Vistula
river only 500 Jewish children
were found among the 20,000
adult survivors.

Hits Hush-Hush

Policy Against

Anti-Semitism

Declaring that the so-called
"hush-hush" policy of fighting
anti-Semitism has failed, Leonard
E. Golditch of New York, secre-
tary of the National Committee
to combat Anti-Semitism, urged
that both Jews and non-Jews
alike must get together and act
to erase this main weapon of
Nazism.
Golditch spoke Monday at the
Institute on the American Jew-
ish People at the First Congre-
gational Church and on Sunday
he addressed the Detroit League
to Combat anti-Semitism at the
Rose Sittig Cohen Bldg.
Golditch outlined seven meth-
ods used by various groups in
fighting anti-Semitism: The hush-
hush policy; act behind closed
doors; disregard and preterd
that anti-Semitism doesn't exist;
fight anti-Semitism through edu-
cation: police enforcement; the
Inter-Faith movement, and fin-
ally, the group which says noth-
ing can be done about anti-Semi-
tism ; that a revolution is needed
and that, meanwhile, let's sit
and wait.
The speaker stressed support
