all Zionists everywhere, and par-
ticularly in free Amerka, must
expose to the public gaze the

"It is, however, well known
that Zionists are the optimists of
Jewish life. I am hopefully look-
ing forward to a conference at
which we shall hear good tidings
of justice. In the light of the
tragic news concerning the sur-
viving Jews of Europe, we have
every reason to expect the White
Paper to be repudiated."
Daniel Frisch, chairman of the
ZOA administrative council, said:
"I know that the problems
which will confront us there will
be of an historic nature. I know
that uppermost in the concern of
the average Zionist is the ques-
tion of a Jewish State in less
than all of Palestine. Historically
and instinctively I react unfavor-
ably to such a contemplated out-
come of our national yearnings
and needs. I find it difficult to

FRANKFURT (WNS) — From
LONDON (WNS)—The land-
the point of view of actual sur- slide sweep of the Labor Party
vival, the Jews of Germany fared in the English elections offers
better than those of any of the great hope for Jewish aspirations
countries occupied by the Nazis.
This is indicated in the official
report of the Intergovernmental
Committee on Refugees.
The report discloses that about
two-thirds of the estimated 650,-
000 full Jews who lived in Ger-
many, and the 75,000 who re-
sided in Austria, before the war
escaped extermination through
emigration.
It is estimated, the report says,
that 10,000 to 20,000 Jews still
live in Germany and Austria. Be-
tween 450,000 and 500,000 found
asylum elsewhere. All the others
died. From 1933 to 1941, when
Jewish emigration from the Reich
was halted, the Intergovernmen-
tal Committee estimates that
175,000 German a n d Austrian
Jews reached the United States,
100,000 went to Palestine, an-
other 100,000 were given havens
in the Latin-American repuublics
and the British dominions, 50,000
were admitted to England and
others sought refuge in Sweden,
Switzerland and France.
in Palestine. This is the view en-
tertained by Zionist leaders from
many countries gathered for the
world Zionist conference in Lon-
don.
The Zionist leaders point to
the fact that the Labor Party in
England has steadily been a
strong supporter of the Zionist
cause and at the last convention
of the party, a strongly-worded
resolution was adopted support-
ing the proposal of a Jewish state
and condemning the White Paper

tion.

the general opinion, however, that
should the Labor Party delay in
this matter, the gravity of the
situation in Palestine will be
greatly accentuated, as large seg-
ments of the Jewish population
in Palestine have long pinned
heir hopes on the British Labor
party and disillusionment now
would be a terrible blow to their
morale, as far as Palestine is
concerned.
