We dare not rest until the White Pa- per is scrapped. "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 place myself in a position where I would be willing to append my vote to the liquidation-of even a small portion of what we consid- er to be rightfully ours. 0 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 restrictions on Jewish immigra- tion.

Of these, the majority were deport- ed to Poland and few, if any, are alive. Most of the others were sent to the Theresienstadt camp, where a comparatively few sur- "I also know that there are vived.

It is 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. Reports from the various con- stituencies indicate that over 20 Jewish Laborites, including seve- ral Zionists, have been elected to Commons. Among the successful candidates are Barnett Janner. vice-president of the British Zion- ist Federation; Samuel S.
