Jewish State,
No Compromise,
Zionists Say
(Continued from page 1)
Such a request, the con-
ference decided, might be
interpreted by Britain as a
voluntary whittling down of
Zionist demands.
The conference approved the
five-point program recommended
by the Political Commission, pre-
sented by Dr. Abba Hillel Silver.
The five-point program, embody-
ing the essentials of the Biltmore
program adopted by American
Zionists several years ago, reads:
1. Announcement of the estab-
lishment of a Jewish state in
Palestine.
2. Vestment of the necessary
authority in the Jewish Agency
to bring into Palestine as many
Jews as it may be found neces-
sary and possible to bring in to
fully and speedily develop the
resources of the country.
3. An international loan and
other help to be given for the
transfer of the first million Jews
to Palestine and for the econ-
omic development of the country.
4. Reparations in kind from
Germany be granted to the Jew-
ish people for the upbuilding of
Palestine, and that as a first in-
stallment all German property in
Palestine be used for the settle-
ment of Jews from Europe.
5. International facilities be
provided for the transit of all
Jews wishing to settle in Pales-
tine.
The text also sets forth the
principles of the Jewish State as
follows: full equality of rights
for all inhabitants without dis-
tinction of religion and race, and
cooperation with the Arabs of
Palestine for the maximum de-
velopment of the country in the
interests of all inhabitants, and
an alliance of friendship between
the Jewish State and the Arab
peoples in the neighboring coun-
tries.
Speaking at the closing session,
Dr. Abba .Hillel Silver stressed
that the forthcoming year would
be a crucial one in Jewish his-
tory. Speaking with pride of the
fact that more than a million
Jews had fought in the Allied
armies and that tens of thousands
of Palestine Jews had joined the
British Forces and the Jewish
Brigade, Dr. Silver said "we are
fortunate in having friendly gov-
ernments — America and Eng-
land must make an all-out effort
to achieve a just solution of the
Jewish problem."
Following the defeat of a Miz-
rachi-sponsored proposal to elect
a new executive of the World
Zionist Organization, the Mizra-
chi leaders declared that they
would remain in the executive.

Berlin Jews Submit
Rio Grande Cafe Opens
List of Nazi Atrocities At 1011 Farmer St.
BERLIN (WNS) — Leaders of
the Jewish community in Berlin
submitted a memorandum to the
Allied authorities giving a sum-
mary of measures taken by the
Germans against the Jews, be-
ginning with the year 1933 when
Hitler came to power.
The memorandum was prepar-
ed at the request of the Allied
authorities who wanted an au-
thentic report on the mistreat-
ment of Jews by the Nazis. It
reveals one instance when the
Reichsvereingung of Jews in Ger-
many, central Jewish body under
the Nazi regime, successfully sa-
botaged the Gestapo orders and
prevented deportation of 2,310
Jews. It also furnishes the names
of many Jewish leaders who suf-
fered martyrdom for disobeying
Gestapo orders to submit lists of
Jews for deportation to extermin-
ation camps.
