Friday. October 5, 1945 DETROIT JEWISH CHRONICLE and The Legal Chronicle Palestine Situation 119 Hillel Units Is Called Critical Open New Season LONDON (JTA) — Describing th e Palestine situation as "most critical," David Ben-Gurion, chair- man of the executive ' committee of the Jewish Agency, cabled to a meeting of representatives of Jewish organizations in Palestine, urging them to resist the con- tinued enforcement of the Britisli White Paper now that the war is f I e r. "While I am convinced that the quota of 1,500 immigration certificates offered by the British Government is not the last word of the English people and even of this Government, we cannot submit any longer to this cruel and humiliating treatment," Ben- Galion said, emphasizing that the White Paper is void of any mor- a l and legal validity. He said that the meeting, convoked by the Jewish National Council of Pal- estine and by the Zionist Actions Committee, should issue a call in behalf of the Jewish people de- manding that the doors of Pales- tine be opened to every Jew de- siring to immigrate there. JDC Maps Relief For Palestine Jewry At Warsaw Parley By LEON LENEMAN (JTA Correspondent) WARSAW — Plans for imme- diate relief for the Jews in Po- land last week were mapped by Joseph Schwartz, European id- rector of the Joint Distribution Committee, and leaders of the Central Committee of Polish Jews. The plans provide for relief not only for the Jewish survivors now in Poland, but also for Polish Jews who are expected to be re- patriated from Russia. They take into account that between 150,- 000 and 180,000 Polish Jews are in the Soviet Union and may soon return to Poland. Dr. Schwartz, who arrived here two days ago, also confer- red with officials of the Polish Government, and discussed Jew- ish relief problems with U.S. Am- bassador Arthur Bliss Lane. He assured the Jewish leaders at the conferenc e that the Joint Distri- bution Committee will do every- thing possible to satisfy the urg- ent needs of the Jews in Poland. It was revealed at the meeting that many of the Polish Jews in Russia are surrendering their So- viet citizenship and are re-apply- ing for their former Polish citi- zenship. The majority of Polish Jews repatriated from Russia will be settled in Lower Silesia, it was stated. At present, there are 15,000 Polish Jews living in Lower Si- lesia. All of them were liberated from Nazi camps in Poland and preferred to start life anew in th e western part of Poland rath- er than return to their former homes where their families were killed. They have taken up resi- dence in the cities of Reichebach, Swidnica, Peterswald and other Silesian towns, where some are now employed at factory work. Forty-five tons of food prod- ucts arrived last week at Gdynia destined for Jews in Poland. The transport was sent by the Jews of Sweden. El - NATIONAL STATE GENEVA (JTA) — Only a bi- national state within the frame- work of a federation which would include Syria, Lebanon and Trans- ,p,rdan, can solve the Palestine problem, the influential Journal de Geneve says in a front-page editorial. After reviewing the achieve- ments of the Jews in Palestine for the past 25 years, and criti- cizing the White Paper policy for having hindered rescue activities durin g the war, the paper says that -it is doubtful that Zionism liY itself can solve the 2,000- year-old Jewish problem. Destruc- tion of anti-Semitism and justice for all the Jewish people, it states, are bound up with the fu- ture of western civilization and are prerequisites for eventual so- lution of the Jewish problem. CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — The 23rd season since their establishment in 1923 was inaugurated this week by the Bnai Brith Hillel Foundation s in 55 full-time Foun- dations in 25 states, four Cana- dian provinces and Havana, Cu- ba, and 64 Hillel Counselorships in 28 states and the District of Columbia offering a broad pro- gram of cultural, religious, social and personal service to some 40,- 000 Jewish college men and wo- men, including large numbers of returned servicemen, at 119 col- leges and universities, according to an announcement by Dr. A. L. Sachar, national director of the Bnai Brith Hillel Foundations. These 119 Hillel units cover virtually every major college and university in 36 states and Can- ada. Three additional Founda- tions are to be announced short- ly. The Hillel Foundations are manned by full-time directors and have complete facilities, while the Hillel Counselorships are staffed by part-time directors and function with more limited facilities. Hillel began its 23rd year with seven new full-time Foundations. including one at the University of Havana, Cuba, the first in a Latin-American university, and the fourth Canadian Foundation, at the University of Saskatchew- an, Saskatoon, Canada. The other five new Foundations, which were formerly Counselorships, are at Harvard University, Mas- sachusetts Institute of Technolo- gy and Radcliffe College, all in Cambridge, Mass.; Simmons Col- lege, Boston, and the University of Arizona, at Tucson. British Troops Reach Palestine JERUSALEM (JTA) — The air-borne division of the British Eighth Army arrived in Palestine last week as the vanguard of heavy troop reinforcements the British Government is planning to send into Palestine to prevent possible disturbances there. Their arrival coincided with the return to Jerusalem from London, of Lord Gort, Palestine High Com- missioner, who has been absent several months. Meanwhile, n e w regulations aimed at the maintenance of peace and public security in Pal- estine confer more power upon the local authorities. The Jewish population in Pal- estine is amused by exaggerated reports sent from Palestine by American non-Jewish news agen- cies about tanks "rolling through the streets of Palestine cities, af- ter demonstrations by Jewish na- tionalists." The truth is that no- thing but police radio cars which have been patrolling Palestine for nine months are seen in the streets here, and the reported "demonstrations" a r e amicable joint Arab-Jewish labor gather- ;ngs in Tel Aviv and a march by several thousand bearded ortho- dox Jewish pilgrims from all parts of Palestine to the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem on Succoth carrying lulovim and ehtrogim. Jews here are also excited at the report, published last week, that Arab leaders who were ex- iled from Palestine in 1937 for inciting anti-Jewish and anti- British riots, including Jamal Ilusseini, have received British permission to proceed to an un- specified Arab country in the Middle East. These leaders, who have ben held in Rhodesia, will now be able to direct the Arabs in Palestine from nearby coun- tries, it is feared. Beth Yehudah Aux.
