agencies to promote spiritual and cultural activities and ideas of self
discipline integrating and coordinating the whole program with out
American democratic way of life.
"I enjoy all my activities," he said seriously. "I get a sense of
satisfaction and enjoyment from doing constructive work. The mere
knowledge of doing something to make life easier and more pleasant
for someone else is sufficient reward for doing the job.
"My life in a small town gave me a background for a demo-
cratic outlook on life," he continued. "My father was very active in
communal life. I myself worked on farms and in the lumber camps
from the time I was a boy. I learned very early to have a considerate
feeling for the economically underprivileged. I also learned," he said
with a reminiscent twinkle in his eyes, "never to underestimate my
opponent in any battle. I was always a big fellow in size and I got
into my share of fights as a result of my quick temper. If I under-
estimated my opponent, the results were usually pretty painful."
Feelings on Zionism
When asked about his feelings toward Zionism, Droock was silent
for some time. Then he spoke slowly, choosing his words with great
care.
"I believe that Palestine must be redeemed for the Jews first as a
place of refuge and secondly because it is essential for American and
world Jewry as a source of spiritual inspiration.
"I believe in an ultimate commonwealth there but I do not think
it is practical to force the issue on that question at the present time
because:
"(1) We Jews believe in democracy and it is not democratic to
insist on a commonwealth when we are in the minority.
"(2) It would be a mistake to press for a commonwealth now
because one must recognize Britain's problem with the Arab and
Moslem world, that any crisis precipitated in the Near East at this
time may arouse the Moslem world and jeopardize Britain's econ-
omic, political, and military position in the Near East which natur-
ally, since they are trying to avoid this, forces Britain to oppose this
idea of a commonwealth,
"(3) Because of Britain's interest, we are placing an obstacle
in our path for an immediate open door policy and unrestricted im-
migration which is so essential if we are to save the remnants of
European Jewry.
"(4) This war should have taught us the weakness of small na-
tions surrounded by powerful potentially enemy nations or groups.
"Therefore it is my belief that our ultimate goal should be
dominion or protectorate status so that we will have all the advan-
tages of a commonwealth with the added protection that a powerful
nation or nations could give us. This is not the strategic time to urge
such a status because of the more urgent rescue problems confront-
ing us."
(Continued from Page 1)
she
continued. "Something should
be done for them. But whatever
it is that is done must be done
quickly. Every day, fifty of them
are dying. And this," she went on
sadly, "is supposed to be a peace-
ful world in which we help the
suffering."
Mrs. Roosevelt went on to class
anti-Semitism with anti-Russian
anti-Negro, and anti-British prop-
aganda.
"Anyone who sows fear, distrust
or suspicion in our hearts toward
any nation or racial or religious
group does it great disservice to
the United States. We have no
reason to be afraid of any nation.
The other nations have far more
reason to be afraid of us. They
all know that it was our produc-
tion capacity that won the war.
We are the strongest nation in the
world. We are the richest econom-
ically and have the strongest peo-
ple.
"No one should play upon our
fears. Instead, we should recog-
nize our obligation to build peace
in the world and bring into being
the kind of a world which our
boys fought for.
"It will have to be a new kind
of a world," she went on. "And
in this world, America has a chal-
lenging role to play. We have suf-
fered. We have lost many of the
flower of our generation. But our
hardships during the war amount-
ed only to inconveniences. Our re-
strictions would have been lux-
uries to any of the conquered
countries."

BACK HOME
Droock likes to fish and hunt. He enjoys tinkering around the
house and likes to work in his garden. He reads a great deal, particu-
larly history and more particularly Jewish history, He enjoys a good
football or basketball game although he does not indulge in sports
any more himself.
"I'm past the age of playing at that sort of thing," he said
mournfully. "But my health is good. I was never sick in my life."
When aslied about his ambitions, he grew thoughtful.
"Of course I want a comfortable income for my old age," he re-
flected. "But I don't care to be rich. I would like to give all my time
to communal and civic activities. A great deal can be done to promote
harmonious relationships between political, racial, religious and social
groups. I would like to work on that a great deal more than I do and
some day," he concluded, "I believe I will."
