Eleanor Roosevelt Deplores Suffering Of Jews; Asks Help' (Continued from Page 9) 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." BUY VICTORY BONDS HELP BRING THE BOYS 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."
