17,000,000 Must Be
Right

Labor Day observances, 1946
model, were weighted with a new
and solemn significance. Here,
again, as with other memorials to
American achievement, the influ-
ence of the veteran is evident.
Each former serviceman return-
ing to the ranks of business or
industry has an important stake
in the future of labor. It is no
less substantial whether he is boss
or hired man. In American life,
one hand rubs the other to gen-
erate the warmth of prosperity.
We who have been in military
service have tasted labor without
equitable rights. The ex-GI can
define "Regimentation" and "au-
thority" from practical experience.
We did not like either in uniform
but we yielded willingly to mili-
tary necessity.
Veterans will not tolerate any
form of oppression in civilian life.
We will not submit to regimenta-
tion by false leaders, who pretend
friendship to labor for personal or
political gain. Nor will we let
ourselves be ruled by self-seekers
hoping to exploit workers in the
name of management.
Today, labor unions exert a
powerful influence upon govern-
ment and national economy. 17,-
000,000 veterans, as members of
veterans' organizations, labor
unions, or both, make up a strong
force in American political life.
With this strength conies grave
responsibilities.
The veteran who belongs to a
union will guard against abuses
of his powers as ardently as he
will protect and advance hard-
won gains of organized labor. He,
along with his non-veteran fellow
workers, will fight to preserve our
democratic form of government
and American way of life.
Economic freedom and full em-
ployment—the chief trade union
objectives—means equal opportun-
ity for all who offer an honest
day's work for an honest day's
pay. The working veterans will
permit no discrimination because
of any man's color, religion or
national origin. He will insist on
equality for all in education as
well as in employment. He will re-
ject fascism, Nazi, Communist and
other totalitarian philosophies. He
will contribute to the structure
of world peace by actively pro-
moting harmony and cooperation
at home.
Honest leaders of labor and in-
dustry will gain support from the
veteran in defending the consti-
tutional rights of all Americans.
The zeal of American ex-service-
men will make certain that "gov-
ernment of the people, by the
people and for the people will
not perish."
The Department of Michigan,
Jewish War Veterans of the
United States, are one of the au-
thorized veteran organizations per-
mitted to aid former enlisted men
fill out applications for "Terminal
Leave Pay." The Department Of-
fices are located at 8212 Twelfth
street, near Seward, and will be
open from 7 to 9 p. m., from Mon-
day through Thursday, to aid any
veteran, regardless of race, color
or creed.

tions. Leave is earned at the rate

Hadassah Hospital
Enables Refugees
To Enter Athlit

NEW YORK —The disembarka-
tion of Jewish refugees from some
of the vessels in Haifa harbor
was made conditional by the Bri-
tish authorities on the establish-
ment of a 60-bed hospital in the
Athlit detention camp, near the
port, it was disclosed recently in
a cable from Palestine to Hadas.
ash, the Women's Zionist Organ-
ization of America.
Tile cable, sent by Dr. Haim
Yassky, director of the Hadassah
Medical Organization, to Mrs. A.
P. Schoolman, chairman of the
Palestine Committee on Hadassah,
said that within 24 hours the hos-
pital, with full equipment and
nersonnel, was set up and opened.
The refugees, the cable revealed.
had threatened a hunger 'strike if
barred from landing.
"All during the night, medical
personnel of the Immigrant Medi-
cal Service, which is directed by
Hadassah in cooperation with the
Jewish Agency and the Vaad
Leumi, worked to organize and
staff the hospital and an out-pa-
tient clinic," Mrs. Schoolman re-
ported. She said that Hadassah
supplied the beds out of a reserve
that had been created at the out-
break of the war and kept in
Haifa for emergencies. Doctors
and nurses were assembled from
Hadassah institutions and sent to
the new hospital. A number of
midwives were also assigned to
Athlit to take care of "the high
percentage of pregnant women
among thb refugees." Bedding,
linen, medical equipment; instru-
ments and medicine were pre-
pared and shipped in the early
morning hours, and by the time
the immigrants began to reach
the camp, all was in readiness.

Arabs Arc Joining
Jews in Palestine
Fight, Selden Says

Arabs are fighting with the He-
brew resistance forces in Pales-
tine today, and more Arabs will
join them in the event of open
warfare with the British.
This was disclosed by Harry L.
Selden, co-chairman of the Amer-
ican League just returned from
Palestine. Mr. Selden accompa-
nied Senator Gillette on his mis-
sion of inquiry, but returned later
due to a delay in obtaining plane
passage.
Mr. Selden's disclosure con-
firms reports received last week
that two Arabs had been arrested
for participation in the bombing
of the King David Hotel, British
military headquarters in Pales-
tine.
"Palestine Arabs already are ac-
tive in the anti-British under-
ground," he said. "They are malt-
ing common cause with the He-
brews, not only because they be-
lieve they can better themselves
by opposing the British and the
rich local effendi, but because
they are developing a growing ad.
miration for Hebrew armed power
and realization of its possibilities
in freeing their country. Typical
is a rumor which has spread
through the backward Arab world
to the effect that the Hebrew un-
derground has an atomic bomb."

EXECUTIVE ADJOURNS
PARIS, (JTA) — The extra-
ordinary session of the executive
of the Jewish Agency, which has
been in session here for three
weeks, adjourned this week.

Application for Terminal Leave
must be made not later than Sep-
tember 1, 1916. Settlement will be
made entirely in cash when the
amount due is less than $50 or

discharged prior to January 1,
1913. In all other cases, settle-
ment will be made in U. S. Bonds,
in multiples of $25, and in cash
to the extent of the full amount
of any difference. These Bonds
will be dated on the first day of
the month following discharge and
will mature five years from such
date. The Bonds will bear inter-
est at the rate of 2', 4 2% per [mom,
which will be paid at maturity.
The Bonds are non-negotiable.
However, such Bonds may be used
for payment of premiums for re-
conversion fees in connection with
National Service Life Insurance.
The Department will be span-
soi-s for a Jewish War Veterans
Post being formed in Palestine.
There are a number of United
States citizens who served In
World War II and who are now
liVing in Palestine, and have obli-
gated themselves to remain there

ther the development of the Jew-
ish Homeland.
