SMERTENKO BARRED
(In London, it was announced in
the House of Commons that Prof.
Jonah Smertenko, vice-president of
the league, will not be permitted
to enter England again because
of his recent statements concern-
ing the misconduct of British
troops In Palestine).
Gillette's proposer to Dr. Weiz-
mann asked the Congress members
to "pledge themselves to the sup-
port of those valiant patriots who
are now fighting so heroically to
drive the aggressor from their
country." It was presented to the
World Zionist Congress by Wil-
liam B. Ziff, American publisher
and author, it was jointly an-
nounced by Congressman Andrew
L. Somers of Brooklyn, co-chair-
man, Prof. Fowler Harper, vice-
chairman and Maurice Rosenblatt,
executive secretary of the Ameri-
can League for a Free Palestine.
CHARGE APPEASEMENT
Charging that the Jewish Agen-
cy and a majority of the World
Zionist Congress, by attempting to
"sanctify partition of Palestine"
and "railroad through a condem-
nation of the fighting Hebrew un-
derground are appeasing their
own pride and covering their own
mistakes at the cost of Hebrew
freedom." Somers called on the
delegates to show some "baste
political horse sense and speak up
for a Hebrew nation with a legal
Hebrew army—not as a collection
of unarmed, wordy, quarrelsome
delegates trying to dicker with the
British solely on British terms."
Somers, a veteran of 22 years'
service in the House of Repre-
sentatives, pointed out that the
program urged by Senator Gil-
lette was not a "foreign concoc-
tion, prepared by American or
English Jews for the salvation of
Palestine, but it represented non-
sectarian American support for a
program put forth by the legit-
imate spokesmen for Palestine, the
Palestinian citizens who form the
Hebrew Committee of National
Liberation."
REALISTIC PROGRAM
Harper explained that the Heb.;
rew committee's program, referred
to in the league's proposal to Dr.
Weizmann, was based on "political
realism that places the blame for
6,000,000 Hebrew dead on the fail-
ure of Zionism as much as on
