The report came from William Bein, Joint Distribution Committee director for Poland who had returned to the United States after 18 months in Poland. The government has been friendly, anti- Semitism is gradually receding and the remnant of Polish Jewry, 100,000 of them, has shown remarkable courage and adapt- ability, he reported. There is a large segment of the popu- lation, the aged, the ill, the incapacitated and the orphans, who still require direct relief from organizations like the JDC, however, he pointed out. A little more than a year ago, Jews by the thousands were fleeing from Poland in panic as the aftermath of the Kielce pogrom. The flight has been stemmed. Indeed, many Jews are returning to Poland to be- c4ne integrated in the Polish economy and to help rebuild the social and religious structure of the Jewish community. While we would like to see as many Jws as possible eventually make Palestine their permanent home, we must face the fact that many thousands will have to re- main in Poland and other European coun- tries. It is gratifying to know that terror and persecution have disappeared in Poland and in their place have come freedom and equal- ity of opportunity. Jews who do not wish to leave Poland or cannot emigrate to Pal- estine will find in the new Poland a chance to forget the past and build anew. Certainly, no one would have predicted a year or two ago that Poland would in so short a time provide its Jewish population with an opportunity for reconstruction and peace. DETROIT 26, MICIL for a Jewish State is defeated, American Jews will have no alternative but to blame the Truman administration for the sell-out. The JWV Volunteers Cynics kept saying that Jewish war veterans, back at their hearths and their counters, would never volunteer for an in- ternational constabulary for Palestine when faced by the challenge. To refute their words is the forthright offer of the JWV at their encampment last week to join such a force whether spon- sored by the United States or the UN. The men. in JWV fought in the last two wars to help make this a world of jus- tice and of peace. How could one imagine that such men would be deaf to the appeal of their brothers for a land of their cwn which would be a refuge and a hope? If heed be, the veterans, now men of peace, would shoulder a gun once again to assure justice and security for their hapless brethren. That was the message of the JWV. For this noble and sacrificial offer, all Jewry owes them honor. ' U.S. Pressure Needed If the UN partition plan should fail in an Assembly vote, no one would be more guilty of this new betrayal than the United States. It is well known among Washington correspondents that the State Department indorsed the majority report with great reluctance and only after the Democratic National Committee had made strong rep- resentations. I. F. Stone, keen-witted writer for P. M. in Washington, confirmed that the Mid- dle Eastern section bureaucrats in the de- partment had been openly criticising the American program before delegates from other countries and been "hinting that the U.S. will not consider a vote against par- tition or abstention from the vote at all unfriendly". This monstrous meddling by Loy Ilen- derson's minions, who have regularly fos- tered the Arab viewpoint as Bartley Crum has so well shown, may sabotage the UN- SCOP majority plan and bring about its defeat when the vote comes up. Mr. Austin and Mr. Johnson, the top American diplomats at UN, though not dominated by Henderson's henchmen, have given no real impetus to the partition rec- ommendations. As a result, even South American delegations are on the fence and nations like Cuba and Liberia, which nor- mally would never dare to disregard U.S. views, are becoming outspoken in opposition. As we pointed out last week, if enough states abstain from voting, the proposal may lose. And there is vast danger those states which do not wish to offend the U.S. openly may refrain from voting unless the U.S. makes it clear that she will consider either a negative vote or abstention an un- friendly act: If the U.S. fails to do so and the plan Lend a 'Helping Hand This is a reminder that the Red Feather drive of the Community Chest is one to which every Detroiter, of whatever belief, must subscribe.

Only when exposed did he withdraw his listing of this de- gree beside his name in the Yearbook of the Central Confer- ence of American Rabbis . . . You may also remember that for some time Schultz conducted a .column in the National Jew- ish Post and that one day Ga- briel Cohen, publisher and edi- tor of the Post, who fervently believes in full freedom of ex- pression, could no longer stand Schultz's irresponsible scrib- bling. Schultz has no compunction against using lies in his career as informer. Last year he wrote that Jews are not qualified to become officers in the Russian army, knowing full well that he was using a lie. DR. WISE COMMENTS DR. WISE, commenting on Schultz's articles, declared his statements on Rabbis and the Former Secretary of the Treasury Henry Communist line to be "not only The Accomplices Must Be Exposed mendacious but utterly and in- excusably vicious." Rabbi Louis I. Neuman, one of the most distinguished grad- uates of the Jewish Institute of Religion, wrote: "Rabbi Wise, Prof. Cronbach, Dr. Joshua Block and others mentioned in the (Schultz) article need no defense as loyal Americans .. . To those non-Jews and Jews who have been grievously wronged by Schultz in his viri- ous articles, I, as one Rabbi, wish to extend my apology for my Rabbinical colleagues, and to say we are ashamed that such a vilifier has arisen in our midst". • • • JOB CANDIDATE DR.
