TIME: Sunday Morning.
PLACE: Dexter and Clairmount.
QUESTION:
you agree with
Kermit Roosevelt that the cre-
ation of a Jewish State in Pal-
estine will increase anti-Se-
mitism throughout the world?

ISADORE STARR, 11633 Broad-
street boulevard, attorney.
No, I do not agree. The basis
of Roosevelt's argument is that
Jews will be accused of dual al-
legiance — to
their own
country and to
Palestine. This
is false reason-
ing.
The Irish, for
example, d i d
not hesitate to
establish a
tate, and no
ne can say
that the ,Irish
outside of Ireland are therefore
poorer citizens of the land where
they happen to dwell.
Our own country is made up
of a multitude of people with
different origins. Yet none of
them can be charged with being
a poor American.
I think the establishment of
the Jewish State will decrease
anti-Semitism. It will give the
Jews prestige.

I do not agree with Kermit
Roosevelt. The creation of a
Jewish State will have the op-
osite effect. It

.ites. They are
Do loi,6ee Uefenseless.
By building a strong nation in
Palestine, Jews can add to the
betterment of the world. They
can set an example as a free-
dom-loving people and thereby
gain the respect of non-Jews.

SAM FREEDMAN, 2305 Chicago
boulevard, real estate dealer
and president of Congregation
Bnai Moshe.
I think Kermit Roosevelt is
wrong. He is under the impres-
sion that Jews will be accused
of having a
dual allegiance.
Jews have al-
ways been ex-
tremely loyal
to the country
in which they
lived, and I'ro
sure everyone
is aware of
this.
He believes
that now that
we have a State, Gentiles will
tell us to go there. Just think
what that would mean in the
United States it everyone went
back to his original country or
the country of his forefathers.
No one would be left.
