QUESTION: Can Jews be charg-
ed with disloyalty because they
oppose President Truman on
partition?

TIME: Thursday evening.

lingwood avenue, used car
business, president of the Jos-
eph Bale Post, Jewish War
Veterans.
I should say not! Americans
are given the right of free speech
in our constitution. We as Jews,
like anyone
else, have the
privilege of ex-
pressing o u r
views provided
we do not ex-
ed the limits
ethics and
decency.
I think the
President act-
ed against the
will of the
people when he backed down on
partition.
If he had not reneged on his
original policy favoring a Jew-
ish State, he would not have re-
ceived such bitter criticism.

That partition of Palestine
into an Arab and a Jewish State
is already an established fact
and cannot be reversed by any
outside powers is the position
that will be maintained by I. F.
Stone, correspondent of PM, at
a meeting at 8:30 km., Wednes-
day, April 21 in the Northwest
Hebrew Congregation.
Stone, who is also Washington
editor of the Nation, smuggled
himself aboard a Jewish ship in
the Mediterranean bound for
Palestine and covered events in
Palestine just before partition
was voted by the United Na-
tions.
Sharing the platform with
him will he the Rev. Henry J.
Simpson of the Protestant Epis-
copal Church, under the aus-
pices of the ,Progressive Party,
13th' and 15th Congressional
Districts. Dr. Morris Raskin will
preside.
Admission will be 60c includ-

Sigler Accused of Breaking
His Word on FEPC Measure

Castigating Gov. Kim Sigler's
failure to request FEPC legisla-
tion at this session of the legis-
lature, the Civil Rights Con-
gress in a letter to the gov-
ernor, accused him of repeatedly
breaking promises and pledges.
"In 1946," the letter reads,
"You wholeheartedly indorsed
FEPC legislation because, in
your own words, 'Discrimination
because of race, color, creed or
national origin is Un-American.'
"You further stated: 'I will
indorse the objectives of the
Committee for a State FEPC
sponsored by the Civil Rights
Congress of Michigan.' .
"That Committee, in one of
the most dramatic campaigns
ever seen in the state, collected
200,000 signatures on petitions to
place FEPC on the ballot.
"What became of your pre-
election promises to the people?
"In 1947, during the regular
session of the state legislature.
you refused to support FEPC
legislation introduced in the
State Senate.
"In 1948 you promised to put
the issue before the special ses-

sion of the State Legislature
now meeting in Lansing. To
date you have not made a single
move in that direction.
"What happened to your
pledge?
"FEPC has always met the
determined opposition of selfish
employers who find it profitable
to discriminate. These interests
cause the initiative petition,
signed by 200,000 citizens, to be
ruled out on a technicality.
"Have you yielded to these
selfish interests?"
