Ian SEYMOUR TILCHIN, President Vol. 50, No. 16 GEORGE WEISWASSER, Editor-in-Chief Friday, May 7, 1948 (Nissan 28, 5708) Is Trusteeship Doomed? The United States may yet shelve trus- teeship and return to its program in sup- port of partition. This is believed by some observers to be the import of the appointment of Maj. Gen. John S. llilldring, friend of Zionism, as assistant to the Secretary of State in charge of Palestine affairs. When llilldring was special adviser to Herschel Johnson, United States delegate at the fall General Assembly, he was one of the staunchest advocates of partition. Before that, he had evinced a strong sym- pathy for Jewish aspirations to Statehood. Just before the United States reversed its position two months ago and enunciated the trusteeship scheme, Gen. Ililldring re- signed from the State Department giving illness as the excuse. But Ililldring's associates said that the real reason was that he could not stomach America's about face on this moral issue. Ililldring's advent will clip the wings of one of Zionism's implacable foys, Loy Henderson, chief of the Middle Eastern di- vision who is concluding his period of tenure in Washington. Throughout the Roosevelt and .Truman administrations, Henderson effectively sabotaged American support of Zionist plans as part of his pro- British and , pro-Arab prejudices. Perhaps, the United States has turned realistic and acknowledges that partition is virtually an accomplished fact as far as the Yishuv is concerned. Trusteeship will re- quire as big an army to enforce as parti- tion. Moreover, recent events make it evi- dent that, if the UN can stop its Arab members from sending their regular armies into Palestine, llaganah and Irgun arms will soon settle the issue, and Palestine's Arabs will be forced to accept the UN's partition edict, willy-nilly. The administration reasons, perhaps, that a strong Jewish State in the Middle East that is friendly to the United States might be the better choice after all. The small nations' frank criticism oP American behavior may be playing a de- cisive part in this type of thinking. Au- stralia's resolution proposing that the UN proceed immediately with the implementa- tion of the partition plan can give the State Department a loophole in its diplomatic dilemma and permit it to return to its orig- inal position as an exponent of partition. The Jewish leadership should not let this plausible contingency pass by untested. Post-Passover Thoughts The dietary "hardships" of Passover are now part of our history. Whereas only a few years ago, Passover foods were virtual- ly limited to Matzohs, meat, eggs, fish and beet borscht, the ingenuity and enterprise of our food purveyors have supplied us with almost every product available the rest of the year. Dairy foods, once nonexistent on Pass- over in urban areas, is available in ample quantities. The skill of the food establish- ment gives us gefilte fish in jars, macaroons in tins, horse radish in bottles and kneid- lach in cans. Moreover, the products are strictly Kosher for Passover and they are culinary delights, with such famous brand names as Manischewitz, llorowitiz-Mar- gareten and Rokeach behind them. We have two suggestions to offer the manufacturers of Passover foods. One is that they give us a better egg Matzoh. This yew's' product, perhaps because of the high cost of eggs, was less tasty, less cake- like than in other years. The public, we are sure, will not begrudge paying a few cents more for the old-time egg Matzoh. The second request is that they pack- age all their cake products in some kind of a tin container that will preserve their freshness. By the time Passover sponge and honey cakes are ready to be eaten, they are hard and tasteless because they have not been adequately packaged. A flavorsome and fresh sponge or honey cake helps make Passover a more enjoy- able festival. DETROIT 26, MICH. The Yishuv Continues to Build While invasion threatens and fighting rages, the Yishuv, nevertheless, continues to build. That is .evidence of the eternal hope and faith of Israel and of the moral courage of a people on the threshold of Statehood. Dr. Israel Goldstein, national chairman of the United Palestine Appeal, reveals that despite the disorders, 88 new business enterprises were launched by Jews in re- cent months. The new firms wAl manu- facture tools of peace, shoes, textiles, lea- ther goods, bakelite ware and other prod- ucts. A new factory in a collective settlement will prepare preserves for market and an establishment in Safed will make fountain pens. The orthodox Pagi organization of Jeru- salem reports that work on its old and new enterprises has been going on at full capacity. The only exception is textile weaving which has been hampered by a lack of raw materials. Pagi's bakery and noodle plant are work- ing day and night with three full shifts and its cooperative diamond factory is con- tinuously expanding. Work is even ad- vancing on the publication of a new edi- tion of Rambam's works. • The disorders have not been allowed to interfere with the building of Pagi's new $700,000 industrial center which will manu- facture foods, textiles and paper products and house a laundry and publishing estab- lishment. This is not "business as usual". This is rather the fruition of the Yishuv's de- termination to build and create even when the bombs are falling and the bullets whine. It is a symbol of a people's deathlessness. gastottottostissostuttortsturttiontiotortrerntorntoursouratotoliquotrtmoorttittertliiontitrittor ■ dorturns Random Thoughts i•l 7 - - moninumoninummintnattoBy - Seymour Tikhin anainiumniammemonsinj TO RABBI B. BENEDICT TO IRVING SCIILUSSEL: GLAZER: I read your pamphlet Since you are president of the "A Re-evaluation of the Good- will Movement." I consider it a frank, concise and true judg- ment on the problem of anti- Semitism in this country and the methods used by our various agencies to combat it. I am particularly concerned, as you are, with the overlapping of authority and duplication of ef- forts. Isn't it high time, that the American Jewish Committee, Bnai Brith, the American Jew- ish Congress, the Jewish Labor Committee, the National Com- munity Relations Advisory Coun- cil and others worked as a unit- ed group? Isn't this one of the strongest arguments for an American Jewish Conference? Wouldn't it then be much eas- ier to unite with other non-Jew- The British Game ish liberal forces to fight for the "preservation of their rights and By NATHAN ZIPRIN liberties as free citizens of de- The disclosure that Britain was rushing mocracy?" • • The Visiting Editor reinforcements to Palestine exposes her ugly game at the grimmest moment in the history of the Holy Land. The official excuse is that the situation had "seriously deteriorated." But in the light of the recent Jewish victories it be- comes evident that what the British mean is that the situation has deteriorated for the Arabs and that they intend coming to their rescue. This was evident not only by their scan- dalous conduct at Jaffa, where they inter- fered militarily after a sweeping Jewish maneuver against a city which had been a nest of Arab sniping against Tel Aviv, but by their admitted failure to check Arab infiltration into Palestine. While the Arabs were holding the up- per hand in the first stages of the conflict, Britain sat back. Now that the Jews have effected partitiiin by blood and force, Britain suddenly discoVered that the situation has so "seriously deteriorated" as to warrant sending new troops into Palestine. If their intention to withdraw from Palestine is real, the pouring in of new troops at this time can only mean they will have more troops to remove. If the British contend that their inter- ference in Jaffa and Jerusalem was based on a desire to maintain the territorial status envisaged by the original decision of the General Assembly, then Britain must aband- on the claim of "neutrality" behind which it has sabotaged the UN solution. British intentions have been clear all along. Now the pattern is emerging for all :o behold. Britain is determined to thwart a solution of the problem because of im- perialistic interests. The tragedy of it all is that she is do- ing this with money taken from American taxpayers, tens of thousands of whom are Jews, and with the help of a diplomatically tricked and outwitted administration. Jewish National Fund here, I'd like again to bring up a matter you already know. You appar- ently have a Loy Henderson in your State Department who sees fit to ignore an important seg- ment of the Detroit Jewish com- munity, to wit, the readers of the Detroit Jewish Chronicle, 18,000 strong, who also con- tribute to the Jewish National Fund. In the past we have been ask- ed to give your organization free publicity while our competitor has been getting paid for such publicity by the insertion of ads, sometimes several of them in one issue. Is that fair? Don't you think that the Jewish National Fund is far too important a project to be made into a political football with its resulting disunity? • • * TO BARTLEY C. CRUM: We are indeed proud and happy that TO NORMA SMITH: The De- P.M. will continue to carry on troit Section of the National Council of Jewish Women was selected as the outstanding wo- men's club in the state of Michi- gan by the State Federation of Women's Clubs. It is a real honor and you as retiring president can indeed feel proud. Under your leadership and with the cooperation of the officers and members of your or- ganization, you have sponsored some of the finest projects in the community. Included among them is the 12th Street Cotincil Center, a service to foreign born, English classes for new Ameri- cans, the New American group, career group, young marrieds, a legislative program, resale shop, etc. I'd like to name you and Jose- phine Weiner as two of the most promising young women leaders in our community on a national scale. I remember when we were in Ann Arbor together not too many years ago. Both you and Josephine gave promise then of the bright accomplishments you have to your credit already. Good luck; we need you. under the ideals on which it was founded. We are confident that you and your staff will continue to fight for the great progressive traditions of American life. We who believe that American de- mocracy is worth fighting for will support you to the utmost. We urge 'our readers to become regular subscribers to your won- derful newspaper. • • • TO MAJ. GEN. JOHN S. IIILLDRING: Your appointment as assistant to the Secretary of State in charge of Palestine af- fairs is a bit of sunshine in the muddled, tragic night of fum- bling with human lives and the fate of a people. We know how vigorously you fought for partition last fall. We know why you resigned your post with the U. S. delegation shortly before the U. S. came out for a trusteeship plan. We know that your new poll will, at least in part, remov from policy making level on Palestine two outspoken oppo- nents of partition, Loy Hender- son and Dean Rusk. May God give you strength and courage. Guilty Parents Dodge Accusers (Continued from Page ment than to seek direct help for conflicted mental views. People do not blame them- selves when they become ill, however unwisely they eat or neglect their bodies. In understanding the be- havior of adults, of children, much can be done if adults real- ize they do not know the an- swers or all the answers, that they often require professional help to gain this understanding. The mental health of many parents and children would be assured if we all forgot the ugly word "blame." Remember! A four-year-old often has a stronger grip on the parental nose than his par- ents have on his hand.
