Gov. Deft

■

On October 22, 1948 in reply to a letter from
Dean Alfange, Chairman of the American
Christian Palestine Committee of New York

Sdisdcd "...I have always felt the Jewish People are
entitled to a homeland in Palestine which would be politically and
economically stable: My views ha ve been clearly expressed over
the years and I did, indeed, appr4 Dve the majority report of the
United Nations Special Committee which recommended a partition
of Palestine.
In my acceptance speech at Philo Idelphia, I pledged my whole-
hearted support of the Republican Platform and that certainly in-
eluded the Palestine Plank. My p o sition today is the same."

When people thir 1k of Governor Dewey, they

are likely to think first of the position he has

taken on such is( su es as national defense, farm

prices, taxes, or fc reign affairs. Too few under-

stand the man him self in terms of those human

and humanitarian Iterests which, as a matter of

fact, color everyth ling he does. For deep down

in the basic make -up of this man is an honest

passion for simple justice—a decent opportun-

ity for everyone, in every department of life

and in every part of the world.

There is - no need to cite i ► t

detail all the public posi-
