Chief of Chaplains Carries an Esrog HONOLULU—A charming ex- pression of Christian-Jewish co- operation was disclosed here in connection with the JWB-directed Succoth celebration in Hawaii. Major Gen. Luther Miller, ar- my chief of chaplains, was about to take off from San Francisco for an inspection tour of the Ha- waiian area. Learning of an emergency re- quisition from Rabbi Emanuel Kumin, JWB representative in Hawaii, for air express delivery of an Esrog and Lulav—symbols of the Succoth feast—Gen. Miller arranged for the Jewish religious items to be added to his personal baggage—and thus receive special handling as the property of a VIP (Very Important Person).

Friday, November 11, 1948 DETROIT JEWISH CHRONICLE Page Sixteen Direct Talks Only Way to Settle Israeli War as UN Attempts Fail By WILLIAM ZUKERMAN (Jewish World News Service) NEW YORK — Israel has ad- vanced nearer to peace than at any time since the proclama- tion of the Jewish State. There were numerous portents of this in speeches by top Israeli leaders in this country, Paris and Tel Aviv and in reports of secret discussions at the UN. But more important than these was the growing conviction that peace would come not through the UN. but by direct negotiations be- tween Arabs and Israelis. • • • LACKS TIIE POWER EVER since the tragic assassi- nation of Count Bernadotte, it has become more and more evident that the United Nations is not the proper agency for settling the Palestine issue. True, it is the most effec- tive tribunal for the expression of international public opinion, but it is only that and nothing more for the time being. It has not the facilities and power for implementing its own decisions and it can exert only moral force which, although not to be ignored or underestimated, is however, not sufficient for settling complicated issues such as that of Palestine. Probably the prestige of the late mediator might have accom- plished something more substan- tial, but with his death, that hope has gone and the settlement of this problem, as of a good many other international problems, has to be accomplished outside the UN. • • • POWER POLITICS THIS BECAME obvious after the Security Council had adopted the British-Chinese resolution to use sanctions against Israel in case its army did not give up its hard won new positions in the Negev and Galilee. This resolution, and especially its support by the American del- egation, has served to crystallize opinion against the UN as an effective agency for settling this controversy. For an organization whose chief and only power is moral, to vote the use of sanctions against Israel, while ignoring the six months aggression and invasion of Palestine by the armies of sev- en Arab states, showed that it was not only militarily power- less, but also demoralized by power politics and was lacking the necessary prestige to bring a settlement. The initiative passed from the UN to the parties directly con- cerned in the problem and this, more than anything else, advanc- ed the prospects of peace.

TY. 4-9005 WHILE THE ISRAELI ARMY and government arc fighting in the Negev and in the United Nations for a just and liberal settlement which would bring peace in Israel and the middle- east, extremist Jewish elements in and outside Israel are doing their best to make the fight more difficult and peace further away. The Irgunists and Sternists are, fortunately, suppressed for the time being.' But other ele- ments are arising to take their places in the field of politics and hate.propaganda, if not in acts of violence. One such attempt is doubtless the new propaganda campaign launched in this coun- try with the arrival of ;my. Moshe Sneh. Dr. Sneh is a well-known and responsible political leader of Israel, a man who has greatly contributed to the success of one of the epics of the post war pe- riod—the organization of the so- called "illegal" immigration in- to Palestine. But Dr. Sneh has now, for po- litical reasons, joined hands with extremist groups in Israel which have made a hate-campaign against England and an aggres- sive chauvinistic expansionism the chief planks of their pro- Soprano. Brandeis President gram. These groups go under various names and range from the Irgunists to the Communists. Dr. Sneh has come here with a mission to extend his party's campaign to American Jewry and to obtain financial and po- litical aid for it. • • • PRO-SOVIET LINK DR. SNEWS PARTY is the "Mapam". It is a party with a fine record of labor achieve- ments in Israel. but at the pres- ent moment the chief plank of that party is a pro-Soviet orien- tation for Israel and it is con- ducting, in. partnership with the Commur,',sts, one of the most poisonous campaigns against England, which has on previous occasions led to terror and po- litical demoralization in Israel and to the undermining of the position of the half a million Jews in Great Britain. This writer does not know enough about internal affairs in Israel to judge whether Dr. Sneh and his party are correct in counseling their policy for Israel at the present moment. I am willing to concede that Dr. Sneh knows the situation better than we do and is probably cor- rect in his politics. • • • NOT U. S. PROBLEM BUT WHAT HAS this strictly local Israeli party struggle to do with the United States and with American Jews? It has been pro- claimed by Dr. Emanuel Neu- mann, ittblai Silver, Rabbi Ste- phen Wise, Mr. Proskauer and other leaders of Jewry that Is- raeli internal politics and Amer- ican politics are not to mix. We are friends of the Israelis and want to help them in their economic, industrial problems. Why should these people try to involve us in their own petty, or big political squabbles which are thousands of miles away from us? Are we not absorbed enough with Israel as it is, to be drag- ged into more internal petty squabbles between their parties? MOE R. MILLER, above, is president of the Louis D. Bran- deis Lodge, Bnai Brith, which responded to Jewish Chronicle support to the Aid to Israel campaign by signing up all its members as Chronicle subscrib- ers. The lodge also has turned over $3,800 to the drive for the purchase of two trucks.
