NEW YORK — An ominous

place in certain pro-Communist
countries towards Zionism. The
change is noticeable in a number
of countries. but it came to the

Mr. Truman from tha t

legally. Last week the Politbu-

authority of Romania came out
with the old denunciation of Zi-

reactionary current of the Jew-
ish bourgeoisie which strives to
hinder Jews from fighting with
progressive forces against capital-
ism and their own bourgeoisie."

PRESIDENT TRUMAN will
appoint a well-known pro-Israel
sympathizer as the American
representative on the UN Con-
ciliation Committee, COngress-
man Emanuel Celler, a pillar of
the Democratic party and one of
the President's chief advisers on
Israel, said.
According to Celler, the Con-
ciliation Committee is a "victory
for Israel," and President Tru-
man will fulfill all his promises
to Israel, particularly the loan
and early recognition of the
Jewish State.

Aviv, according to the same
source.
The change of policy is due
firstly, to the pressure of the
Conservative and Liberal parties
which voiced their strong oppo-
sition to Bevin's -policy in Pales-
tine in Parliament. It is still
more to the recommendation of
Mr. Mariot, the special messen-
ger whom Bevin sent to negoti-
ate the re-opening of the pipe-
lines at Haifa.
Mariot has come back to Lon-
don with a report that there
would not be any reopening of
the pipe-lines unless Britain es-
tablishes some official representa-
tion in Israel.

FOR THE CHILDREN
THE CAUSE of the under-pri-

vileged Jewish children in Eur-
ope was d;scussed at the Wal-
dorf Astoria Hotel at a banquet
given by the Labor Zionist Com-
mittee for Relief and Rehabili-
tation in honor of Estelle M.
Sternberger, the well-known ra-
dio commentator, and an inde-
fatigable worker for the chil-
dren's division of the Committee.
James Farley, the former
chairman of the Democratic par-
ty, struck the keynote of the
evening.
"No single agency can under-
take the staggering task that
confronts humanity in the re-
habilitation of millions of human

This is the reason for the
independent existence of the
committee apart from the JDC
and other central agencies.
In the further words of Far-
ley, "We have not yet begun to
contribute privately the huge
sums that would be required to
erase the misery and chaos of a
war that ended over three years
ago," Farley said.

HEART WITH ISRAEL
BERNARD BARUCH, in an ex-

clusive interview with the Morn-
ing Journal is reported to have
said that his "heart was with Is-
rael," but that he was first and
foremost an American.
In his opinion, Israel should
not give up the Negev because
it had acquired it with blood,
and such acquisitions are not
given up.

HARMFUL CHANGE
THESE WORDS are reminis-

cent of the old pre-war propa-
ganda slogans, and the fact that
they come from the'highest Com-
munist authority augurs a
change towards the Jews which
can be only harmful.
More significant still, is the
fact that a similar trend is no-
.iceable now also in Poland and
in other pro-Communist coun-
tries, where the earlier liberality
towards Jewish immigration to
Israel is being gradually aban-
doned.
It is too early to predict, (as
professional anti-Communists are
already doing) that a policy of
persecution of Zionism is com-
ing in pro-Soviet countries; but
it does seem that the brief hon-
eymoon which existed between
Soviet Russia and Zionism and
which was based entirely on po-
litical opposition to Great Brit-
ain, is coming to an end now,
and soon the Irgunists will lose
some of their greatest support-•
ers among the Communists and
pro-Communists.

ARROGANT MONEYBAGS
FFRAIM AUERBACII, Yid-
dish poet and columnist, writ-
ing in the Morning Journal, ex-
pounded a new theory about
the recent controversy in the
UPA.
According to Auerbach, the
incident reveals the existence
of American Jewish communal
life of a group of rich, arro-
gant Jews who believe that be-
cause they happen for some
reason to he able to give a big
donation to the welfare funds,
they can and should dictate
policy to large Jewish organi-
sations and to the Jewish com-
munity as a whole.
This is not democracy, Auer-
bach says, but a certain type
of plutocracy which assumes
that the money-bag is the high-
est virtue, and because they
h.L.Id the bag, all must bow to
them.
He is displeased with the
concessions the ZOA leaders
made to the dissidents and pre-
dicts that we have not heard
the end of the story, for the

for cracking down on
"cure clainiin cigarette atis

Old Gold has been saying it a long, long time ...

A good cigarette is a treat ... not a treatment.

And there's no place in a cigarette ad for medical mumbo-jumbo.

Now comes the highly respected JOURNAL

to
take up a similar cudgel. In a forthright and
widely quoted editorial, it cites evidence that
most physibians themselves smoke cigarettes.
But it spanks the ad-makers who ballyhoo
"cure claims" in cigarette ads, or who tie •
their claims to the coattails of doctors.
To some smokers under the spell of these
claims . . . maybe Old Gold's 'd for new
friends seems tame. Old Gold r no
remedy . • . merely smoking pleasure. But a
lot of folks seem to like this approach. They

OF THE AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION

are pushing Old Gold sales up, up, up .
month after month.

With this public encouragement ... we shall
keep on reminding smokers that Old Gold
cures just one thing . . . the world's best
tobacco. And has but one aim—to give you
a more enjoyable smoke, the product of
nearly 200 years of tobacco "know-how."

Yes, to the editors of the JOURNAL OF THE
AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION • . . and

to smokers everywhere . . . we shall con-
tinue to say—

If you want alitEAT,
instead of alitEATMENT

... smite
