Pro-Fascists Hide Behind Anti-Communist Mask
By PHINEAS J. BIRON
HE NEW YORK PRODUCTION of the All-American
Conference Against Communism is opening next
at the La Salle Hotel, Chicago.
It is the same show that ran for a
week end at the New York Hotel
Astor under the direction (although
not the personal presence) of Mer-
win K. Hart. •
The cast will be practically the
same with the exception of the CIO
which has definitely withdrawn its
representative.
The Jewish players from the stu-
dios of the American Jewish Com-
mittee, the Anti-Defamation League,
Biron
of the Bnai Brith and the Jewish
War Veterans will be among the featured actors.
A new addition to the cast will be Rabbi Benjamin
Schultz, the executive director of the American Jewish
League Against Communism, who for some reason was
kept in the wings of the New York stage.
And Alfred Kohlberg of the Nationalist-China lobby
T
in Washington, who is doing most of the financing for
Benjamin Schultz's outfit, will make his debut as' a
delegate.
The Chicago conference is no laughing matter. It
is a pro-fascist, anti-Semitic gathering, a powerful
machine, which under the banner of anti-Communism
will consolidate the anti-Jewish and anti-Negro forces
in the Middle West.
The three Jewish organizations which are spending
annually millions of dollars ostensibly to fight anti-
Semitism are no longer worried about protests from
their respective rank and file.
They are openly collaborating with the enemies of
democracy, building for themselves a niche (so they
believe) in the coming fascist world.
We wonder what statement the Quisling leaders of
these Jewish organizations will make to explain their
unexplainable action.

THE AMERICAN PRO-FALASHA committee is in-
dignant and rightly so.
It is charging the Israel government with discrim-
inatory policy towards the Falasha Jews of Ethiopia.
News reports recently indicated that Israel and
the Jewish Agency are opposed to Falasha immigration
on the grounds that most of the Falashas are suffering
from syphilis.
The heads of the pro-Falasha movement in America
and in Europe claim that this accusation is slanderous.
While the general population of Ethiopia is suffer-
ing front a high percentage of contagious diseases, the
Falashas, because of their adherence to the religious
Jewish code of living, are physically fit and free from
any-of these diseases.
It would have been rather a simple matter for the
Jewish Agency to send a medical commission to
Ethiopia and to find out the truth.
It is tragic because the Falashas are not forced to
leave their country (there is little if any anti-Semitism
in Ethiopia) but are voluntary immigrants.
If the medical reasons given by the Jewish Agency
are not based on facts, the Israel government must
reverse its policy and open the gates of Israel to mem-
bers of the Jewish race who for centuries have main-
tained their Jewish identity. They are entitled to par-
ticipate in the ingathering of the Jewish nation.
