a lder CLIFTON AVENUE - CINCINNATI 20, 01110 Page 3 DETROIT JEWISH CHRONICLE Thursday, May 4, 1950 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 • The cast will be practically the same with the exception of the CIO which has definitely withdrawn its representative.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.
