U.S. Crawling with Insidious
Anti-Semitism, Says Willkie

Calls Upon Nation to Disavow Bigotry, Persecution at
Home Which Would "Immeasurably Weaken Our
Fighting Arm"

NEW YORK, (JPS)—Declaring that "we are already
witnessing a crawling, insidious anti-Semitism in our own
country," Wendell Willkie, Republican Presidential can-
Thidate in 1940, calls upon the nation to disavow bigotry
in all its forms, for "whenever we take away the liberties
of those we hate, we are opening the way to loss of

(-;
liberty for those we love."
Mr. Wilikie's views, entitled nority groups for the war,
The Case for the Minorities," asserted that "I will go out into
appear in the June 27 issue of the hustings and fight at the bar
the Saturday Evening Post as a of justice for the rights of mi-
reply to the article on Jews by nority groups in America."

of the S.E.P. preface the article the former Supreme Court Jus-
with a note to the effect that tice and Zionist leader, were Dr.
Mayer's "article was the subject Israel Goldstein, president of the

various races and creeds, and in secretary of War Robert P. Pat-

of Mr. Mayer's discussion. Many A. Farley and Louis Segal of the
readers, however, suggested that Jewish National Workers' Alli-
the Post should ask Wendell Will- ance.
kie to write an article expressive
of the American attitude on Mi-
nority groups."

PROTECTION OF MINORITIES

Addressing himself to the gen-
eral question of the protection
of minority rights, rather than
specifically to those of Jews, Mr.
Willkie declares that the great
progress which has been achieved
by American civilization is not
due to mechanical inventions or
economic prosperity but to "free-
dom." lie said that he could
'find only disease and death in
the wailing distortion of Mr.
Milton Mayer's recent flagella-
tion of the Jews." The only rea-
son he was discussing the problem
was "to develop, by a forewarn-
ing of the consequnices, a sober
public judgment that will prevent
any tendency toward a repetition
of such national ignominies as
the Klu Klux Klan and such
calamities as the series of race
riots in our cities which grew
out of the emotionalism of the
First World War.
Under ordinary circumstances
discussion would be needless "in
our modern age, were it not for
the examples of bigotry and per-
secution we see in countries once
persurned to be enlightened; and,
even more seriously, were it not
for the fact that we are already
witnessing a crawling, insidious
anti-Semitism in our own country.

FIGHTING INTOLERANCE

"It will be well to bear in mind
continuously that we are fighting
today against intolerance and op-
pression. If we allow them to
develop at home while we are
engaging the enemy abroad, we
have immeasurably' weakened
our fighting arm."
Picturing the United States as
a partnership of diverse peoples
not having "the distractions,
under our form of government,
of continually opposing and bat-
tling one another," Mr. Willkie
said that "the height of our civ-
ilization has been reached not by
our assembly lines, our inventions
or any of our great factitious
development, but by the ability
of peoples of varying beliefs and
of different racial extractions to
live side by side here in the
United States with mutual under-
standing, respect and helpfulness.

Camp Habonim
Opens July 6

Camp Habonim, day camp of
the Jewish Community Center,
will open July 6.
Parents, who are interested in
sending their children to the
camp and who have not registered
them as yet, are urged, to do so
without delay because only a
limited number of vacancies are
still available.
Parents who are without means
of transportation for their chil-
dren to and from the Center and
who cannot use the city street
cars or buses for various reasons,
are requested to get in touch with
the camp office and find out
whether some arrangements
cannot be worked out. Many
parents of registered campers
and other civic minded people
are willing to lend a helping
hand in the matter of transporta-
tion. The camp management will
assist parents in sharing avail-
able means of transportation.
The camp accommodates boys
and girls from 5 to 14 years of
age and will be in session from
July 6 to Aug. 28, every week

Memory of
Rabbi Spatter

for Democratic Living"

High Tribute Paid to Student
of Torah, Champion of
Jewish Education

In memory of Rabbi Ralph
Spalter, who served the United
Hebrew Schools of Detroit whole-
heartedly from their beginning
until the time of his death, the
Board of Education has ordered
a resolution to be spread on the
minutes and a copy forwarded to
the family. The text is as follows:
"To walk humbly with thy God.
Micah 6.8.
"These works of the prophet
Micah truly depict the character
of our dear friend, Rabbi Ralph
Spalter, who was called to eter-
nal life on April 26, 1942.
"Rabbi Spalter was a true
nobleman, an aristocrat of the
Jewish community. Purity of
character and humbleness of
spirit were among his character-
istic features, and Torah in its
broadest sense constituted an or-
ganic part of his very life.
"To Rabbi Spalter Jewish edu-
cation was the paramount prob-
lem of Jewish life in America,
and to it he devoted very much
of his time and energy. He was
active in promoting the interests
of the Yeshivath Rabbi Yitzchak
Elchanan, the highest school of
Jewish learning in America. He
was a member of the Board of
Education of the United Hebrew
Schools of Detroit from the very
day of the founding of this sys-
tem of schools, and he contri-
buted very much to its progress
and development.
"While the main interest of
Rabbi Spalter lay in the study
of Torah and in its propagation,
he nevertheless did not lose sight
of the sufferings of his people.
During the many days of his
illness he never forgot even for
a moment the tortures and
agonies of his brethren in Eu-
rope."

NEW YORK—A new unit of the Bnai Brith Found .
tions will be established at Hunter College in the Fall i
a most unusual setting. The town house of Preside
Roosevelt, a beautiful commodious 32-room structure o
East 65th St., right in the line of student traffic, has bee
purchased from the President.

The purchase was made pos-'
sible by the collaboration of a
number of public-spirited Cath-
olic, Protestant and Jewish lead-
ers, who prevailed- upon the
President to decline other offers
for the House. He has given his
permission to have it named for
his mother, the Sara Delano
Roosevelt Memorial House.

Editor's Note: This is the "announcement of great national impor-
tance" that Dr. Sachar made in his address before the gathering of
Detroit leaders at Hotel Statler, June 11, when it was revealed that
the Mack House in Ann Arbor had been purchased as the new home
of the Bnai Brith Hillel Foundation of the University of Michigan.

Inasmuch as it is planned to
have the counselors of the New-
man Foundation, the Y.W.C.A.,
various Protestant Foundations,
and a Hillel Foundation serve the
huge student constituency at
Hunter College, as neighbors
under one roof, the House will
become a superb symbol of inter-
faith amity and a laboratory for
democratic living.
The President has evidently
been delighted at the thought
that the House, in which his
mother lived for so many years
and to which he has so much
sentimental attachment, is not to
be cut up into commercial apart-
ments. Instead, it will be perman-
ently attached to Hunter College
as a center of religious, cultural
and social activity. In a letter
to Henry Monsky, president of
Bnai Brith, he wrote, "I have a
feeling that my mother would
have been so happy in knowing
that the houses were to be used
for such a splendid purpose that
she would have wanted me to
give its spOnsors every oppor-
tunity." In a letter to Dr. A. L.
Sachar, Hillel's national director,
he wrote, "I am really thrilled
at the thought of the use of the
houses as a symbol of interfaith
amity."

WILLKIE, WAGNER, ASK
POSTWAR ADJUSTMENTS

NEW YORK, (JPS) — More
than 1,400 Jewish and Labor
leaders heard Senator Robert F.
Wagner of New York call for a
"new league of nations to pro-
mote and defend the security of
mankind," and David Ben-
Gurion, chairman of the Execu-
tive of the Jewish Agency for
Palestine, demand that "Palestine
be established as a free Jewish
Commonwealth" after the war, at
an event in honor of the New
York senator, the Founder's Din-
ner for the Louis D. Brandeis
Memorial Colony in Palestine.
The keynote messages found
echo in an address by Wendell
Willkie and in a message sent to
the dinner by President Roose-
