All United Nations Governments Represented at Huge
Demonstration in London Secretary of State Hull
Pledges Post-War Equality

LONDON (JPS-Palcor)—In an extraordinary dem-
onstration at Albert Hall here in which Catholics and
;Protestants, headed by Prime Minister Winston Churchill
;and the Archbishop of Canterbury, joined with Jews to
protest against the atrocities committed by the Nazis
against the Jews of Europe, indignation also was ex-
. pressed against "the silence" of

. the general press in failing to
report the barbarity of the Nazis
against the Jews.
All the speakers from the
Archbishop to the Polish Prime
Minister, General Sikorski, ern-
phasized that the postwar world
;must provide • security for the
rights of Jews if . peace is to be
established on sound foundations.
Chief Rabbi Hertz praised Pres-
ident Roosevelt's "Four Free-
dom," but said that a fifth free-
: dom._ will be necessary for the
Jews of Europe, and that is the
.right "to live."
Many Notables Present
The demonstration was organ-
ized by the Board of Jewish Dep-
uties. The Archbishop of Canter-
'bury presided. Practically all the
governments of the United Na-
tions represented at Londan were
on the platform. Among those
present were Lord Chancellor
and Lady Simon. Greetings and
expressions of sympathy for the
purposes of the meeting were re-
,ceived from influential personal-
ities in Great Britain and other
.countries, including Dr. Eduard
Benes, Emperor Haile Selassie
and President Fulgencio Batista
of Cuba.

,,

The British Prime Minister
held out the hope that "when
this world struggle ends with the
enthronement of human rights,
racial persecution will be ended."
The Archbishop of Canterbury
said: "I cannot refrain from join-
ing with the audience assembled
here to protest against the Nazi
atrocities inflicted on the Jews. I
want also to extend assurances of
my warm sympathy with the ob-
jects of this meeting. The sys-
tematic cruelties to which the
Jewish people—men, women and
children — have been exposed
under the Nazi regime, are
among the most terrible events
of history and have placed an
indelible strain upon all those
who perpetrate and instigate
them. When this world struggle
ends with the enthronement of
human rights, racial persecution
will be ended."

Horror Beggars Imagination
He declared that what the
Nazis have perpetrated in Europe
constitutes "such an eruption of
evil as the world has not seen
for centuries. It is so horrible
that the imagination refuses to
picture it. The sufferings of 1914-
18 and of much of the period be-
tween the two wars led to a hard-
ening of hearts." Turning to the
events of more recent times, he
declared that "the drain upon
sympathy began to be unbear-
able. We are in danger of becom-
ing morally numb."
He confessed that what was
happening is not really under-
stood by the average Britisher
and, therefore, "it is difficult for
him to feel the horror appropri-
ate to the facts."
Cecil, Masaryk, Sikorski
Among the other speakers were
Viscount Cecil, Jan Masaryk and
Polish Premier General Wladys-
law Sikorski. General Sikorski,
speaking in Polish, which was
subsequently translated, gave the
assurance: "I warn the German
torturers that they will not
escape retribution for all the
crimes they have committed. As
head of the Polish Government I
assure the Polish Jews that they
will benefit fully from the bless-
ing of the victory of the United
Nations in common and on equal
with all Polish citizens."

Fifth Freedom Needed
"Anti-Semitism in all forms,"
he declared, "is an abomination
and an outrage against the sanc-
tity of law, which is the precious
gift of Israel to modern Christen-
dom."
The only two Jewish speakers
were Chief Rabbi Hertz and Pro-
fessor Selig Brodetsky, president
of the Board of Deputies. Dr.
Hertz thanked the previous
speakers for courageously criti-
cizing the silence in the general
press regarding the anti-Jewish
atrocities. He cited facts to show
how the dreadful deeds have
been ignored.

Hull Reiterates Sympathy
of U.S. in Zion Rebuilding

WASHINGTON, D. C.—Secre-
tary of State Cordell E. Hull, in
a statement reiterating the sym-
pathy of the American people
with the efforts of American
Jewry for the rebuilding of Pal-
etsine, last Friday, gave assur-
ance that after the victory of the
United Nations the Jewish people
will enjoy "equality and justice",
and that "under the terms of the
Atlantic Charter the United Na-
tions will be prepared not only
to redeem their hopes of a fu-
ture world based upon freedom,
equality and justice, but to create
a world in which such a tragedy
will not again occur.".
The Secretary ,of State made
this statement to a delegation of
leading American rabbis, repre-
senting Orthodox, Conservative
and Reform sections of American
Jewry, in connection with the
25th anniversary of the Balfour
Declaration.
All World Must Be Free
Secretary Hull declared that
"the Balfour Declaration has
aroused wide attention in the
United States and that this coun-
•try has followed with interest
and sympathy the work which
has been done under it, in which
American citizens have played
a useful part.
"The Jews have long sought a
refuge," he continued. "I believe
that we must have an even wider
objective; we must have a world
in which Jews, like every other
race, are free to abide in peace
and in honor." "We meet today,"
said Secretary Hull, "when the
battle for freedom is being car-
ried on in the , East and in the
West and our every effort is con-
centrated on a successful issue.
We can with confidence look for-
ward to the victory when liberty
shall life the scourge of persecu-
tion and the might of the United
Nations free mankind from the
threat of oppression."

Schumer
commission's
program of picking apples and
relieving the farm labor short-
age. The pay 'received for this
work will be contributed to the
Jewish National Fund.
Communal luncheons, discus-
sion meetings, student panels and
other events are planned by Av-
ukah. Contacts are made with
members of the faculty whom
Avukah interests in Zionist and
Jewish affairs and whose aid is
enlisted in the program of Pales-
tine's reconstruction.
Avukah also participates in
Jewish National Fund work. Last
year the students contributed
$100 to the land-redemption
agency of the Zionist movement.
This year they hope to double
this sum.
Under the auspices of Avukah,
the Ann Arbor Jewish Sunday
School is being sponsored for the
third consecutive year.
This Saturday night, Wayne
and U. of M. Avukah chapters
will have a joint rally in Ann
Arbor, after the Michigan-Har-
vard game.

Retired Rabbi Sharply Criticizes Dr. Magnes' Plan for Jew-
ish-Arab State; Lists Four Objectives Sought of
World by Israel

NEW YORK (JPS)—Dr. Samuel Schulman, rabbi
emeritus of Temple Emanuel-El, suggests to Zionists that
when the Jews become a majority in Palestine the country
will not be called a Jewish State but will be named Herzlia,
or Ziona, and tells non-Zionists that they "cannot object to
the organization of a community of Jews in the Holy Land

in accordance with the political
conditions which may confront
them."
Once a vigorous anti-Zionist
and, now, a non-Zionist, Rabbi
Schulman makes his suggestions
in an article entitled, "A Basis
for Union in Israel," in the cur-
rent issue of the Contemporary
Jewish Record, issued by the
American Jewish Committee. His
aim is to offer a basis of under-
standing between what he calls
"the Universalists" and "the Na-
tionalists."
Interprets Real Mission
The retired spiritual leader of
Temple Emanu-El sharply criti-
cizes Dr. Judah L. Magnes, once
a rabbi at Emanu-El and now
president of the Hebrew Univer-
sity, for his present political ac-
tivities.
"I object," he says, "to the new
mission which Dr. Magnes seems
to have discovered for Israel in
the world, the mission of inte-
grating itself together with the
Arabs into the Semitic world.
Aside from the fact that it is
certainly uncalled for to ask Is-
rael of the whole world to foster
the work of such integration, I
deny such a mission. The real
mission of Israel is to witness to
God in its own way and by its
own life all over the world."
Espousing the right of Jews in
Palestine to create a .State, Dr.
Schulman says: "There is no more
contradiction of Israel's universal
character as a Church for a sec-
tion of it to create a state than
there is of the universal character
of the Catholic Church or Pro-

What Israel Asks
Israel asks four things from
the world, Rabbi Schulman de-
clares: Recognition as a great
spiritual community; establish-
ment of the "Four Freedoms"
and all other indispensable free-
doms for the human spirit in all
lands; the keeping of the promise
made to a section of Israel, td
the Zionists; and recognition of
the fact that Jewish salvation is
fundamentally bound up with the
salvation of the world.
