THE JEWISH NEWS
Bishop of London Asks Allies Mark Dr. Silver's
AssumeObligationforRetugees Fiftieth Birthday
Asylum and Sanctuary for Unfortunate Victims of Nazism
Urged in House of Lords; Viscount Samuel
Participates in Debate
LONDON (JPS-Palcor)—An asylum and a sanctuary
must be afforded to the victims of the Nazi massacres
and the allied nations must assure the neutrals that "for
every one of the Jewish race received, they would under-
take to share the cost of maintenance now and, when
the war is over, resettlement would replace them else-
where."
This statement by the Bishop
of London was one of the high-
lights of a lengthy and deeply
emotional discussion in the House
of Lords as a declaration similar
to that made in the House of
Commons was offered by the Lord
Chancellor.
After the Lord Chancellor had
concluded his reading, Lord Ad-
dison referred to the official re-
port of the Polish Government
as "an awful exposure of horror
never before issued by any gov-
ernment in the history of the
world."
Samuel Speaks for Liberals
. In the absence of Lord Crewe,
Viscount. Samuel expressed the
views of the Liberal Party as
being "in full concurrence and
gratitude at the action of the
governments participating in the
declaration relating to one of the
greatest calamities that. has ever
befallen a section of mankind. It
is not an occasion on which one
usually expresses sorrow and
sympathy for the sufferers as in
the case of a catastrophe due to
a flood or earthquake. These
dreadful events are the outcome
of cold-blooded, conscious cruelty,
only remotely paralleled by the
Armenian massacres at the order
of the Sultan Abdul Hamid which
aroused the outspoken indigna-
tion of civilized mankind. These
events are on a far vaster scale.
They help in the destruction of
the Hitler dictatorship, already
plunging to its doom.
"Will the governments of the
United Nations listen to the cries
of the people in agony and bring
them succor?" Viscount Samuel
acked.
The climax of Lord Samuel's
address evoked cheers.
For Archbishop of Canterbury
The Bishop of London said that
it was "right that a word be
spoken from these benches. Un-
Our
CHILDREN'S
CORNER
Dear Boys and Girls:
I am sure that you are all sad-
dened by the tragic news that
comes to us about the martyr-
dom of our people in Europe.
Never before in the history of
the world has there been such
brutality.
Are you asking yourselves,
like your fathers and mothers,
what we can do about it?
There is very little we can do
at the moment, except to do
everything possible to help win
the war so that there should be
an end to Nazism; and to be pre-
pared to help the unfortunate
victims with all means at our
disposal after the war.
In the meantime, it is import-
ant that we should all keep fully
informed on what is happening,
so that we should be able to deal
intelligently with the problems
that will face us. That is why
we need an intelligent and well-
informed Jewish press.
My best wishes to you all.
UNCLE DANIEL.

A New England Story •
If you are looking for a good
book, read Carolyn Sherwyn
Bailey's "Country-Stop," a Vik-
ing publication. The color illus-
trations are by Grace Paull.
The book is about children in
New Hampshire and their ac-
tivities in a farming community.
It is a typical New England story
and it is clear that the author
knows her New England com-
munities.
fortunately the Archbishop of
Canterbury was unable to be
present but I will interpret his
mind and speak on his behalf. I
deeply welcome, in the name of
Christian sentiment, the Declara-
tion made. Only a week ago the
Bishop of York made a moving
appeal for such a statement. The
Declaration was indeed speaking
for all the Allied nations con-
cerned."
The Duke of Norfolk, Parlia-
mentary Secretary for Agricul-
ture and Fisheries, speaking on
behalf of the Catholics of the
country, associated himself "most
solemnly with the Declaration,"
as cheers greeted his remarks.
Shertok Confers with British on
Refugee Problem
LONDON—M. Shertok, head of
the political department of the
Jewish Agency in Jerusalem, now
in London discussing with the
British Government plans for
saving these Jews, has stated that
there are countries from which
Jews can still escape.
He suggested that the Allied
Governments might guarantee
the cost of maintaining the es-
caping Jews to neutral govern-
ments until these people could be
accommodated elsewhere.
Palestine could take 50,000
more in a short period and ab-
sorb all of them into the economic
life of the country he said. Many
thousands more could be har-
bored there, he added.

'Council Will Call
Anti-Nazi Protest
The executive committee of the
Jewish Community Council of
Detroit on Monday evening de-
cided to sponsor a public meeting
to protest against the Nazi atroc-
ities and to mourn for the 2,000,-
000 Jewish martyrs who were
murdered in Hitler-ruled Europe.
A suggestion made to the
Council in a letter by Rabbi
Fram, that local synagogues be
called upon to conduct special
services on New Year's Day, in
conformity with President Roose-
velt's call to all religious elements
in this country, was considered
favorably by the Council.
James I. Sllmann, president of
the Council, announced that def-
inite plans for the public meeting
will be made known next week.
