Anent the rabbinical anti-
Zionist Quislings who are threat-
ening a rift in American Jewry
by, against all historical evi-
dences, our racial origin and our
national aspirations for a home-
land there is only one quotation
that thoroughly fits thein. I quote
Isaiah 47,17: "Thy destroyers and
they that made Thee waste shall
go forth from Thee."
Now, in this crucial moment
when Jewry is striving with ti-
tanic strength to save the rem-

and lay waste the toil of half a
century in the rebuilding of our
national homeland and the fabric
of the entire Jewish culture, past
and future.
Isaiah was right. Not alone in
this century, but in centuries
past, have similar phenomena of
senseless opposition arisen.
Yet, I console myself in the
hope that history has not spoken
in vain, that our national aspira-
tions cannot be silenced and sub-
dued by a few self-constithted
spokesmen, who do not represent
the Jewish people as a whole—a
misguided minority that speaks
only for itself.
"Think not with thyself that
though shalt escape . • . more
than all the Jews .. . relief and
deliverance will arise to the Jews
from another place."
N. E. ARONSTAM, M. D.

as well as the States, was adopted at the close of the Am-
erican Institute on Judaism and a Just and Enduring
Peace, which convened at the Hebrew Union - College,

December 21 to 24, and brought
together leading rabbis and lay-
men at the invitation of the Corn-
mission on Justice and Peace of
the Central Conference of Amer..
ican Rabbis. The statement of
principles was intended to par-
allel for Jews the pronounce-
ment on peace adopted by the
English Protestants at Malvern,
the American Protestants at Del-
aware, Ohio, and the American
Catholics at Washington.
Religion Is Foundation
The six-point statement offered
an outline for the religious, in-
terfaith, political, economic and
racial bases of a just and endur-
ing peace and concluded with a
definition of Jewish postwar re-
construction aims. The preamble
to the statement declares, in part,
that "in order to rebuild our
broken civilization the spiritual
teachings of religion must become
the foundation of the new world
order and the dynamic force in a
just and enduring peace." A sum-
mary is then provided of "Israel's
historic teachings," which state
that:
2 (1) "International justice is
of the very essence of the ethi-
cal doctrines of Judaism;" (2)
"Judaism recognizes no inherent
national or racial superiorities;"
(3) Judaism teaches that national
soverignty must be subordinate
to the higher moral law of God;"
(4) "Judaism has always urged
. • . a permanent international
society, the members of which
will covenant to observe the mor-
al law of God;" (5) Judaism pro-
claims "the ideal of . universal
disarmament;" (6) "Judaism
maintains that no just and en-
during peace is possible unless it
is founded upon full political,
economic and social rights for
men everywhere" and (7) "be-
lieves that a lasting peace can
come only with reconciliation.
It seeks the destruction of evil
rather than of the evil-doer."
The statement concludes (8) that
"despite the complexities and
difficulties of building world
peace, Judaism . . . believes con-

fidently in the perfectability of
man and in the moral progress of
mankind."

Absorptive Capacity Proved
An important statement on
Palestine, incorporated in the
adopted program, reads as fol-
lows:
"All Jews are bound by spirit-
ual and historic ties to the Holy
Land. Since the issuance of the
_Balfour Declaration a tremend-
ous impetus has been given to
successful Jewish settlembent in
Palestine. Since the advent of
the Nazi regime there have been
some years in which immigra-
tion increased to such a degree
as to prove the extraordinary ab-
sorptive capacity of Palestine.
"After the war, conditions
must be created to permit as
large a Jewish immigration to
Palestine as possible, in accord-
ance with obligations assumed
under the Balfour Declaration
and the Palestine mandate. Now,
more than ever, the nations of
the .world must give fullest rec-
ognition to the right of Jews to
a homeland in Palestine, and
they must help facilitate in every
way the work of rebuilding that
land."
