Allies Must Act Now to Solve
Refugee Issue, Briton Warns

Problem Will Be 'Beyond Solution' If United Nations Do
Not Move to Restore Jews' Citizenship Rights in
Europe, Sir Herbert Emerson Writes

NEW YORK, (JTA)—The post-war refugee problem
Will be "beyond solution" if the United Nations do not see
to it that Jews in liberated Europe are fully restored to
their citizenship rights and that safety and protection of
life and property is guaranteed to them, Sir Herbert Emer-
son writes in an article in the current issue of Foreign
Affairs.
"There is grave danger of a new rush outward as
soon as the opportunity occurs—a centrifugal movement
which would go far to cancel the homing instinct of
others, and which would superimpose on the long-term
problem a new refugee problem which would make the
whole intractable and insoluble," the article said.
"It must be the business of the United Nations to see
that this does not happen. In imposing terms of peace
they must act at once to annul all discriminatory legisla-
tion and end all administrative measures of discrimin-
ation."

May Publish Anti-Semitic Propaganda Report

The planting of an Altman Grove of more
than 1,000 trees in Palestine, in recognition of
these services, is a mark of deserved respect and
esteem. We join with the many local Jewish
organizations and with hundreds of their ad-
mirers in congratulating the Altmans on the 13th
anniversary of broadcasting their Jewish radio
programs.

Rep. Jerry Voorhis of California who refused to sign
the annual report of the Dies Committee on Un-American
Activities, of which he is a member, this week acknowledg-
ed that objections to the publication by the committee of
material concerning anti-Semitic propaganda conducted
by pro-Axis organizations in America had been raised by
persons who feared that exhibits of anti-Jewish utterances
might be distorted by propagandists to indicate "Dies
Committee approval" of their contents.

We wish to express sincere thanks to hundreds
of Detroiters who have planted trees in Pales-
tine in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Altman. Appropri-
ate certificates will be issued to them. Our
sincere thanks to the following organizations for
participating in this great honor to the Altmans:

Anti-Semites In England Becoming Bold

LONDON, (JTA)—The complaint that anti-Semitic

in recent months it has received "more fanatical obscene
anti--Jewish letters" than ever before. It calls upon the
authorities to take stricter measures against anti-Semitic
groups, charging them with conducting fifth-column acti-
vities by disseminating propaganda against Jews which
is helpful to the enemy.
Switzerland To Tighten Laws Affecting Refugees
NEW YORK, (JTA)—Asserting that the laws cover-
ing refugees in Switzerland are no longer being enforced,
the Swiss Government is contemplating a drastic applica-

from Zurich and Bern.
Instead of being expelled, illegal entrants have been
interned in camps which, the Swiss authorities declare,
now contain 5,800 refugees.
U. S. Discontinues Issuance of Visas in Switzerland
