`White Gentiles'
Defended by Rankin
WASHINGTON (JPS) — Rep.
Rankin, (D) of Mississippi, long
a valiant defender of white su-
premacy, has entered the lists
again to lash out against the
Department of Justice for "per-
secution" of his people.
"If the Department of Justice
as now constituted is destined to
degenerate into a Gestapo for
the persecution of the white
people throughout the South, and
for the persecution of white gen-
tiles throughout the country gen-
erally, and for the stirring up of
race hatred and promoting race
strife, I must say it is well on its

Palestine Restrictions Protested

ficient land in Palestine. There is plenty of uncultivated
land. What the country needs is people to cultivate it as
well as Jewish immigration."
Offered Full Assistance to England
Reviewing the general attitude of the Palestine govern-
ment towards the Jews, Ben-Gurion said: "From the be-
ginning of the war we declared this war to be our war de-
spite the blow of the White Paper. We offered full assistance
to England, but the Chamberlain regime declined it. Then
came the land restrictions robbing us of equality before the
law, making this the only spot in the British Empire where
racial discrimination was introduced."
Ben-Gurion concluded his address with the warning that
Jews will fight the White Paper policy of the British gov-
ernment "to the very end." He expressed the hope that Jews
in the United States and other democratic countries will
lend their maximum aid to this fight.

Cites Differences
In Anti-Seinites
WASHINGTON (JPS) — Rep.
Dies of Texas, who recently de-
fended the right of a man to be
an anti-Semite, made further
remarks on the subject during

representatives expressed opposi-
tion to a bill imposing severe
penalties for hostile acts against
the United States not now provid-
ed for in civil legislation.
N.Y. Post Attacks
Welles' Defense
Of Gen. Giraud
NEW YORK (JPS) — Close
upon the heels of the issuance
by the State Department of
Undersecretary of State Welles'
letter to Baron Edouard de
Rothschild defending the action
of Gen. Giraud in abrogating
the Cremieux law, the New
York Post editorially attacked
what is called the "Legend of
Sumner Welles," in which Mr.
Welles is termed "a great liberal
in our state department."
The legend, declares the Post,
is "as full of holes as a fish net.
Take his most recent official
action as an example. It is Mr.
Welles himself who elected to
defend the action of Gen. Giraud
in repealing the Cremieux de-
cree in Algeria and thus disen-
franchising all the Jews who
were born citizens of that inte-
gral part of France.
"Nothing wrong with that,"
Welles explains. "There aren't
going to be any elections in
North Africa until after the war,
anyhow. And pretty soon now,
a procedure will be established
whereby native Algerian Jews
who desire to become citizens
may acquire citizenship."
