invasion of the European continent, the Hebrew press in Palestine
has demanded that Jews, as such, be given an opportunity to par-
ticipate in the liberation of the oppressed peoples, among whom are
millions of Jews, according to a report reaching here this week.
The report includes summaries of leading editorials on the
subject appearing in those Hebrew dailies which speak for in-
fluential sections of the Palestine Jewish community.
The newspaper, "Haboker," conservative organ, . writes that
"now that the war is entering a new stage, as a result of the
invasion of Axis-occupied Europe, there is a task for Jewish soldiers.
There will not only be an urgent demand for more men to serve
behind the lines, but there will also be a moral need for Jewish
soldiers to be among those who will bring freedom and liberty to
occupied Europe—especially our persecuted brethern."
The newspaper of the General Zionists A, "Hazman," declares
that "the Jewish community, which has been the bearer of the
vision of independence, cannot remain neutral in this war. As long
as the enemy is not annihilated the struggle of Israel will continue.
Recruitment must go on."
The political aspect of the new developments is stressed by
"Davar," official organ of the Histadruth, Palestine Federation of
Labor. "The Political front already exists," Davar writes. "The
fact that it has maintained a political front is one of the factors
in its efforts. Because its sons and daughters have realized that they
are fighting not merely against but for something."

Maurice H. Zackheim has been
appointed chairman of the Li-
brary Board of Congregation
Shaarey Zedek. He succeeds to
this post the late David S.
Zemon.

"The Indian Jews," the cable continues, "are mostly chocolate-
skinned, like their fellow-countrymen, and show few Semitic char- ,
acteristics. Most of them are laborers and poor."

Rabbi Dubin's efforts to revive the self-respect of this Jewish
community have been strikingly successful. Frequently he conducts
joint services between Indian Jews and Jewish, American and
British soldiers.

speech demanding implicit disci-

Ben-Gurion voiced his demand

party, he insisted.
Z. Idelson, one of the leaders
