By Roosevelt

can Jew has had lustre added
through the - heroic feats of the
present generation," President
Roosevelt declared in a message
to the 48th national encampment
of the .U.- S. Jewish War Veterans
this- week..
The President's message, ad-
dressed to Benjamin Kaufman,
national:. commander of the J. W.
V., reads as follows: "My, greet-
ings and best wishes are extend-
ed .- to. yob. and the members of
the JeWish War Veterans of the
United States.. The record of the
Jewish War Veterans of the U. S.
on the home front since the in-
ception of the present conflict in
aiding the armed forces is known
to me. It is one of which you
may, with justice be proud."
0. K. Conference Decisions
Unrestricted immigration to
Palestine and abandonment of
the White Paper was demanded
in resolutions adopted by the
national convention.
The convention recommended
an, international police force in
the post-war - era, an interna-
tional court and a tribunal to
punish Axis leaders.

Jewish Conference were ap-
proved by the Veterans' conven-

Tragedy in Balkans
Mr. Zen Zvi, who recently re-

the latest developments in the
"tragic agony" of Jewry in Axis-, -
occupied territories. He stressed
particularly the "appalling posi-
tion" of Jews in the Balkans. He
said that only 300,000 Jews sur-
vive in Rumania, whose prewar
population included 800,000 Jews.
• Of the survivors, 70,000 had been
deported to Transnistria.
Mr. Shertok pointed out tha
possibilities for rescue exist. H
said that contacts had been es
tablished with 12 countries with
a view to facilitating rescue at-
tempts and that ."unflagging ef-
.forts" continue to be made on be-
..lhalf of the persecuted Jews."
$200,000 Labor Quota
Mrs. Meyerson, speaking on be-
. half of the Histadruth, said that
"in view of outside indifference,
the pivot of the question of res-
cue reposes among ourselves. We
must not slow our efforts as
long as something remains to be
done." She pointed out that the
labor community "has already Roosevelt Gets Award
contributed and will continue to From Education League

"This Is the Army" in Quebec
During the Quebec conference,
the American delegation wished
to reciprocate in part the hospi-
tality of the Canadians. Some-
one had the bright thought that
a showing of "This Is the Army"
would be an agreeable gesture.
But not a print was to be had in
the Dominion. S. 0. S. flashed to
the California studio . . . an ex-
press plane shot the film to
Washington . . . a U. S. bomber
carried it to Quebec. It arrived
20 minutes before curtain time.
