Paper.
"The Jewish problem is- a
Christian problem because the
persecUtion of the Jews is tak-
ing place in Christian countries
at the hands of Christians," Dr.
Voss said:
Condemns Restrictions
Asserting that Palestine is the
second country in the world
where anti - Jewish discrimina-
tion has been legalized — Ger-
many being the first country in
which such laws have been en-
forced — Dr. Voss charged that
the White Paper containing re-
strictions on Jewish immigration
and the purchase of land by
Jews was the result of Brit-
ish appeasement policies. He
charged that such an appease-
ment policy in the Middle East
has now been adopted by our
own government as a result of
the issues stemming from the
deals involved in the oil pipeline
to Cairo.
Declaring that the cause of
Zionism which seeks to create a
Jewish homeland is just, Dr.
VQ8S stated that the aims of the
Christian Council on PaleStine
and the American Palestine
Committee are to bring out this
case for justice more clearly and

denined the "report" on Pales-
tine in the current issue of
Reader's Digest as based on
misinformation and untruthi.
Dealing with all points in that
article, Dr. Voss showed how
it misrepresents the issue and
ignores historic facts that Jews
had made great contributions
for the upbuilding of the land.
Judge Frank A. Picard of the
U. S. District Court, chairman of
the Michigan Chapter of the
American Palestine Committee,
who presided at the meeting,
called attention to the fact that
the White Paper has been put
into force necessitating the con-

"Address Unknown" . . fin-
ished at last . . . is thought-pro-
voking screen fare. Based on a
series of letters, it had to be
padded here and there to fill out
the story line. Paul Lukas this
time plays the Nazi . and su-
perbly. Morris Carnovsky, from
the New York Group Theater,
portrays the Jewish art dealer
in so dignified and intelligent a
manner as to make Jews proud
that he represents :them. Though
the theme may seem a little
dated in the light of events, its
psychological characteri z a t i o n
makes it worthwhile.
