State Dept. Urged
To Help Refrieve
Jewish Property
to Regain Loot in Liberated
Areas of Europe
A program to bring about just
and speedy restitution to Jews
in the occupied countries whose
property was seized or destroyed
by the Germans was urged upon
the State Department this week
by the American Jewish Com-
mittee.
In a letter to Secretary of State
Hull, Dr. John Slawson, execu-
tive vice-president of the Amer-
ican Jewish Committee; proposed
that, "as occupation of enemy ter-
ritory proceeds, the Allied High
Command be instructed to order
the seizure of the records and
property of institutions set up by
the Germans to liquidate Jewish
property, together with the freez-
ing of their assets, the detention
and examination of their officers
and the inspection of their rec-
ords."
Pointing out that "the Nazi out-
rages against Jews have been so
enormous" that their mass loot-
in ,* of Jewish property and pos-
sessions has not received the same
prominent attention, Dr. Slawson
said that "justice and expediency
alike require" that this damage
to innocent persons be made good.

Jacob Billikopf Says Hillman
. "Grossly Misrepresented"
Editor, The Jewish News:
During the decade 1924-34 it
was my privilege to serve as
impartial chairman in the men's
clothing industry in the City of
New York; also as chairman of
their Unemployment Insurance
Fund. Thus I represented the
manufacturers, contractors and
Amalgamated Clothing Workers
of America. In that capacity, and
later as chairman of the National
Labor Board (Philadelphia re-
gion) I had intimate contacts
with Sidney Hillman. My• ad-
miration for him as a great in-_
dustrial statesman increased as
the years went by.
Not only did he succeed in res-
cuing his industry from a para-
sitic status but he and his as-
sociates eliminated from. the
union the racketeers. With the
exception of David Dubinsky,
another superb labor leader, no
orte has fought more valiantly
and successfully in purging from
his union the Communist ele-
ments.
In their autobiographies Jane
Addams and L i l l i a Wald
(founder of the famous Henry
Street Settlement) wrote with
enthusiasm regarding the ex-
traordinary services which Hill-
man rendered not only to cloth-
ing workers but tens of thou-
sands engaged in other indus-
tries. In this connection I should
like to quote from a letter re-
ceived from the late Julian W.
Mack, United States Circuit
Court judge, and one of the
ablest jurists of our generation.
Wrote Judge Mack: •
"I esteem Sidney Hillman as
the finest labor leader this coun-
try has ever had and as one of
the finest men I have ever met.
He has vision and true sense
not merely of the place of the
laborer but of that of the manu-
facturer and of the publio in
industry. He knows that without
harmonious cooperation of all the
elements industry itself will get
a setback, and if industry does
get a setback, labor as well as
employer will suffer. • While, of
course, he is most keenly inter-
ested in the working people,..he,
more than any other man I
know, succeeds in looking at the
entire situation from the other
fellow's point of view."
It is a matter of knowledge
that during the NRA days some
of the leading, automobile manu-
facturers in Detroit were pre-;
pared to unionize their plants if
only Hillman could have been
induced to head such a move-
ment, so great was their confi-
dence in his integrity • and sense
of fairness.
Whether or not one sympa-
thizes with the Political Action
Committee, whether or not one
approves of pressure-bloc meth-
ods, it is most unfortunate that
Hillman should be so grossly
misrepresented and pilloried as
a Communist.
