Jewish Problem in Europe", Brewster Declares; Dr.
Wise Sees Hearing • at Conclave
•

His Service to Profession and
Community Viewed;
NEW YORK, (JTA)—A demand that the United States
Captain in Last War

conference at San Francisco consider the., fate of mandated
territories—and specifically the fate of Palestine—was made
here by Sen. Ralph 0. Brewster of Maine, addressing a
dinner sponsored by the New Zionist Organization to mark
the 30th anniversary of the Jewish Legion, which fought for
Britain in World War I.

Declaring that he favored th
creation of a Jewish state in
Palestine, Senator Brewster said:
"The Jews have paid a terrible
price for the existence of an un-
solved Jewish problem in Eu-
rope," he said. "But we too, we
Christians, have paid heavily for
not having solved in good time,
radically and adequately, the
Jewish problem of Europe.
"The Palestine issue not only
affects the question of an equit-
able peace; but touches on the
future of mandated territories. It
will have to be one of the tasks
of the coming San Francisco
Conference to consiTer and de-
cide, unencumbered by, previous
_ secret arrangements, the future
of mandated areas and the form
of international supervision over
areas which, because of the
primitive character of their
population, may need such super-
vision."
Senator Edwin C. Johnson of
Colorado also urged the estab-
lishment of a. "Jewish Palestine"
and criticized the failure of the
Yalta conferees to offer the
Jewish people a solution of the
Palestine 'problem.
Other speakers were Repre-
sentative Emanuel Celler of New
York, Louis Bromfield and Wil-
liam B. Ziff, authors, Ira Hirsch ,
mann., who presided, and Col.
John Henry Patterson, command-
er of the Jewish Legion.

Jews May Get Hearing
At. Frisco, Says Dr. Wise
NEW YORK (JPS)—There is
hope that the Jews may be _given
an opportunity for a proper -
presentation of their case in San
Francisco. Dr. Stephen S. Wise,
chairman of the American Zionist
Emergency Council, declared at
a reception arranged by the
World Jewish Congress for for-
mer internees of German inter-
_-ment camps who arrived here
aboard the Gripsholm.
"The Jewish people cannot
hope for a better friend of Jewry
and the Jewish National Home in
Palestine than the great Presi-
dent of the United States," Dr.
Wise said.

David Ben-Gnrion Warns
On Palestine Decision
TEL AVIV (JTA)—Zionist
, leadership should be ready for
both a favorable and an un-
favorable solution of the Pales-
tine problem, David Ben-Purion,
hairman of the executive of the
k wish Agency warned, address-
ing a meeting of the central com-
mitkee of the Palestine Jewish
LaboV Party prior to his de-
partite for London.
Declaring that the conference
of the United Nations in San
Francisco apparently will not

discuss the Palestine problem,
Ben-Gurion stated: "In any case
we ought to be prepared. If a
favorable solution • is reached,
then it must be carried out
speedily. If the solution is un-
favorable, then we will not hand
all our hopes solely on talks with
world rulers. There is one factor
which cannot be disregarded.
The Jews in Palestine and their
achievements. cannot be annulled
by words only."

Roosevelt Commends
Yiddish Press in U. S.

NEW YORK (WNS)--Presi-
dent Roosevelt addressed a per-
sonal message of greeting to
Dr. Louis Hendin, president of
the Jewish Writers Union, on
the occasion of the 75th anni-
versary of the Yiddish -press in
the U. S., which is now being
observed in many Jewish com-
munities. The President's mes-
sage read:
"Three-quarters of a century
ago the first Yiddish newsPaper
in America—the Hebrew Times
was published in New -York. It
seems fitting that those who
strive today to carry forward
the hopes of its founders should
observe this 75th anniversary.
"Through the years, since the
Hebrew Times was laboriously
hand-leftered and lithographed,
its successors have faced increas-
ing responsibility and broaden-
ing opportunity in fostering and
strengthening the ideals of free-
dom and democracy for which
we fight today.
"When victory is achieved
and peace comes once more to
the world, I know, the Yiddish
press of America will continue
to -move ahead in devotion to
the ideals which have marked
its service to America."
