SAN FRANCISCO — Confer-
ence impressions are marked by
mixed emotions. The first 18
days of the "great show" are
over, a number of delegates have
left, many of the newspapermen
have returned to their homes
and many more are pleading
with their editors to permit them
to go back to routine.
Of the large retinue of Jewish
newspapermen, only a handful
remain to "cover" the historic
events for their newspapers and
news agencies, the general belief
being that there won't be much
happening for a number of days,
possibly two week's to come.
The trusteeship question, in all
likelihood, may not be settled
here at all but may be turned
over to a commission, or to the
International Assembly and Se-
curity Council, for future action.
May Defer Action
I believe that it is safe to as-
sume that the 'strong sentiment
in favor of annexation of Pacific
Islands to the U. S. without
strings attached to them, may
cause deferment of any positive
action on the trusteeship pro-
posal.

THE SO-CALLED Bill of
Rights clause in the proposed
World Charter is taking shape,
and the important points in it,
which have been hailed as a
triumph for humanitarian ideals,
now have the approval of the
leading powers, including Rus-
sia.
The Human Rights clauses
were prepared by Senator Ar-
thur H. Vandenberg of Michigan,
a member of the American Dele-
gation, and they read as follows:
"The General Assembly should
initiate studies and make recom-
mendations i n
political, e c o
nomic, social
and cultural
fields to assist
in the realiza-
tion of human
•rights and basic
freedoms- for all,
without distinc-
tion as to race,
language,
r e -
Sen. Vandenbergligion or sex and
also for the encouragement of
the development of international
law."
"The General Assembly should
be empowered to recommend
measures for the peaceful ad-
justment of any situations, re-
gardless of origin, which it
deems likely to inipair the gen-
eral welfare or friendly relations
among nations, including situa-
tions resulting from a violation
of the Purposes and Principles
set forth in the Charter."

I HAD A LONG conversation
last Thursday night with Senator
Vandenberg, and he was elated
over the adoption of these
amendments to the Dumbarton
Oaks proposals.
"At long last," he told me, "we
have a formula for the mobiliza-
tion of world conscience. These
decisions will have a • tremend-
ous influence on the next cen-
tury. It is the greatest thing
that has happened to your peo-
ple."
What about the domestic juris-
diction clause in the accepted
amendments?
Can't Halt Race Riots
Senator Vandenberg replied
that while under the domestic
jurisdiction reference the new
world organization will not be
able to interfere in a race riot
situation in Detroit, the Secur-
ity Council will be able to step
in to act when it becomes a mat-
ter affecting Palestine in an
agreement in which the U. S.,
Great Britain and other powers
have 'a responsibility.

EXCEPT FOR the uneasiness
over the domestic jurisdiction
clause, Jewish leaders are jubil-
ant over the adoption of the
Human Rights. amendments.
Dr. Jacob Robinson of the
World Jewish Congress . delega-
tion, a former member of the
Latvian Cabinet; Henry Monsky,
American Jewish Conference
consultant; Herman Shulman,
Mr. Monsky's associate consult-
ant; Judge Joseph M. Proskayer
and Jacob Blaustein, consultant
and associate consultant for the
American Jewish Committee,
agreed that adoption of these
amendments is a triumph for
humanitarianism.

JUDGE PROSKAUER made
some interesting statements
when he met with representa-
tives of the Jewish press.
Commenting on the several
delegations repreSenting Jewish
groups in San Francisco, he said
that "we are getting along bet-
ter without trying to formalize."
He added: "I am looking for har-
Many. I do not want any Jew-
ish wrangling in San FranciS-co."
Prepared to Collaborate
He assured the newspapermen
that he was prepared to colla-
borate with Mr. Monsky in the
presentation of the American
Jewish Conference viewpoint on
the need for incorporating a
clause in the trusteeship pro-
posals to guarantee safeguards
for the Jewish position in Pales-
tine.
Mr.' Blaustein revealed that
members of the American Dele-
gation had told him that by
pressing for action the American
Jewish Committee "put human
rights back into . the • Charter."
He said that at a consultants
meeting Philip Murray, CIO
president, said he "wanted the
privilege of signing" the state-
ment of the Committee in be-
half of the Bill of Rights.

AN INTERESTING sidelight
was provided at the Conference
by. Count Coudenhove.-Kalergi,
head of the Pan-European Union
and a vigorous opponent of anti-
Semitism. -
The Count Offered a plan for
Regionalism, urged liquidation
of the Reich, warned against the
European split as between the
powers of Russia and Britain and
criticized the conclusions of the
UNCIO. "Since the veto power
has been accepted, this has ceas-
ed to be a world security organ-
ization to bar a third world war,"
he stated.

A STATEMENT by Dmitri I.
Maniulsky, head of the Ukrain-
ian delegation, left a deep im-
pression. The newcomer, upon
his arrival, told a touching story
of the destruction that was visit-
ed upon the Ukraine.
The Jewish population has
been all but annihilated, he re-
ported, very few remaining
alive to return to their homes.
He urged that American news-
papermen should go there to see
the works of the Nazis for them-
selves and to be witnesses to
the worst crime in the history
of the world.
