Arab Workers' Union Favors
Jewish Homeland in Palestine
Room for All Assured
On a Bi-National Basis
JAFFA, (JTA)—A manifesto declaring that ,there
is sufficient room in Palestine for both Arabs and
Jews was issued here at the conclusion of the Arab
Socialist Workers Union. If the country is properly
developed, both peoples can live here in, peace and a
Jewish National Home can be built in cooperation with
Arab workers, on the basis of equality in a common
homeland, the manifesto added.
Arab trade union leaders, including George Nassar,
who was one of the delegates to the World Trade Union
conference in London last Spring, stressed the neces-
sity for solidarity between Arab and Jewish workers.
The conference also was addressed by representatives
of Jewish labor groups:
The manifesto also stressed the necessity of root-
ing out fascism among the Arab , masses and attacked
Arab leaders who, it said, under the veil of national-
istic slogans, suppress. the vital interests of Arab
workers.
A conference of leading members of the Husseini
family, to which the ex-Mufti of Jerusalem belongs,
adopted a resolution demanding the return of Arab
leaders and other political internees deported by ;r•Lie
British for terroristic activities. It voted support cif
Musa el Alami, Palestine "delegate" to the pan-Arab
League. Alami was attacked by leaders of two Pal-
•estine Arab parties, last month, who declared that he
did not represent all the Arabs of Palestine.

eport Anti-Semitism
Still Flares in Germany
PARIS (JPS)—The population of occupied Ger-
many is making no attempt to camouflage its • anti-
Semitism, Jews arriving here from former German
labor camps report. The anti-Semitic line advises
amiability toward British, Russians and Americans,
stressing that Germany's real enemy is the Jew.
This attitude allegedly is lent encouragement, in
the American zone of occupation, by some American
officers and enlisted men who fail to conceal their
jealousy of Jewish fellow-soldiers holding administra-
tive positions because of their knowledge of the Ger-
man. language. The American Military Government
is combating this anti-Semitism, but so far has been
unsuccessful, the Jewish arrivals say.
An urgent plea for liberation, addressed to world
Jewry, has been smuggled out of Buchenwald death
camp by Jews, who, months after Germany's defeat,
are still inmates of the camp, allegedly subsisting on
hunger rations. The Buchenwald inmates recently
went on a hunger strike in protest against their rations
and the alleged misbehavior of some of their American
guards.

JEWS OF EUROPE IN PRECARIOUS PLIGHT
BOSTON (JPS)—"The Jewish question has not
been disposed of by the Allied victory in Europe. Not
even the extermination of 5,000,000 Jews, representing
70 percent of Europe's Jewish population outside of
Russia, has eased the problem," Ernest S. Pisko writes
in an article in the Christian Science Monitor, describ-
ing the plight of Jewish remnants in liberated and de-
feated countries.
"Short of the opening of adequate non-European
countries to resettlement, only an intensive campaign of
education and the enforcement of international law
. . . can give the Jewish remnants a fair means of
security," Mr. Pisko writes.
Destitute and Hungry :
One of 200,000 destitute Jews
(above left) of Romania shown looking through refuse piles
for food. Hungry, cold and homeless Jews in the liberated
countries are looking to the Joint Distribution •Committee
for relief. The JDC is one of the major agencies in the
United Jewish Appeal.
Orphans of Nazism :
Two children, presumably broth-
er and sister (above right), the latter crippled by Nazi
torture, were rescued by liberating armies but left to shift
for themselves. Only generous support by American Jewry
can help to rehabilitate them. The UJA derives its funds
locally through the Allied Jewish Campaign, an associate
agency in the War Chest of Metropolitan Detroit.

The Long Road Back :
Yes, they are free people once
again, but where are they going? Herded from their homes
to Nazi concentration camps, the line of liberated Jews (ex-
treme right) are on the march to nowhere. Many hope to
be resettled in Palestine through funds provided by the
United Palestine Appeal, a UJA agency.
