AMERICA
The immediate trial of Adrien Archand,
Canada's Julius Streicher, was demanded
editorially by the Canadian Jewish Chronicle
following Archand's release from internment.
The editorial scores the Ottawa Government
for its strange procedure in denying, during
election, reports that it would release Archand,
and then releasing him soon after the ballots
were counted. At hearings preceding his in-
ternment, the presiding judge declared that
"the evidence adduced there were ample signs
of overt treason," the Chronicle says. "Only
a trial, if anything at all, can so exonerate
him as to entitle him to free intercourse with
the members of a noble generation of Ca-
nadians."
An experimental laboratory, where the
corpses of German death camp victims were
converted into soap, has been found, on
grounds covered with hundreds of human
skulls and bones, near Danzig, M. S. Handler,
United Press correspondent, reports from
Gdansk, Poland.
"Write in letters of flame" that "Catholics
are not anti-Semitic," The Pilor, official organ
of the Catholic Archdiocese of Boston, declares
in an editorial.
PALESTINE
A prison term of 15 years was imIlOsed by a
military court here on Gershon Gradowsky,
alias Chaim Brenner, 25, of Tel Aviv, a mem-
ber of the terrorist Irgun. Zvai •eumi, for his
illegal possession of a light machine gun, four
bombs, 12 hand grenades,. 11 pistols and re-
volvers and 1,800 bullets found in his room.
The demobilization of Jewish Palestine's vol-
unteers with the armed forces has begun, with
the release of 11 Jewish servicemen and 16
Jewish servicewomen. At the same time re-
cruiting for the Jewish brigade continues at the
rate of 50 to 60 recruits a month, "a fine type
of young men enlisting," the commandant of
the Palestine training depot told newsmen.
Oil drilling is to start in the southern re-
gion of Palestine, where considerable resour-
ces are believed to exist, as soon as equipment
arrives from England. The drilling will be
done by the (Palestine) Petroleum Develop-
ment Corp. formed in 1938 as a subsidiary of
the Iraq Petroleum Company. The area to be
immediately explored is believed to be the
Gaza region in which surveying began be-
fore the outbreak of the present war and was -
completed in 1940. War made further work
impossible.
OVERSEAS
Eliahu Dobkin, deputy member of the Jew-
ish Agency's Executive Committee incharge
of immigration, departed for Germany J - uly 20
several hours after his arrival in London from
France. He will confer with Jacob Griffel who

Anti-Semitic terror is flaring in Tangiers,
Spanish Morocco, shortly to be turned over to
international control. Jews are being arrested
and constantly attacked by Spanish Falangists
because they celebrated the victory Over the
Axis in Europe. The Falangists blame the
Jews for the defeat of fascism and apparently
wish to take vengeanCe against them.
Hundreds of destitute Jews from Carpatho-
Ruthenia, who recently arrived in Bohemia
and Moravia seeking to become Czechoslovak
subjects, have been denied citizenship by the
Czechoslovak Government.
The first official greetings from an Ameri-
can Zionist spokesman, a message from Dr.
Israel Goldstein, president of the Zionist Or-
ganization of America, on a visit in Paris has
been delivered to Kibbutz-Buchenwald, newly
formed by surviving Jewish inmates on the
site of the notorious Nazi concentration camp
in Germany.
Jewish partisan fighters and \ Jewish veter-
ans of the Warsaw Ghetto battle, stressing
the importance of physical training for Jews
in Poland, • have re-organized the Hakoah
(Zionist) Athletic Club in Lodz, before the
war, one of the most popular Jewish athletic
clubs in Poland. Local authorities have
promised to provide the club with an athletic
stadium.
A resolution to reinstate Jewish doctors
and lawyers expelled from their professions
on racial grounds, and to pay pension to
Jewish colleagues returning to Austria was
adopted in Vienna by the Austrian doctors
and lawyers association.
Eighty thousand Jews have so far been
liberated from German concentration camps
by the Red Army, according to Soviet spokes-
men. An estimated 70,000 Jews, so-called
non repatriables, are still in Buchenwald and
other former concentration camps where the
high death rate diminishes their numbers
daily. With the evacuation from parts of
central Germany of British and American
troops, these Jews will come under Soviet
authority.
A memorandum submitted to the laritish
government by Jewish Palestine's Trade
Delegation, on its departure for home,. called
on Britain to treat Palestine's industries on
a par with its own, and to permit Palestine
to conclude reciprocal trade agreements, with
a "most favored nation" clause, so as to stop
the pre-war practice of dumping which now
constitutes the most serious potential threat
to Palestine industry.
