THE JEWISH NEWS
Reads Jewish News, Learns
Brother-Elected British MP
29 Jews Elected to British Parliament in Labor Party's
Landslide; Prime Minister Attlee Appoints Two
Jews to High Cabinet Positions
One of the most interesting
calls to come to the office of
The Jewish News was received
last Friday noon—shortly after
the Aug. 3 issue had reached
our readers.
Harry Perin of 2944 Burlin-
game informed The Jewish
News that he received "the sur-
prise of my life" when he read
the front page story that his
brother — Philip Piratin — was
one of 29 Jews to be elected as
members of Parliament in the
elections in Great Britain. Mr.
Piratin is one of the two -Com-
munists elected to Parliament.
Mr. Perin is an ardent Zionist
who belonged to the London
University Zionist Society. He
had not seen his brother in 30
years, but is confident that he
will be a credit to his' people
and to his country. _
"The family background, the
Jewish training our father gave
us, provide me with confidence
that my brother will be an asset
in the House of Commons," Mr.
Perin said.
He immediately dispatched a
cablegram to his brother tender-

Tolerance Is No l t Enough to
Eliminate Bigotry, Editor-
ial Declares
HARTFORD (JPS)—Declaring
that tolerance is "not enough" to
eliminate prejudice and bigotry,
the Catholic Transcript, of Hart-
ford, Conn., editorially denoun-
ced as "sickening" a letter written
by Thomas B. Dawson, publisher
of the Metropolitan News in West
Hartford, praising Senator Bilbo
(D) Miss., for his anti-FEPC
stand and his attacks on minority
groups.
Dawson's letter, lauding Bilbo
and "his friends" for trying to
"save" America and complaining
that "real White Christian Amer-
icans" in the North are outnum-
bered by "Johnny-come-latelys
from Europe" who speak with
"broken accents," was read. by
Bilbo on. the Senate floor and was
inserted into the Congressional
Record.
The editorial in the Catholic
Transcript asserts that Dawson's
letter may shock some readers
into making an "impassioned plea
for tolerance." The editorial adds,
however, that "to tolerate Jews
or Protestants or Catholids, Ne-
groes or Asiatics or Eskimos
means simply to put up with
them temporarily in the expecta-
tion of being eventually rid of
them. Tolbrance, then, is not
enough. It is not worthy of
human beings. What is required
is justic and charity."
