`Palestine Problem' at Telenews
Tells Current Issues in Zionism
Weekly Review of the News of the World
(Compiled From Cables of Independent Jewish Press Service)
"Hitler would have needed six more months
to have exterminated the Jewish race in
Europe" Allied military liaison officers esti-
mated, correspondent Thomas R. Henry of the
Washington Evening Star says in a dispatch to
his newspaper from Germany; Mr. Henry states
that this estimate was made on the basis of
repatriation of Jews to Western European
countries from the British and American oc-
cupation zones, but the same presumably holds
true for Eastern Europe.
"The problem of what to do in Palestine can
no longer be left solely to Britain, and, in fact,
Britain no longer has any desire to carry the
burden alone," and is unofficially seeking a
compromise between Zionist and Arab ex-
tremists, Sydney • Gruson, New York Times
correspondent, asserts in a dispatch from
London.
In a letter to the New York Herald Tribune,
Wendell L. Phillips, Rector of Christ's Church,
Rye, N. Y. answers the allegation Prof. Wil-
liam Ernest
' Hocking, of Harvard, made in a-
letter to the Tribune on Aug. 26, that the Bal-
four Declaration excluded the development
of a Jewish State in Palestine. Rector Phil-
lips writes that the Balfour • Declaration, in
1917, decreed that while a Jewish state could
not be set up immediately, it should be estab-
lished when the Jews became a definite majority
in Palestine. The 1939 White Paper, curtailing
immigration, automatically keeps the Jews
from becoming a majority and therefore con-
stitutes a repudiation of the Balfour Declara-
tion, Rector Phillips writes.

Trade unions in Warsaw, Lublin, Cracow and

special commission to supervise the properties

Through the efforts of the
United Palestine Appeal, with the
cooperation of its local organiza-
tion sponsored through the Al-
lied Jewish Campaign of the
Jewish Welfare Federation, a
great history-making film is now
available to Detroit audiences.
It is called "Palestine Problem"
and it depicts the discussion of
the Palestine problem at Pots-
dam. It reveals how the issue of
a Free Jewish Palestine is part
of the new -British Labor' Party
platform, but shows realistically
that the Arabs, too, are making
headlines with their demands.

Thus, the March of Time is now
bringing to the nation's screens
the film story of the Palestine
Problem, with Detroit the first
community to see it.
With newspapers daily head-
lining the Palestine story, March
of Time up-to-dates audiences on
the situation affecting the Jewish
National Home, from 1917 when
Lord Allenby conquered the Holy
Land to the present time.
This film shows hoc,/ the Zion-
ist movement is endeavoring to
work toward a successful settle-
„merit of the problem, since a
solution must be reached quickly.
The new Labor Party platform is
in accord with Jewish sentiment,'
but Arabs continue to ask ad-
herence to the 1939 White Paper.
To prove the point of urgent
Jewish needs, Jewish leaders
point out the accomplishments in.
Palestine, the expanding of
frontiers, irrigation, malaria' con-
trols, cultural achievements, the
schools and free medical and hos-
pital care for the Aralz., as well
as improved working conditions
and increased wages.
"Palestine Problem” reaches
into every community and the
showing in - Detroit is - considered
of the utmost importance.
,
United Palestine Appeal lead-
ers—nationally and locally—urge
that it be seen by large audiences.
