Adoption • of the resolution fol-
lowed strong endorsement of the
Zionist cause by Judge Frank A.
Picard, chairman of the Mich-
igan Chapter, of the American
Palestine Committee, and, the
two speakers at the luncheon,
the Rev. George E. Drew and
George F. Pierrot, who were the
Michigan delegates at the Christ-
ian' conference on Palestine 'held
in 'Princeton, N. J.; •July 2 and 3.
Committee's Resolution
The resolution adopted by the
Michigan Christiian leaders de-
clares:
In view of the perilous
status of European Jewry, the
American Chapter of the Am-
erican Palestine Committee
urges that all Americans unite
in the support of the follow-
ing program:
1. The free immigration of
Jews into Palestine under the
administration of the inter-
nationally recognized Jewish
Agency for Palestine.
2. The unhampered right of
the Jewish people to - purchase
and colonize land throughout
Palestine.
3. The establishment of Pal-
estine as a free and demo-
cratic Jewish common wealth.
It is our considered opinion
that these three necessities
constitute a primary andfund-
mental application of the sta-:
tute and implications of the
United Nations Charter.
We , believe that the people
of the United States should
take world leadership in this
expression of justice and
human decency.
1 Christian Interest Cited
Adoption of this resolution
was moved by the Rev. Drew,
who is pastor of Mt. Hope Con-
gregation Church, after he had
given an analysis: of the evalu-
ation of Christian interest in
Palestine at the Princeton con-
ference.
Mr. Drew reported on the
speeches delivered at that con-
ference by Dr. E. Lindeman of
Columbia University, Dr. Rein-
hold Neibuhr, the Rev. Wendell
Phillips, Dr. Carl Friedrich of
Harvard University, Dr. Walter
Clay Lowdermilk and David
Ben Gurion.
His resume of the conference
proceedings included reports on
Christian attitudes towards anti-
Semitism and their 'desire to see
it eradicated.
Gives Birdseye View
Mr. Pierrot, who seconded the
resolution and appealed for its
adoption, supplemented the re-
port on the Princeton confer-
ence by giving a birdseye view
of Palestine and Arabic lands he
had visited. He pointed out
that there is a fanatic objection
to progress among the Arabs
and that their own* advancement
depends wholly on the advance-
ment that is being made by
Jews in the Middle and Near
East.
Declaring that lip service and
sympathy are not enough, Mr.
Pierrot called for action in ad-
vancing the cause of justice by
assisting in the realization of
the Zionist cause.
Announce Plans for Action
Mr. Pierrot announced that
plans for action include the re-
organization of the Society of
the Occident and the Orient in
the interest of fighting bigotry
and anti-Semitism, the holding
of a large dinner meeting for the
Christian friends of a Jewish
Palestine in November and the
convening of a Michigan Christ-
ian conference on Palestine next
March.
In his opening remarks at the
luncheon meeting, Judge Picard
expressed the view that what
happens in the next six months
will also decide whether the
present conflict . Will continue. He
said that he felt . confident that
a solution will be arrived at
soon on the basis of the com-
mitments to the Jewish people
by the great powers of the
world that a Jewish National
Home will be created in Pal-
estine. - •
Stake in Palestine.
Judge Picard quoted at length
from the recent address of Sen-
ator Robert F. Wagner who de-
clared that this country has a
stake in the Palestine problem,
that the obligations to the Jews
must be adhered to by Great
Britain and the United States
and that "we have an obligation
toward Palestine which must be
met in full—and it must be met
now."
Among those at the luncheon
meeting in addition to Judge
Picard, Mr. Drew, and Mr.
Pierrot were: Frank X. Martel,
Dr. Henry Hill • Crane, • Mayor
D. J. Hackett of Jackson, Dr.
0. S. Starrett, Robert Lietz, Mrs.
J. Salmi, John E. Martz of Birm-
ingham, Howell Van Auken,
Dean Arthur Neef of the Wayne
College of Law, and a number
of other Detroit and Michigan
leaders.

Legion News Greets
Jewish War Vets
Legion News, whose editor is
Robert F. Moylan, carried an in-
teresting editorial, under the
heading "Season's Greetings," on
the occasion of the Jewish High
Holydays. The editorial' reads:
"Among the thousands of Le-
gionnaires in Detroit and Mich-
igan there is a good percentage
of veterans of both wars who
are of- the 'Jewish faith: While
these comrades are no different
in general than any of us, their
religion is the oldest in the
world and unlike most religions
it has stayed just the way it
was hundreds of years ago.
Consequently the dates of some
of their holidays do not cor-
respond with ours of the Chris-
tian faith. The American Le-
gion is not concerned with the
faith of a man but that he be a
patriot and a veteran. Among
those of Jewish faith in Detroit
are some of our best Legion-
naires. So it is at this season of
the year when: they are ob-
serving some of their most im-
portant holidays, Legion News
on behalf of the officers of the
Detroit Districts Association
and all of its members extend
to our comrades of the Jewish
faith the "greetings of the
season."

herself. She apologized, saying:
"It's the first word we had from
the family _since the war began.
God bless you for this. You have
performed a great mitzvah; you
won't need to fast on Yom
Kippur."
This was the reaction of a De-
troit citizen when Resettleme -At

cessful search made for her
sister's family last known to be
in Warsaw in the fall of 1939.
Only one child, a '19-year-old
girl, out of a family of six, had
survived. She turned up in
Sweden.

wards it to New York for
