All Windsor Turns Out

To Voice Palestine Plea

Gigantic Protest Rally in Arena Endorses Resolution Asking
Opening of Doors to Homeless Jewish Survivors;
Civic, Religious Leaders Speak

.

"We surely thought that at the end of the war this
persecution of human beings would certainly come to an

end," declared Mayor Arthur. J. Reaume before a capacity
audience composed of all faiths who turned out to lend their
voices in an appeal to open Palestine to 100,000 homeless
European Jews. -

The gigantic mass protest rally,
sponsored by the Windsor Jew-
ish Community Council and the
Zionist Council, was held in the
Windsor Arena, Oct. 4.
Leaders in all walks of life,
civic officials, religious ranks and
business addressed the audience
who approved a resolution urg-
ing the British to keep the pro-
visions of the Balfour Declara-
tion and to open the Holy Land
for unrestricted Jewish immigra-
tion.
Resolution Is Cabled
The Resolution, sent by cable
to Prime Minister King of Can-
ada, addressed to London, Eng.,
said:
"Mass meeting held yesterday.
Several thousand citizens of all
faiths attending passed the fol-
loWing resolution to forward to
you wires endorsing it: 'We re-
gard with deepest concern the
continuing tragedy of surviving
European Jews - months after
their liberation—one hundred
thousand who escaped Nazi mas-
sacres are still herded under in-
tolerable conditions in same con-
centration camps as under the
Nazis. Million more have hope-
less future on European contin-
ent after suffering untold miser-
ies. Death or starvation makes
attempt to return to former
homes impossible.
Rebuild Their Lives
"With immigration closed by
all countries of the world they
seek an opportunity to rebuild
their lives among their own
people in Palestine where 600,000
Jews—prepared for this emerg-
ency—will eagerly welcome
them. Action helping Jewish peo-
ple is imperative. War fought
for freedom for all peoples.
World's conscience demands the
opening of Palestine to un-
restricted Jewish immigration
and the reconstitution of Pales-
tine as a democratic Jewish com-
monwealth. A people suffering
five million casualties should at
long last be given this security
as guaranteed in the Balfour
Declaration as endorsed by 52
nations including Canada'."
Influence Government
Harry Rdsenthal, chairman of
the meeting and a prominent
figure in the dominion and prov-
incial , Zionist movement, told
the audience that it was hoped
to influence the present British
government in reaching a favor-
able decision affecting the Jew-.
ish national home and to have
the terms of the Balfour promise
implemented.
"This meeting," he said, "rep-
resents the humanitarians of
Windsor." His address touched
on the five million Jews slain
by the Nazis and of the 100,000
still in the concentration camps.

Truman Presents
Medal of Honor
To 2 Jewish Boys

Both Marines, They Earned
Nation's Highest Award
for Iwo Jima Heroism

WASHINGTON, (JPS)--#-Mar-
ine Donglis T. Jacobson, of
Port Washington, N. Y., and
Marine Pvt. Franklin E. Siegler,
of Little Falls; N: Y.; were among
the 14 .war heroes awarded . the
CongreSSiorial Medal of Honor by
President Truman here.
Both Marines received the na-
tion's top niilitary- award for
bravery in action an Iwo Jiriia
Island last winter.
The first Jewish hera of the
war to receive the Medal of Honor
was Lt. Raymond Zussman of
Detroit who was killed in Sep-
tember, 1944; a few days after his
heroic feat in France. The medal
Was presented to his father.

He related figures concerning the
great numbers of Jews who
fought the Axis powers, and of
those who with their bare hands
built a modern Palestine out of
a desert.
Mayor Reaume admonished the
citizens of Windsor with "It be-
hooves every good citizen.to join
hands with the Jews of Windsor
to help bring this before the
proper people in Britain."
Their Hour of Grief
Rabbi Benjamin Groner of Con-
gregation Shayar Hashomayim
declared "today the spirit of
democracy is rampant and my
people feel that they can no
longer carry it all themselves"
in their hour of grief: " He told
of the Jews who flocked to Pal-
estine after the last war and of
the. difficulties they encountered
in earning a living from the scrub
and marginal land of the . desert.
Other religious leaders who
attended were Dean . Wilfred J.
Langlois, the Rev. Dr. Harry
Mick and the Rev. Harold R.
Stephens, representing the
Catholic and Protestant Churches
of Windsor.
Harry Cherniak, president of
the Windsor Community Coun-
cil, opened the meeting.
2-Page Advertisement
A two-page advertisement in
the Windsor Daily Star forcibly
brought to the attention of the
community the need of opening
Palestine's gates to the Homeless
Jews of Europe immediately. .
The protest rally was publicly
endorsed by the Windsor District
Trades, and Labor Council, and
the C 1C.F. Regional Council of
Windsor.
Additional support for a Jew-
ish commonwealth was made
editorially in the Windsor press,
W. L. Clark, writing:
"Further pressure is being put
on Great Britain to open the im-
migration gates and allow thous-
ands of Jewish people to enter
Palestine. It is deemed one way
to find homes for the people of
stricken Europe. It will help
solve a- lot of problems if a Pal-
estine State were set up and the
people going there should be-
come citizens of Palestine. That
would make Palestine a true Na-
tional home for the Jewish
people.
"Once the State of Palestine
began to function and people
were citizens of Palestine, the
country could take its place in
International affairs with its own
citizens, who would be proud
of their new status."

VIENA, (JTA)—A delegation
of the Jewish community of
Vienna is scheduled to meet with
U. S. representative in Austria,
and will present to them a mem-
orandum outlining the major
problems faced by the surviving
Jews in Austria.
The delegation was named by
the executive of the Jewish Com-
munity Council, following re-
ceipt of an invitation from Gen.
Clark, American representative
on the Allied Central Commis-
sion, who said that he would like
to obtain a clear picture of the
situation and needs of the sur-
viving Jews. The delegation will
be headed by David Brill, head
of the community council, and
will include Bernhard Braver
and Akim Lewit, two Zionist
leaders.
Rampant in Austria
The memorandum points out
that:
1. Anti-Semitism is still - ram-
pant . in Austria, and that this is
due, to *a great extent, to the fact
that former Nazi officials still re-
tain their posts.
2. Former. Na2is are in control
of allocation of apartments and
of granting. licenses for traders
and artisans, and are making it
diffieult for Jews to resume a
normal existence.
3. The Vienna Jewish Commun-
ity, which owned 200 buildings
which the Nazis confiscated, is
unable to secure the return of
these buildings, which could be
used to house needy Jews..
Return Theaters
-
4. A.bout 100 motion-picture
houses which the Nazis took
from. JeWish owners, and which
are now under municipal man-
agement, should be returned to
the former owners, or transferred,

5. There is still no law provid-,
ing compensation • for Jewish
property seized by the Nazis. The
Jewish Community considers it-
self the representative body not
only of the surviving Jews, but
of all 200,000 Jews who lived in
Austria prior to the Nazi regime.
It, therefor; considers itself en-
titled to manage the property
and bank-deposits of Jews whose
whereabouts have not yet been
established.
