Five-hundred and-fifty Jewish ex-soldiers
of the Czechoslovakian Army will sail shortly
from Italy for Palestine.
Lectures on the works of eminent Jewish
scientists, forbidden under the Nazi regime,
have been resumed by professors at the Uni-
versity of Vienna. Professor Freud's book
"Moses and Monotheism," and his other works
have been reintroduced on the . University read-
ing lists.
Robert Ley, Nazi leader who hanged him-
self and left a testament to the German people
to join in a union with the Jews, had, before
his suicide, .requested Father Charles E.
Coughlin; anti-Semitic radio priest of Royal
Oak, Mich., as his defense attorney at the war
crimes trial, Major Douglas M. Kelley, of U. S.
Army Headquarters, disclosed in Nuremberg.
The insistence on immigration to Palestine
of thousands of Eastern European refugees in
Sweden, and their almost unanimous refusal
to be repatriated to their former countries,
is being stressed in the Swedish press. News-

papers here recently featured this fact in a
story of 5,000 Jewish concentration camp
refugees, mostly women, from Germany,
Poland, Czechoslovakia and Hungary, who ar-
rived here within the last six months for re-
cuperation. Eighty per cent of them demand
to be sent to Palestine.
Nazi anti-Semitism has left a deep scar,
not only on German youth but on large por-
tions of the older generation, which is yet to
be counteracted, the Berlin newspaper Neue
Zeit states. The newspaper reports that the
anti-Semitic Horst-Wessel song is still frequent-
ly heard on the streets of Berlin, Hamburg
and other German cities.
Almost all of the 6,000 Danish Jews, recent-
ly repatriated from Sweden, have received
their property which was confiscated under
the Nazi regime, but are still awaiting restitu-
tion of their homes.

Lord Winterton Hails
Palestine Miracles
LONDON—(Palcor) Lord Win-
terton, anti-Zionist, has shown
some modification of his stand
in an article in the Sunday
Chronicle. Stating that the Bal-
four Declaration promised a na-
tional home to the Jews, but that
the British simultaneously made
promises which at first glance
seemed incompatible with the
Balfour Declaration, he says:
"In 20 years the Jews perform-
ed miracles in Palestine, and
their enormous contribution to
the country's wealth is an in-
disputable fact; in the war Pal-
estine's dndustries have been of
,enormous value to the Empire,
nor can we forget the terrible
plight of tens of thousands of
displaced Jews in Europe seek-
ing a home.
"At the same time we cannot
overlook Arab resistance to the
possibility of becoming a min-
ority. The fact remains, know-
ing the circumstances, can we af-
ford to see a clash between
Arabs and Jews? A conflict
there would cause grave diffi-
culties for the, Allies. Whatever
the Government's decision it
should be in accord with the
facts and justice, and not based
on sentiment or political. expedi.:.

"There are certain simple facts

From Mystic India

told this one to the Wac News:
The other day some neighbors
of mine received a gift from their
soldier 'ton stationed in India.
Embroidered on the gift was
the strange legend 'TAM HTAB.'
They called me and asked if I
could translate the inscription,
hoping hat I had some knowledge
of that strange tongue. I did
not, but I studied closely the
piece of cloth spread out in all
its beauty on a table. Finally I
decided to turn the cloth over.
Sure enough, "TAM HTAB" be-
came BATH MAT.
