paign will open officially next Tuesday evening, at a dinner
in the Grand Ballroom of Hotel Statler.

the Zionist Organization of America and the Central Con-
ference of American Rabbis, as guest speaker, the campaign's

preside at the dinner.

While pre-campaign activities have been in pro-

over the Nazis. The various posts of the Jewish War Veter-
ans in Michigan will participate in the massing of the Colors.

The dinner, the first of its kind to • be held in four
years, will mark a community reunion of Jewish leader-
ship in their re-dedication to the causes represented in
the Allied Jewish Campaign.

division the junior division, special professional and trades
teams and a special division organized for the - schools.

Inquiry Committee's Report

100,000 Must Go
To Zion Within
Next 8 Months

The long-awaited report of the Anglo-American Inquiry Commis-
sion on Palestine, issued nearly four months from the date the commit-
tee was chosen, was released Tuesday night by President Truman, in
Washington, and by British Foreign Secretary Bevin, in London.
Admission of 100,000 Jews into Palestine by the end of 1946, al-
lowing the next eight months for their transportation; the virtual abro-
gation of the White Paper; condemnation of the White Paper's restric-
tions on land sales to Jews in Palestine, and the effectuating of the
provisions of the United Nations Charter calling for "universal respect
for, and observance of, human rights and fundamental freedoms for
all, without distinction as to race, sex, language or religion," in behalf
of those Jews, who will continue to live in Europe, are among the
major points in the report of the 12-man committee.
The report favors continuation of the present mandatory govern-
ment over Palestine and opposes the establishment of multiple states,
expressing the belief that it would lead to further trouble in the. Holy
Land. It envisions the ultimate establishment of a Palestine state
which will guarantee the rights of all—Christians, Moslems and Jews—
under international protection.
The report was accompanied by a letter by President Truman
commending the inquiry committee for its recommendations, especial-
ly the points emphasizing the settlement of 100,000 surviving Jews in
Europe, the abrogation of the White Paper and the proposals for the
protection of the sacred places of all faiths.
A complete summary of the report appears on Page 6.
