wanders, cold, hungry, disconsolate, over the face of Europe, only
the sole survivor of her family in her arms! The scales of life or
death for this remnant of a once happy family and for tens of
thousands of others like them, will be weighed by the support
Detroit Jews will give to the $2,000,000 Allied Jewish Campaign.

urge British Members
Of Inquiry Committee
To Reject Attlee's Stand

British members of the Anglo-American Inquiry
Committee were challenged this week by Frank W.
Buxton, one of the U. S. members of the committee,
to reject the stand taken by Prime Minister Attlee
who has set up "impossible conditions" to interfere
with the immediate admission of 100,000 Jews into
Palestine.

Mr. Buxton's statement, which followed the strong
declaration of Bartley C. Crum, co-member of the
committee, affirming that the decisions were in-.
tended to be "without conditions," asserts that it
was the unanimous decision of the committee to
implement the admission of the 100,000 at once.
"If the Prime Minister did not know how im-
possible it would be to disarm the secret armies,
he was 'an incredibly stupid man'," Mr. Buxton is
quoted.

and ourselves, if barred from proceeding to Palestine, warned the

1,100 Jews on the schooner Fede at LaSpezia, Italy. Great Britain finally gave them permission to pro-
ceed to Eretz Israel. At left, the refugees from many parts of war-torn Europe use the ship as a home.

The dock became a place of recreation, sunbathing a nd for the hanging of wash. The Jewish flag offered
them comfort and courage. On the right is the sch ooner flying the Italian flag, although none of the

refugees could speak Italian.

Tension created by the committee's report
brought forth a demand from the United Zionist
Council of Canada urging postponement of the World
Zionist Congress scheduled to open in Tel Aviv on
Aug. 7. Mizrachi and General Zionist leaders in
Palestine urge reconsideration of the decision td hold
the Congress in Palestine.

Dr. Chaim Weizmann, who is quoted as opposing
holding the Congress in Palestine, is leaving Jerus-
alem for England for another operation on his eyes
and may not be able to attend Tel Aviv sessions of
the Congress, although he could arrange to attend
sessions in Switzerland.
