American Jew- ry has not yet shown signs of meriting the responsibility and leadership which the tragic hour has thrust upon it.

The Refugee Ship Economic Bureau Joins Palestine Foundation Fun By- EVA SINGER A homeless people—stranded, afloat, Huddled together on a rickety old boat. Hoping to reach the Promised Land, Where they are offered a helping hand. But with only a glimpse of this cov- eted shore. They are turned away to drift some more, For political minds do not deem it wise. Thus ignore completely their agonizing cries, And turn instead to tanks and guns To keep from this land het native sons. Though vastly outnumbered, they wage a valiant fight, After the darkness must come the light. And when seemingly beaten, they hold their heads high. For the Spirit of Israel never shall die!
