ditional $75.

NEW YORK. (JTA)—Strongly criticizing the policies of the
Entish government in Palestine, Herbert H. Lehman appealed for
the immediate admission of 100,000 Jews into the Holy Land and
',reed Congress to pass legislation permitting the entrance of "even
niore than our fair share" of displaced Jews in the U. S.
Mr. Lehman also supported the
Jewish Agency partition plan to

Africa Adolf Hitler was inaugurating in
the Reich. It has been called "one
of the books that rocked the
world." As a result of this book
and the dispatches Mr. Mowrer
was sending from Germany, he
was expelled from the Reich by
Hitler—winning the distinction of
being the first American corre-
spondent to be sent out of Ger-
many by the Nazis.
World Situation
Few Americans have had such
opportunities for understanding
the world situation as Mr. Mow-
rer. He is familiar with all the
countries of Europe and has
worked in most of them. He has
spent years in France, Germany,
and Italy, and speaks the lan-
guages of these countries. He has
worked in Britain and twice
spoken to large groups of mem-
bers of the British Parliament in
committee rooms at the House of
Commons. He has visited Russia
and twice been to the Far East
for extended trips. He covered
World War I, the beginning of
the Spanish Civil War, and one
phase of the war in China. He
predicted, in 1923, that Mussolini
would make trouble for the world
unless speedily squashed; in 1933
that Adolf Hitler was "hell-bent"
on a new war; in 1936 that Japan
was about to start on the effort to
dominate the Far East.
Mr. Mowrer returned to this
country in Noveniber, 1941, just
before Pearl Harbor. He cov-
ered the first year of World
.k War II in France and watched the

of European affairs makes his
observations particularly worth
while.
Mr. Mowrer is a brilliant speak-
er and is famed for his incisivf
style. He is not only one of the
great foreign correspondents of

the day but also a platform _man
of rare ability.
