Morrison Federalization Proposal
Looms on Agenda at Zion Parley
Detroit's great community drive is about to commence.
In 1947, the Allied Jewish Campaign quota will have
goal of $170,000,000.
Special Cable to The Jewish News
LONDON (JTA) — When the
Palestine conference finally opens
here, in all probability on Mon-
day, the only proposal will be the
Morrison federalization plan and
the project for Palestine's inde-
pendence as outlined at the first
session of the conference last
summer by the Arab League, it
was indicated on Tuesday in of-
ficial British circles.
It has been stated the govern-
ment has no new plan on hand
for submission to the conference.
' Emanuel Neumann, vice-presi-
dent of the ZOA, conceded at a
press conference Tuesday that
the "Jewish Agency would still
be prepared to join the confer-
ence if the British gave evidence
of a desire to change its attitude.
Mr. Neumann stresses, however,
Zionists, "if they were not in-
vited in at the front door would
not enter at the back door." He
emphasized the Agency has seen
no indication Britain is prepared
to change its policy.
David Ben Gurion, wiTo ar-
rived on Tuesday to participate
in informal conferences between
Zionists and the British, said he
expected tip remain here for three
weeks, depending on how the
talks proceed, adding: "As usual,
the subject will be the future of
Palestine."
The Zionist delegation which
ti ill meet with Colonial Secretary
Arthur Creech-Jones and per-
haps also with Foreign Secretary
Bevin will consist, in addition to
Ben Gurion, of Moshe Sneh,
Moshe Shertok and Isaac Ben-
Zvi. The delegation hopes that its
▪ proposal for a Jewish State will
be placed before the Arabs by
the British. A Jewish spokesman
said there is slim hope of a com-
promise, but Arab and Jewish
moderates are tired of strife.
to
be commensurate with the national United Jewish Appeal
In addition to providing allocations for the Joint Dis-
tribution Committee, United Palestine Appeal and United
Service for New Americans, the local goal will include the
Detroit educational, recreational and social service causes
and national American-Jewish agencies.
The visit in Detroit this Saturday of Henry Morgenthau
Jr., general chairman of the United Jewish Appeal, and
the full-day seminar of the Women's Division of the Jewish
Welfare Federation on Jan. 30 serve as introductory as-
pects to the launching of the Allied Jewish Campaign.
Mr. Morgenthau will meet with members of the Community
Quota Committee at 8:30 o'clock, Saturday evening, at the
Rackham Memorial Bldg.
All Trade and Professional Groups of the Detroit Service
Group, leaders of the Jewish Welfare Federation, heads of the
Women's and Junior Divisions of the Detroit Service Group,
as well as key people in all walks of life in the community and
outstanding Allied Jewish Compaign workers will confer on the
goal in the forthcoming drive.
On the basis of funds raised last year—$2,800,000 during
Emergency Allied Jewish Campaign, $912,000 from the
War Chest and $90,000 for civic-protective causes—it is reason-
able to assume the 1947 Detroit goal may have to be set at
approximately $5,000,000. The increase is necessitated by the
establishment of a national United Jewish Appeal quota of
$170,000,000, as compared with the $100,000,000 goal of 1946.
The 70 per cent national increase accounts for the vastly
the
greater demand for funds to be made upon Detroit Jewry dur-
ing the coming months.

Chance to Forget:
now in France. He is one of a transport of 2.000 children who were
brought from Poland by the JDC and will live in France until he
and the other children are taken to permanent homes in Palestine.
He is trying to forget the experiences which put a white streak
through his hair. and placed an irremovable expression of pathos
in his eyes. His family was killed and the Nazis kept him in
Auschwitz. Buchenwald and a Nazi V-2 factory. JDC is training
him to become a watchmaker.
Several aspects of overseas needs are outlined in the
photographs on this page which lust reached The Jewish
News from Europe and Palestine through the Joint Dis-
tribution Committee and the United Palestine Appeal.

In. this well kept Jewish chil-
dren's home in Uccle. near Brussels, Belgium, real home life is
provided for orphans who managed to escape death at the hands
of the Nazis. They were kept in hiding by Belgian patriots. Now
they are cared for with food and clothing, and are provided with
toys, by the Jews of America, through the Joint Distribution Com-
mittee. Here, during playtime, they are shown receiving toys from
the United States. JDC, an agency of the United Jewish Appeal,
gets its support in Detroit from the Allied Jewish Campaign.
