Writing to the editor of The
tics along nationalistic lines. His

plea was for the establishment of
the Jewish National Home as the
only force that can create,a demo-
cratic spirit in the Middle East.
Democratic Force
He declared it is to the best
interests of this country that the
Jewish Homeland should be es-

Jews do in Palestine, as the
strongest democratic force, will
be followed by all Arab coun-
tries," he said.

hind the Silken Curtain" (Simon
& Schuster) has created a sensa-
tion, stated terrorism is not ram-

right to fight for admission of
their European brethren into the
country which is the only hope
for the survivors from Nazism.

tion of European Jews.

audience in the singing of the
National Anthems.
