Palestine Talk
A new five-point plan to combat underground activities in Pales-
tine has been submitted to the Palestine High Commissioner by some
of his admirers • . . But the High Commissioner seems to have his
own plans, which he has not shared with anybody . . . Not even with
the Chief Justice of Palestine who is the No. 2 man in the country
. . . This new policy of not giving any clue, even to his closest asso-
ciates, of what he is thinking or planning to do is a result of special
instructions from London . . . Many of the high officials of the Gov-
ernment are greatly irritated by the new policy . . . The five-point
plan of some of these officials suggests the disbanding of the Hagan-
ah, the dissolution of the Jewish Agency, improving relations with
moderate Jews, preventing immigration of any Jew under the age of
50, and developing better security methods . . . Some officials have
also suggested that he ex-Mufti, who is now in exile in Egypt, be
allowed to return to Palestine ... They argue that he now has power
without responsibility and that his power will remain even if he is
kept out of Palestine . . . In fact, they express the opinion that he
may one day become the "dictator of the Arab world" ... They stress
the fact that at the moment the ex-Mufti enjoys all the prestige and
influence of a leader among the Arabs in Palestine, without the dis-
advantages of responsibility . . . His picture is flashed on the screen
in Arab movie houses in Palestine amid wild cheers and his photo
can be seen in many Arab dwellings and offices.

Tragic Sabbath Nahamu
A new Tisha b'Ab was enacted in Palestine last week. It began
with British vengeance and ended with British vengeance. It opened
with the hanging of three Irgunists, was aggravated by the stupidly
and criminal act of the Irgun who in turn hanged two British ser-
geants, and inspired the dastardly retaliatory attacks upon innocent
Jews in Tel Aviv by English constables.
The Sabbath Nahamu that followed provided very little consola-
tion from misery. It was a horrible day for Palestine Jewry, the over-
whelming majority of whom reject extremism and desire to live in
peace. And the days that followed were frightful ones for the Jews
of England.
But the 'Irgun—whose destructive work unfortunately accomp-
lishes the aspirations of the anti-Semitic British, anti-Zionist Arabs
and the vindictive Council for Judaism—continues to inspire trouble,
fear and war.
Haganah, too, has spoken. Its leaders have indicated clearly that
whatever tasks the organization pursues will be directed. towards
bringing Jews to Palestine, but not to resort to kidnapings, hold-ups,
unholy battles against their neighbors.
The Irgun has seen fit to ignore the appeals of the leaders of
Palestine Jewry to refrain from murdering innocent boys. The crimes
of
the
British do not justify OUR stooping to crime. Perhaps the
rent levels, and operation of the
Mayor of Nathanya was wrong when he said Irgun has destroyed

Of ‘Tzedakah' While Vacationing

the arts and crafts shop and made
40 dolls to be shipped to Cyprus
and 42 kimonos and 12 friendship
bags which were sent to children
in Palestine.
After a Tisha b'Ab program at
which the problems of European
survivors were discussed, the
group sent telegrams to President
Truman, Senator Vanderberg and
Senator Ferguson, urging their
support of the Stratton Bill for
DP immigration. Mesdames Leah
Boyaner, Rose Levitt and Sarah
Moore are members of the com-
mittee which helped carry out
these projects..
Camp Chelsea is under the di-
rection of Samuel Neuschatz, a
member of the staff of the Jew-
ish Community Center. Mrs.
Jeanette Katz directs adult pro-
gramming at the camp, while arts
and crafts projects are directed
by Mrs. Blossom Neuschatz.
The Jewish tradition of "Tzed-
akah" or "righteousness" has not
been forgotten by the women
who are vacationing this summer
at Camp Chelsea.
Despite the fact that the camp,
sponsored by the Jewish Com-
munity Center, a Red Feather
Agency, endeavors to have the
women forget their city responsi-
bilities for a brief rest, a group of
40 women conducted a series, of
charitable projects during their
July vacations.
Under the leadership of Mes-
dames Clara Eisenberg, Lena
Zager and Rose Jaffe, contribu-
tions totalling $50 were collected
for the Child Rescue Fund of the
Pioneer Women's Organizations.
As a result of a discussion on
the plight of Jewish DPs, another

Home Auxiliary
Treats Residents
At Lawn Party
The annual picnic sponsored
for the residents of the Jewish
Home for the Aged by the ,Wo-
men's Auxiliary of the Home was
held this year in the form of a
lawn party on the Home grounds.
Entertainment and refresh-
ments were provided by a com-
mittee consisting of Mesdames J.
Rose, chairman; T. Meer, S. Zel-
des, M. Newman, M. Bashan, L.
Halperin and S. Weller, presi-
dent of the auxiliary.
Many residents assisted with
the program, including Sam Bar-
nett, who played Russian and
Jewish songs on the clarinet; Ab-
raham Meltzer, who sang Russian
songs; Mrs. Jennie Camiener, who
sang Jewish and Russian songs,
and Abraham Glassman, who
sang a Yiddish song.
Russian shers and kasatskas
were danced by the residents and
,
can Bishop's presentation and since many Jews had and still were
to make .appearances, "Saturday has been the logical day off in the
schedule of meetings."
Apparently this logical explanation has not satisfied those who
are deeply concerned about their immediate religious feelings. It is
one of the many problems which has caused the Palestinian situa-
tion to emerge as one of the most complicated in international affairs. ;

"Legal" and "Illegal"
Babies
The South African Zionist Record recently carried the following
interesting bit of information:
"Illegal" immigrants' babies born in the Cyprus camps are
British by birth. Over SO British birth certificates have already
been issued for such cases, who nevertheless need special immi-
gration certificates for entry into Palestine.
Babies born to refugees detained in Palestinian detention
camps pending their release under the immigration quota are
considered legal Palestinians and do not need special immigra-
tion certificates as do their parents.
Never before did a similar item explain the popular phrase,
"confusion worse confounded," better than does this one. It is inter-
esting for its absence of any semblance of humanitarianism.
