Slawson Attributes Return
Of Nazism to U. S. Policy

vast majority of them wish to go
to Palestine," he continued.
"All of the DPs want to leave
Germany for places where they
can reconstitute their lives on a
normal basis."
The liberal tradition is alive
in France, Dr. Slawson declared,
calling that country the most
hopeful sample of what western
Europe might accomplish in the
field of protection of minorities.
"No basic anti-Semitism exists
in France," he said," and the
many leaders, Jewish and non-
Jewish, with whom I talked,
assured me there was no sembl-
ance of anti-Semitism. T h e
French have been most helpful
in the displaced persons problem
and most generous within the
limits of their curtailed resour-
ces."
Basing itself on the hopeful as-
pects of the situation in France,
Dr. Slawson said, the American
Jewish Committee wishes to help
the Jews of western Europe who-
want to stay there. While in
Paris, Dr. Slawson -opened the
Committee's office there, which
will launch a program of civic
defense and cultural aid to the
Jews of Europe, North Africa
and the Middle East.

11 Arab Organfr.ations Ask
People Ignore Provocations

NEW YORK, (JTA) — T h e
charge that U. S. authorities in
the American occupation zone of
Germany have failed to organize
the democratic forces there and
that Nazism and racism are on
the increase, was made- by Dr.
John Slawson, executive vice-
president of the American Jewish
Committee, upon his return from
Europe where he visited Germany,
France and England in behalf of
his organization.
Speaking at a press conference,
Dr. Slawson said that anti-Semi-
tism in the U. S. zone of Germany
is "overt and active" and is re-
flected "in many forms." He
warned that U. S. troops in Ger-
many, far from carrying out a
program of democratization
among the Germans, were being
"educated in reverse" and that,
unless "more potent" educational
methods are employed and more
resources are made available by
Congress for this purpose, Na-
zism, racism, and the concept of
the "Herrenvolk" would spread.
The displaced persons, Dr.
Slawson said, are a world prob-
lem, and the world has not yet
recognized that they are a poten-
tial asset. "Vigorous young peo-
ple in the depressing, artificial
- environment of the DP camps are
engaged in trade training and a
very active cultural, educational
and religious life," he stated.
"They have a great deal of in-
itiative and real creative impulse
and they are only waiting for an
opportunity to express their will
to live.
"There is no question that the
