Describing the decision of the United Nations for the
establishment of the Jewish state as an inevitable situation re-
sulting from the development of a de facto Jewish common-
wealth already in existence as a result of long years of con-
structive efforts, Maurice Samuel, eminent author and lec-
turer, declared at the luncheon meeting of the Detroit
Palestine Histadrut (Gewerk-
shaften) Committee, Dec. 18, at
the Book Cadillac Hotel that by
carrying on the tasks so well
done the implementation of the
state will be fully realized.
Mr. Samuel stated that Histad-
rut—the Jewish Federation of
Labor in Palestine—is the core
of the Palestine structure, and he
asserted that "if we swerve from
the old methods pursued by His-
tadrut we shall be following a
will-'o-the-wisp policy that must
be avoided."
they are being converted for con-
structive purposes and integrated
into a healthy life. He declared
that the Irgun claim that "only
thus"—"rak kach"—through the
gun, can Palestine be built is a lie
and that while defense is an in-
tegral part of work in Palestine,
it is not the only way.
Must ,Broaden Work
"That's why the work of His-
tadrut must be broadened as fast
as possible," he said. "We must
increase our activities ten-fold by

estine as far back as 1906 when
Histadrut laid the foundation for
Haganah through the formation
of the Shomrim; that the policy
that has lasted for the 41 years
of the existence of the recognized
defense movement has been Hav-
lagah — restraint; defense but
never attack; avoidance of indis •
criminate reprisals. He declared
that such a policy has proven wise
- statesmanship based on morality
acid that it avoided the troubles
which the Effendis—the rich land-
owners—of Palestine sought to
create in the riots of 1922, 1929
and 1936.

The Mufti's 'Game'
"The Arab masses never felt
like fighting for the effendis, they
were not inclined- to exchange the
overlordship of Turkey for that
of the effendis and they refused
to rise against the Jews- at the
beck and call of the effendis," he
declared. "The game of the Mufti
has been to embroil Jews and
Arabs in an ever-widening ven-
detta. But Haganah has followed
the right; policy of Havlagah, of
self-discipline, of restraint, and
has carried out that policy under
difficult circumstances. Only the
followers of the Revisionists have
pursue a policy of reprisals."
Mr. Samuel said that "an at-
tempt has been made to embroil
us with the British after the
hanging of two British sergeants,
When British soldiers attacked
Jews in Tel Aviv killing five, but
the Jews would not be provoked
into such a fatal step." .
`Moishe Machiavellis'
Declaring that Haganah IS His-
tadrut, Mr. Samuel deplored the
fact that the Irgun derives its
strength from a small group of
American Jews who, unknowing-
ly, support the terrorists. He re-
ferred to the terrorists as "Moishe
TvIachiavellis," and he warned
that "it is dangerous to lend your
support to any causes and you
.roust discriminate against those
who do us harm, and are divi-
sive."
"We face in Palestine the su-
preme test of Havlagah," he said,
"and we must not attack at ran-
dom. Unless national discipline is
obeyed all our problems will be
trebled."
. Pointing to the difficulties in-
volved in the creation of a Jewish
state—the selection of personnel,
the making of a constitution, the
setting up of a government—Mr.
Samuel warned of the difficulties
involved in bringing 70,000 new
settlers to Palestine each year.
He pointed out that those to be
settled are broken, destitute peo-
ple who must be "recreated
physically, mentally, morally,"
and asserted that "it is being done
in Histadrut colonies,' where
