Jews of. Libya Are
In State of Terror

"Libya's Jews
ROME (JTA)
are today living' in an -atmos-
phere of terror," Dr. Raffaele
Cantoni, president of the Union
of Italian Jewish Communities,
repOrted. here Monday. ,"Any.rti-
mor, any threat - uttered •.bY. even
a. small Arab boy, sends the Jews
in panic-stricken terror to the
ghetto which they had abandon-
ed during' the Italian administra
tion, but where they feel safer
now, because the old Jewish
quarter is easier to defend- from
Arab attack," he added.
Dr. Cantoni said he had ob-
tained confidential information
concerning a statement issued in
1946 by the president of the Jew-
ish communities of Libya ex-
pressing "full solidarity" with
the • aims of the Libyan Unity
Party,. a member organization of
the Arab League. He also re-
called that several days after the
statement was issued, Zionist
youth .grOups in Libya announc-
ed their affiliation With the same
Arab organization.
"From confidential sources,"
Dr. Cantoni declared, it has been
established that "this statement
(and the subsequent announce-
ment by the Jewish youth
groups) was made under the sev-
erest . moral pressure, under
threats, allurements and black-
mail and under the increasing
fear of a repetition of an even
pogrom

in which 130 Jews lost their
lives."

Freedom's Voice

By MRS. WALTER FARBER

Though cloudy - is the present hour,
The spark grows not dim,
Like perpetual motion
The want—the love of freedom
Never wears thin.
The Metronome of Freedom beats on!

Freedom's need is always.
Should sinking hearts appear,
Swiftly progresses defeat,
• Dejection, fear.
We can afford it not,
Or tolerate.
The -Metronome of Freedom must
beat on!
