Gov. Dewey Stated . . . . " . . .
I have always felt the Jewish people are entitled to a
homeland hi Palestine which would be politically and economically stable. -My views have been
clearly expressed over the years and I did, indeed, approve the m'ajori report of the United
Nations Special Committee which recommended a partition of Palestine.
In my acceptance speech at Philadelphia, I pledged my whole-hearted support of the Republican
Platform and that certainly included the Palestine Plank. My position today is the same."
On October 22, 1948 in reply to a letter from Dean Alfange,
Chairman of the American Christian Palestine Committee of
New York—
When people think of Governor Dewey, they
are likely to think first of the position he has
taken on..such issues as national defense, farm
prices, taxes,' or foreign affairs. Too few under-
stand the man himself in terms of those human
and humanitarian interests which, as a matter of
fact, color everything he does. For deep down
in the basic make-up of this man is an honest
passion for simple justice—a decent opportunity
for everyone, in every department of life and in
every part of the world.
There is no need to cite in
detail all the public posi-
tions which Torn Dewey
has taker!, along these lines.
. . . the bold stand which from the start he took
IN WORDS BACKED
BY DEEDS...
in favor of modifying U. S. irrimigration laws to
permit our fair share of the displaced persons
of Europe to sOtle in America and rebuild their
shattered lives here.

.. the vigor with which he devoted himself to
the setting up of a State University in New York
to provide college educations for the vast num-
ber of those who would otherwise have to be

deprived of one.
.. the impartiSlity with which, even years ago,,
he selected his staff of assistant district attorneys
from all classes and segments of New York City's
population.
. . . the forcefulness with which he has insisted
that the new State of Israel be recognized by
the U. S. Government as an independent nation
and a member of the United Nations.
