Primacy • of Jewish
Studies Accepted
By All Jews in US
NEW YORK (JTA)—The pri-
macy of Jewish education is
recognized by all elements of
American Jewry, a study pub-
lished by the Institute for Jewish
Affairs of the World Jewish Con-
gress, establishes.
The study shows that over 200
Jewish school buildings have
been erected during the past few
years. Enrollment in Jewish
schools has risen to 350,000, as
contrasted with only 240,000 in
1947. • The number of all-day
schools reached approximately
170 during 1954, with a total -en-
rollment of over 30,000. students.
As of October, 1954, Hebrew was
included in the language pro-
gram of 71 secondary schools in
12 American cities.
In Mexico, which has the finest
Jewish educational system quali-
tatively and quantitatively of all
Latin American countries, the
Jewish School of Mexico City

1954 by introducing several pro-
gressive innovations, the study .
reports. There was no percep-
tible growth in Jewish educa-
tion in European countries during.
1954, but significant gains were
recorded in New Zealand and
South Africa, it points out.
An important development in
Jewish' education in the United
States during the past year, the
survey indicates, is the applica-
tion of audio-visual aids to Jew-
ish education, both on the juve-
nile and adult level. The produc-
tion of film and tape recordings
increased considerably , during
1954.
Turning to literature, scholar-
ship and publications, the study
notes that Hebrew literature has
its natural center in Israel, and
the demand for Hebrew books
in 1954 was greater than ever
before. Israel now has about 60
publishing houses. Of the books
being published, approximately
60 percent are translations from
foreign languages, and the bal-
ance are original works.
Commenting on developments
in the realm of Yiddish litera-
ture, the report declares that out-
put was "quite good with regard
to quantity; however, the , num-
ber of books of great literary
value was rather small." The Yid-
dish theatre continued its decline
not only in the United States, but
also in Argentina, Brazil and
Europe,

State Dept. Booklet
Backs Byroade Stand
By DAVID HOROWITZ
The Department of State has
just issued a new booklet in
which it plays up and justifies
Henry A. Byroade's anti-Israel
stand. Titled ` 111. S. Policy In the
Near East, South Asia and Ai-
rica-1954," the booklet devotes
a whole section of "The Prob-
lems of Palestine" where refer-
ences are made to Byroade's in-
famous addresses before the
Dayton World Affairs Council on
April 9, 1954, and the American
Council for Judaism at Philadel-
phia on May 1 . . . The U. S.
booklet republished this part
from Byroade's speech: "To the
Israelis I say that you should
come to truly look upon your-
selves as a Middle Eastern state
and see your own future in that
context rather than as a head-
quarters, or nucleus so t6 speak,
of worldwide groupings of
peoples of a particular religious
faith who must have special
rights within and obligations to
the Israeli state. You should drop
the attitude of the conquerer and
the conviction that force and a
policy of retaliatory killings is
the only policy that your neigh-
bors will understand. You should
make your deeds correspond to
your frequent utterances' of the
desire for peace . . ." So spoke
Byroade who is presently the U. -
S. spokesman in the Land of the
Nile whose Foreign Minister
Fawzi this week compared the
U. S. to an Al Capone gangster

tions . . . Dr. Izzat Tannous, Sec-
retary-General of the Arab Pales-
tine office in Beirut, announced
this week that the motto for the
new Palestine. Refugee Office in
New York will be the New Testa-
ment passage: "Ye shall know the
truth and the truth shall make
you free."
