'Jewish Claim
to Palestine Datei
to July 24, 1922'
Editor, The Jewish News:
Your leading editorial for Nov.
13 was on the "good will" of the
Balfour Declaration celebrated
Nov. 2.
It should also be pointed out that
this represented only scaffolding.
Legally and practically, the more
important - date is July 24. In 1922,
on that day, certain rights of the
Jewish people were embodied into
international law by the adoption
.of the Palestine Mandate of the
League of Nations.
Thereby "the historical connec-
tion of the Jewish people with Pal-
estine" provided "grounds for re-
constituting their national home in
that country."
Machinery for achieving this re-
sult and a "mandatory" role for
Britain were set up.
(The almost universal reference
to the "Balfour Declaration" and
to the "British Mandate" minimizes
the Jewish claim on the internation-
al conscience and law.)
Article 80 of the United Nations
Charter provided for the continua-
tion of the terms of the Palestine
Mandate and the rights of the Jew-
ish people thereunder.
Thus, Senator J. W. Fulbright is
wrong saying that "Israel was le-
gally initiated by the United Na-
tions."
Apparently, he was also unaware
of the oast formal commitments of
the United States to the Palestine
Mandate. The United States, not a
league member, was bound by sol-
emn treaty to the terms of the
mandate.
The Anglo-American Treaty of
Dec. 3, 1924 on Palestine Is
glossed over by State Depart.
ment Interpretation, but U. S.
representatives cited it on appro-
priate occasions before United
Nations bodies, and President
Truman, in a letter in Oct. 1947
to King 1bn Saud, stated the U.S.
policy on Palestine in terms In-
dicated by this treaty.
In 1939, the majority of the
House Foreign Affairs Committee
and 28 senators, claimed Britain
was in violation of this treaty
when they issued regulations de-
signed to r ed uce the Jews to a per-
manent minority in Palestine.
However, this legal history is
completely omitted in a Senate
Foreign Relations publication
where it belongs.

Borman Hall Resident
Praises Staff Worker
Editor, The Jewish News:
I am one of the residents in
beautiful Borman Hall.
One of the social workers is
Mrs. Marsha Botkin, and it is
she that I want to compliment.
Last evening, for instance, we
were shown "The King and I"
with Yul Brynner and Deborah
Kerr, in lovely technicolor. And
Mrs. Botkin is responsible for all
the social activities (of which
there have been many) as of
late. She is a joy.
Sunday night we are going to
the Ford Auditorium for a con-
cert, and being taken there and
back by bus, courtesy bf the Wom-
en's Auxiliary, Jewish Home for
the Aged. The tickets are being
given to Mrs. Ira Sonnenblick.

Paper's Torch Drive Aid
Acknowledged by OF
Editor, The Jewish News:
In its most trying year, the Torch
Drive has once again gone com-
fortably over the top. Despite a
year-long economic slowdown, un-
employment, the General Motors
strike and the pressures of infla-
tion, this community has once
again asserted confidence in the
United Foundation - and its willing-
ness to care for its "own. And
backed them with $30,400,000.
Surely, the UF's success this
year must be attributed to com-
munication. Volunteer workers and
contributors must understand the
purposes and advantages of the
OF in order to respond with en-
thusiasm and generosity. Commu-
nication with workers and con-
tributors brought this vital under-
standing.
Your newspaper helped greatly
to bring about this understanding
by informing your readers about
the Torch Drive and the services
it supports.

Associate Director,
United Foundation.

ruary 1969 to encourage a commun_
ity of sharing, helping and broth-
erhood. Since then, its medical
service has treated 3,125 people—
more than 5,000 visits.
The Open City Switchboard, 831-

than 3,000 calls a week, as many
as 500 of a crisis nature. Callers
usually have medical, social, mari-
tal, suicidal or drug problems.
Some 7,000 people with drug-re-
lated problems have been coun-
seled. The legal committee has
counseled more than 4,000 cases.

THE BOOTERY PRESENTS
Open City needs contributions
and volunteers. Feeling that a
charge for services would defeat
its purpose, it asks supporters to
pledge a dollar a month to solve
the present debt and guarantee
continuation of community serv-
ices.
