leaders during his recent
U.S. visit.
Meeting at Blair House in
Washington, D.C., King
Hassan said he saw no prob-
lem about the unification of
Jerusalem but could not
understand why it must
necessarily be the capital of
Israel.
Mecca is not the capital of
Saudi Arabia, he said. Its
spiritual quality protects it
from the political con-
troversies which are related
to the capital of a country.
In any event, he said, since
we have a common father,
Abraham, and are cousins,
we should have no difficulty
finding a just solution to
that problem.
He appeared rather op-
timistic about the peace
outcome, pleaded for pa-
tience, an active sort of
patience, which avoids
discouragement and
frustration if the issues
are not immediately re-
solved.
Prof. William Haber of
Ann Arbor was among the
Jewish leaders at the meet-
ing, which included the
presidents of Bnai Brith,
the American Jewish
Committee, the Conference
of Presidents of Major
American Jewish Organ-
izations, Hadassah, the
American Jewish Congress,
the American Jewish Joint
Distribution Committee
and the World Jewish Con-
gress.
Prof. Haber told The
Jewish News that it was dif-
ficult for him to evaluate
the meeting, but thought
that it was worthwhile to
show the king that the
Thoughts on Thanksgiving
By DAVID SCHWARTZ
(Copyright 1978, JTA, Inc.)
Americans don't eat
latkes or blintzes on
Thanksgiving, but perhaps -
they should. It has been said
that the Pilgrim Fathers
took the idea from the Suk-
kot festival. At any rate,
originally Thanksgiving
Day was celebrated in Oc-
tober, closer to the time of
Sukkot.
The Pilgrim Fathers had
their Thanksgiving in Oc-
tober and this continued to
be the day of its celebration
in New England until the
Civil War, when President
Lincqln proclaimed it a na-
tional holiday and the date
was then set for the last
Thursday in November.
Instead of blintzes or
latkes, the Pilgrim Fathers
had pumpkin pie. They held
quite an eating feast but the
festival lasted only three
days, not a whole week like
Sukkot.
There seems to be no
record of their enjoying
turkey, however. An-
other strange thing about
the Pilgrims is that they
didn't know they were
Pilgrims. It was not until
almost two centuries
later that the name Pil-
grims was attached to
them.
They looked upon them-
selves as refugees and im-
migrants. They were reli-
gious dissenters and refor-
mers and King James per-
secuted them and drove
them out of the country and
they first fled to Holland.
ILO Director
Praises Israel
JERUSALEM (JTA) —
Bertal Bolin, the director
general of the International
Labor Organization (ILO),
lauded the labor laws in Is-
rael, praising its educa-
tional programs for workers
and assistance to develop-
ing nations.
Bolin, who is visiting Is-
rael, noted that the interna-
tional labor community
admired Israel, both be-
cause of its labor laws and
because it did not leave the
ILO following its 1974 rul-
ing which denounced Is-
rael's policies in the occu-
pied territories.
American Jewish leader-
ship was united on the issue
of Jerusalem.
He also thought it was
helpful for the letders to
indicate their appreciation
for Hassan's initiative in
the Middle East peace ef-
forts and for the work of
JDC and ORT being carried
on in Morocco without gov-
ernment interference.

They were treated well
there, enjoying freedom of
religion, but they were not
satisfied.
Maybe, they said to them-
selves, we'd better go to
America or they will never
have Thanksgiving and
what will become of the
pumpkin pie? The fact is
they were Zionists of a sort.
They didn't speak Dutch
and feared their children
would be estranged from
them. They wanted to
preserve their English iden-
tity..
Also, there was the dif-
ficult problem of employ-
ment. In fact, the majority
of those in the Mayflower
were economically rather
than religiously motivated.
There was much unem-
ployment in the Old World
and it was hard to make a
living. One of the Pilgrim
Fathers wrote:
"There is such pressure
and oppresion in town
and country about farms,
trade, as a man can
hardly set up a trade but
he shall pull down two of
his neighbors. The rent-
taker lives on sweet mor-
sels, but the rent payer
eats a dry crust." Mul-
titudes, he went on to say,
live by begging. "Even
the most wise, sober and
discreet men go to the
wall when they have
done their best."
The same economic mo-
tive, of course, has brought
to America the hundreds of
Pilgrims since that day.
