PaleAine 'Documentary' Exposed

and the British did not bear
witness against themselves.
The terrible truth is that
the British government
adhered to their White
Paper even though it con-
tributed to the massacres of
the Holocaust.

Allied Guilt
in Holocaust

lo

ri ruay, raw uar y i, nn 4 i4

From 1939 on, the world
knew that the Germans
were planning to exter-
minate all Jews —
men, women and chil-
dren. Refugee conferences
were held. Jewish organiza-
tions asked for negotiations
with the Axis to obtain the
release of the Jews in
Europe and to promote the
dispatch of food parcels to
__ ghettos and concentration
camps where they were
systematically
being
started to death. The dele-
gates refused to discuss
these proposals.
According to the British
historian Malcolm Hay,
"The British Foreign Office
and the American State De-
partment knew how the
Jews could be saved. They
knew that the Germans
could be bribed, that they
were willing to sell Jewish
lives for Allied money. But
the Allies would not pay the
price, the comparatively
trifling. sum the Germans
were ready to accept $2 to
$10 for a life. The children,
hundreds -of thousands of
children, could have been
redeemed at any time, at
the cost of a few million dol-
lars."
Cordell Hull, the Secret-
ary of State at that time,
wrote in his memoirs, "The
Germans permitted Jews to
leave only when they were
amply paid to do so. We
were reluctant to deposit
sums of money to the credit
of the Nazis, even though
the deposits were to be made
in Switzerland, were to be
liquidated only after the
war, and apparently could
not be used by -the Nazi
leaders."

The British Foreign Of-
fice shared the reluc-
tance of the American
State Department — even
after precautions had
been taken ensuring the
money could not help the
enemy — precautions
that were sufficient to
satisfy the British Minis-
try of Economic Warfare.
The British Foreign Of-
fice, according to the
American Secretary of
Treasury Henry Morgen-
thau, still withheld permis-
sion when it became known
that ". . . 4,000 children be-
tween the ages of two and 14
had been taken from their
parents in France and de-
ported in sealed trains,
locked in windowless box
cars, 60 to a car, without
adult escort, without food,
water or hygienic provi-
sions . ."
According to Secretary
Morgenthau, "On Dec. 17,
1943, the State Department
received a cable from Lon-
don . . . 'The Foreign Office
is concerned with the diffi-
culty of disposing of any

considerable number of
Jews should they be re-
leased from enemy territ-
ory.'"
Such indifference to the
fate of Jewry among offi-
cials in key positions, both
in Britain and America,
obstructed and fatally de-
layed every attempt at re-
scue. British officials have
said, "But what shall we do
with them" and Mr. Randall
of the British Foreign Office
asked Mr. Shertok, "Where
should we be if the Germans
should dump a million Jews
on us?"
_Malcolm Hay, the
British historian, say,
"It is not surprising that
the apparent reluctance
of the Allies to take any
action to help the Jews
until they had nearly all
been murdered encour-
aged the Germans to be-
lieve their own method of
dealing with the Jewish
problem met with the
secret approval of hu-
manity .... No ,country
would take them in ...
They did not fit into the
world of the Allied pow-
ers ... nor was there a
place for them in the new
world that Hitler was
making ...
"A young soldier from
Scotland, one of the first re-
scuers to arrive at Bergen
Belsen in 1945, was walk-
ing to a nearby German vil-
lage the day after the camp
had been liberated. He saw
by the roadside the dead
bodies of three civilians; all
three had been shot in the
back of the neck. He asked a
German woman at the vil-
lage inn who these three
people were.
"She replied, 'They are
men who fell out from the
convoy which passed here a
few days ago.' Why were
they shot?' enquired the
soldier. 'What else could be
done with them?' asked the
woman; 'they were Jews.' "
The British closed the
gates of Palestine and- let
the Jews perish. That is the
fact — but that is not what
Channel 56 TV told in that
documentary on Palestine.

The Final Blows
from the British

That is not the end of the
false record provided by the
program called "Palestine."
After the General Assembly
of the United Nations
sanctioned the establish-
ment of a Jewish state in
part of Palestine the British
government did what they
could to have the newly-
born Jewish state de-
stroyed. The record of
British actions during that
period has been sum-
marized by Hans J. Morgen-
thau, professor of political
science at the University of
Chicago:
. . . Great Britain has,
however gone beyond mere
non-cooperation. It has done
what it was able, short of
taking up arms, to make the
execution of the recommen-
dations of the General As-
sembly impossible. To that
end Great Britain con-
tinued to send arms to the
Arab states adjacent to
Palestine, while at the same

CC

time preventing arms from
reaching Palestine.
"Furthermore, it refused
to recognize the right of the
Palestinian Jews to arm
themselves during the
transition period from
British rule to actual parti-
tion. Finally, Great Britain
did not allow . . . to establish
provisional agencies of gov-
ernment before the actual
end of British rule."
It seemed inevitable that
the soldiers of the six Arab
states, armed with modern
weapons of war, some
trained , and led by British
officers and German Nazis,
would immediately drive
the trembling Jews — who
the British had disarmed
before they left — into the
sea. Six thousand Jews lost
their lives defending their
land. It was a near thing
that the story of 3,000 years
did not end in a final mas-
sacre.

New Chomsky Book Published

NEW YORK — Noam
Chomsky, Ferrari P. Ward
Professor of Linguistics at
the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology, has just pub-
lished "Language and Re-
sponsibility, (Pantheon)" an
exploration of the key issues
in modern linguistics as
well as a portrait of the au-
thor's political, moral and
linguistic thinking.
Chomsky is known as a
controversial political ac-
tivist and a critic of the
American political scene.
He is the creator of the
theory of generative
grammar.
Originally published in
French in the form of
dialogues with linguist Mit-
sou Ronat, "Language and
Responsibility" begins with
a discussion of the relation-
ship between linguistics
and politics, and the role of
American intellectuals in
formulating and maintain-
ing the dominance of a par-
ticular ideology.
Prof. Chomsky offers
an examination and
assessment of diverse re-
cent and current political
issues, including the
American peace move-
ment, Watergate, the CIA
and FBI, radical groups,
Russian dissidents and
U.S. foreign policy.
In Part Two, Chomsky
presents a non-technical in-
troduction to the history of
generative grammar, and
discusses the issues, con-
troversies,
and_
which have infuenced
