Discussion Is Deadlock

A group of educators last night
found it hard to draw the line be-
tween education and propaganda
and finally wound up by not draw
ing any line at all.
The occasion was panel discus
sion at the Sidwell Friends School
sponsored by the Progressive Edu-
cation Association of Washington
Discussion followed an address by
DR.. Hadley Cantrill of Princeton
University, former president of the
Institute for Propaganda Analysis
DR., Cantrill distinguished between
the educator and the propagandist
by saying the educator tries to COM
pare basic assumptions while the
propaganda shuns comparison and
puts forward only those postulates
OF which he is the champion.
Much OF the panel discussion took
up the ability of the educator to be
objective without being neutral A
variation of viewpoints and the de-
termination of the panelists to be
objective prevented any summary of
the opinions expressed.
Speakers included Chester Will
liams, director of the forum project
OF the United States Office of Edu-
cation; DR.. S. H. Britt of George
Washington University, Phillip
Booth, employe of the Social Secur-
ity Board; Herman Duncan, former
professor of psychology now en-
gagged in research into propaganda
during the World War; Robert w

Britoin's Plan Stirring
Great Interest in India
BY Radio to The Star.

DS 10 1ne star.
CALCUTTA, May 12.-Through-
out India interest is running high in
the announcement and reception of
Great Britain's 10-year plan for
Palestine. AS release from British
rule is the fondest hope of most In
dlanS, any weakening of British con-
troll elsewhere stimulates the inde-
pendence urge here. Some Indian
newspapers splashed the Palestinian
plan in bigger headlines than King
Georges arrival and tour in Canada.
London's Palestine plan is espe-
clally interesting to the newly
formed forward bloc" in the Indian
National Congress, which has grown
impatient with Gandhian modera-
ton and Is advocating a showdown
with Britain while the latter is up
to its neck in Europe.
Despite the resignation from the
presidency of the Congress under
pressure of Gandhites, Subhas
Chandra Bose. leader of the Posi-
twists, is continuing his campaign
to enlist popular support for his
program. He is touring the coun-
try urging an ultimatum to the
British government, demanding i'm
mediate independence.
However, Gandhi remains con-
ciliatory, and it must be admitted
that Bose's voice is only a whisper
to the public alongside that of the
Mahatma.

Court Asked to Review
Ruling on Licenses

Carrying their fight over licensing

Appeals, w. w. Chambers, Wash

cials today asked the appellate court
to review a recent, ruling of Justice
Jennings Bailey.
Mr.. Chambers and the District
government Jointly appealed from
a ruling handed down in District
Court March 26, in which Justice
Bailey held that an ambulance is
hot passenger vehicle for hire and
thus does not have to carry COM
mercial tags, but that limousines do
come within the licensing regula-
tions covering vehicles for hire.
The government appealed from
the first part of the ruling. Mr..
Chambers, through Attorney
Joseph B Danzansky and William
R. Lichtenberg, held the court had
erred in requiring limousines to
have commercial tags.

Rabbi Wise Foresees
Peaceful Resistance

NEW YORK, May 20 tP,.-Rabbi
Stephen S, Wise, vice president OF
the Zionist organization in America
said at press conference yesterday
There will be resistance" to Great
Britain's new Palestine plan out
lined in its white paper.
But resistance" he said, docs
not necessarily mean violence"
1t will be something approximate
ing Gandhi's policy of passive re-
sistance, of non-co-operation, in
India.
In a prepared statement Rabbi
Wise called the British white paper
IAN illegal document" said that it
was contrary to the evidence of
development in Palestine" that it
ignores history" and spells death
to the last hope of a homeless
people"
And, finally, he said, American
Jews will give every support to the
Jews OF Palestine in going forward
with the rebuilding of the Jewish
homeland in Palestine, regarding the
new white paper as no more perma-
nent than the white papers which
preceded it."
DR.. Wise was asked what he en-
vlsaged as homeland That, he
said, included the right of entry,
the right to purchase land, and the
right to build up a system of life
by Jews in manner unfettered by
other influences.
Asked what he thought Britain
would do in the event of a war be-
tween Germany and England, he

Mr.. Budd, an accountant who
came here recently from Florida,
said he suspects youth whom he
befriended in the South and whom
he saw in Washington several days

pledged to declare war as soon as
the territory of the other has been
invaded, settles the question as re-
CARDS France. 1t remains for Brit
ain to toe the same line as France.
Third, to believe that Gen. Fran
cos benevolence might prove ade-
quate compensation to England and
France for the fact that Russia S
help would not be available in a war
begun by the western democracies to
protect Switzerland. Belgium and
Holland is sheer nonsense. The sus-
plclon may be entertained that Mr.
chamberlain does not want to be
tied by an all-around alliance with
Russia in Western as well as Eastern
Europe because the prospect of a
Russia entitled to make her voice
heard about all questions affecting
peace and war is repellent to him.
But would not Russia left alone in
her remote corner, having retained
unrestricted freedom of movement,
prove much more dangerous than a
Russia bound by a definite contract?
French Staff Not So Sure.
In the spirit of that query the
Turkish rulers remarked to the
French Gen. Weygand the other
week that the men most apprehen-
sive of Communism ought to wish
the Red army would participate in a
European war in its early stage, and
not quietly contemplate the posi-
bility of the Red army retaining all
its strength while the other great
European armies would have been
at grips for many weeks or months
and spent good deal of their vigor
Fourth, as to France and Britain
being able to discharge their obli-
cations toward Poland and Ru.
mania even without Russia, the
French general staff does not ex-
press itself with the same assurance
as Mr.. Chamberlain.
Fifth, it is not true that the
Polish government now would look
askance at too close Anglo-French-
Russian cooperation. 1t is now
we'll ahead of the British cabinet on
the subject of relations with Russia
as it has become keenly alive to the
requirements of the situation.
Rumania, it is true, is differently
inclined. But Runanias very dubi-
GUS policy between Germany and
Russia ought not to be allowed to
overrule the Franco British de-
fensive system. 1t can be said that
during his recent stay in Bucha-
rest, Gen. Weygand was very un-
favorably impressed by what King
Carol and members of the cabinet
had to tell him about the compare
tive gravity Of the German and
Russian menaces. They appeared
to be quite in disharmony with the
trend of ideas obtaining In Paris
and London.

Palestine Is Calm,
But Jews Press
Economic Boycott
Non-Co-operotion Is Seen
More Effective Than
Arab Revolt
BY the Associated Press,


JERUSALEM, May 20.-Beneath
the outward appearance of at least
temporary calm in the Holy Land,
Jews were busy today with details
OF economic measures with which
they hope to give expression to their
protest against the latest British
plan for Palestine.
Jews argued that the Intangible
aspect of their projected boycott
made it more likely to be an effec-
tive way of registering dissatisfac-
ton with the plan to give Arabs
dominance in Palestine than was
revolt by the Arabs against Jewish
immigration.
In the Arab revolt, British au-
thorities had to deal with a few
thousand Arabs in the hills and ac-
completes in the city against which
troops might operate directly.
With the Jews undertaking ma
tional registration of able bodied
males and a general policy of nom
cooperation, the British were con-
fronted with manifestation against
which tanks, planes and infantry
are useless, except when brought
into play by disorder.
In addition, the Arabs still are
not satisfied, contending uncer-
talnty remains as to what Arabs are
to be accepted as representing their
people in the planned independent
state and whether they be truly rep
resentative.
The Householders' Association of
Rural and Urban Landowners in
formed the government they would
not pay taxes so long as the white
paper policy is effective" This was
