Immigrant Groups
Pledge Loyalty
To United States

NEW YORK (JTA)-A pledge
of unconditional loyalty" to the
American Government and people
has been sent to "the competent
authorities" by the Immigrants
Conference 1889, which represents
more than Is organizations of i'm
migrants of all nationalities, races
and creeds who had to leave Eu-
rope because of the National Soci-
alist and Fascist revolution.
The resolution said: "At time
when the inner and outer security
of the neutral countries is seri-
ously threatened, the Conference
wishes to express its unconditional
loyalty to the Government of the
United States and to the American
people in the name of it's affili-
ated organizations and their in
dividual members.
"T he Immigrants Conference
considers the adherence to Ameri-
can principles as a basis for the
new life of the immigrant who
has to show his gratitude for the
equal rights which he enjoys in
the United States by his loyal atti-
tude towards the government and
the people of the United States.
"Abstaining from any interior
ence in the foreign and domestic
policies of the United States, the
organizations united in the Immi-
grants Conference 1889 recognize
the principles of democracy such
as they are laid down in the Con-
Stitution of the U tie d States.
They decline to maintain any con-
nection whatsoever with the gov
ernments of their countries of orr
gin and they reject any kind of
dictatorship no matter of what
political color. All these organiza-
tons are under obligation to keep
their own ranks clear of all doubt
full elements. They are determined
and ready to participate in the de-
tense and protection of the demo-
cratic principles and institutions
of the United States at any time
wherever they may be placed and
whenever the people and the Gov
eminent of the United States will
call upon them"

The text of the statement in
part is as follows:
Palestine is now irrevocably

listed the sympathy and support
of the entire American people.
'The Emergency Committee is
in a position to state that COM

WAR IN THE MEDITERRA-
MEAN
By MILTON sROWN. J.T.A.

NGkA1V
The sword of DamOcles which
has been hanging above the Medi-
terranean has finally fallen. Italy's
entry into the war has carried the
conflict to the Near East, mean
ing, among other things, tn a
Palestine is potentially threatened.
Mussolini has chosen the mo-
ment when he considers he will
meet minimum of resistance to
seek control of Mare Nostrum.
While it is believed that Palestine
is not Immediately endangered, the
possibility Of an attack on the
Holy Land must be reckoned with,
and Palestine is taking complete
precautions.
The ports of Jaffa and Tel Aviv
have been declared military zones
from which civilians are barred,
except by special permission. Air
raid shelters have been arranged
in Haifa. A special Jewish con-
stabulary of 1000 men is being
formed. Censorship has been tight
ened and nationwide blackOut
from 7:45 p. M. is in effect.
So far as the Jews are concerned,
there are other aspects to Italy's
entry into the war. There is the
danger to the 10000 Italian Jews
and the more than 1000 refugees
from. persecution who.- were
trapped in Italy. The refugees
faced. the possibility. Of being
turned over to Germany, and the
resident Jews were alarmed over
the rapid rise of anti-Jewish agi-
tatlon as a part of the program of
creating a war spirit in Italy.
Furthermore, the Mediterranean
is closed as an outlet for emigra-
tlOn of Jewish refugees, making
necessary long and arduOus route
through Soviet Russia, the Far
East and the Pacific.
