recurrent pogroms. It has been
done with their own hands, hands
and backs that had to be trained
to break stones. After centuries
of a social inheritance that made
most Jews into lawyers, physi-
clans, other professionals or ira
ders they have gone back to the
land and shown what they can do
with soil, and human labor, sci
ence and organization applied to
it. And at the same time they are
rebuilding their race into hardy
individuals who can swing a pick
ak.
The Jewish cOlOnistS have been
the victims of organized terror
ism. Their colonies have to be con-
tinually defended. But their ans
Wer to terrorism has been to build
new colonies. There is a settle
ment called "The Five" which
is a memorial to five young jew
iSh workers shot from ambush by
Arab terrOrists. The reply was to
build a new settlement on the
scene of the murder-tO answer
terror by planting trees!
The form of social organization
of the colonies, which combines
private enterprise with communal
organization, is full of suggestion
for the whole world. The education
of the young colonists, preparing
them for a life on the land that
will be efficient, simple and yet
civilized, is worthy Of study and
emulation. It suggests things that
could be done in this country for
and by our unemployed youth.
But this activity, which is Gre
alive, this great drive to build
and reclaim a homeland out of
centuries of waste and abuse of
the land, is now to be halted, not
by the Arab, to whom the settle
mentS bring pattern of civiIiza-
ton which generation from now
can be their own salvation, but be-
cause of Arabian politics, which is
another matter entirely.
The Labor party in England is
vigorously protesting the deci-
sion, war or on war. That adds to
the prestige of England. For it
is good to know that even when
a country is at war, free men can
still express themselves about DO

The British government has an
nounced that in the future no more
land in Palestine may be pur-
chased from Arabs by Jews or
anybody else. Herewith it falls
in with Hitler's blood-and-soil the
ory. The ownership of land in that
country-which is about the size
of the State of Vermont-is to re-
main the way it is now in perpetu-
ity. Merely being a member of the
indigenous race constitutes an
eternal claim to the soil, no mat

strategy and is otherwise utterly
without logic. The British govern
ment knows that the Palestine
Jews will be loyal to Britain I'M
der all circumstances. But the Pal
estine Arabs are questionable.
They are open to agitation by
agents of other governments. The
British government wants to con-
ciIiate them, and does so at the
expense of the Palestine Jews, I'M
der the argument that Britain is
fighting against racial persecution
and that the most important thing
for the Jews is that Britain should
win the war.
Unfortunately, however, Britain
establishes a policy which not only
makes her noble words seem hol-
low but which will remain to
plague her in peace. For over
crowded Europe, not only the
Jews, will need colonization prof.
ects when this war is over. It has
needed them for years. And it
happens that the Palestine coloni-
zation project is the finest exam
pie existing of what tranSplanted
Europeans, animated by faith and
idealism, can do. For Britain to
come out for the theory that a
race anywhere constitutes an eter-
nal static population is simply to
condemn the undeveloped portions
of the earth to eternal stagnation.
On that basis this continent would
belong to the Indians.
But the Jews in Palestine have
not dealt with the Arabs as our
fOrefatherS dealt with the Indians.
They are not "cOnquering" con-
tinent. Every bit of their land has
been bought from the owners and
paid for at an exOrbitant price
not with whisky and cOlOred beads.
The land they bought was swampy,
defOrested and erOded. The Arab
lands are still in the same cOndi-
ton. The land of the Jewish CO.
operative land settlements are col
Onies whose work is quite incred-
| ible.
Walter C. Lowdermilk, Assist
ant Chief of the Soil Conservation
Service of the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture, said in
a recent report on a survey of
land use on three continents, that
agricultural colonization in Pal
estine by the Jews is the most re-
markable devotion to and reclama-
ton of wasted lands that he has
ever seen.
"The Jews have paid high prices
for pestileTltial swamps," reports
the disinterested Mr.. LOWdermilk,
''fOr sand dunes requiring fixa-
ton, for stony hills requiring ter
racing or the planting of forests.
Jewish effort has transformed
these wasted lands into flourish

Toland said that the boards per-

Davis had been disciplined. On the
contrary. he said. they showed he
still worked for the board and hat
received pay raises since then.
The testimony in the NLRB AM

that Board Chairman J. Warren

to deny them.
Rep. Abe Murdoch. D. Utah, de-

Russians Use Skis in Vain Attempt
To Combat Lightning Finn Thrusts

up to 1000 men.
There had been reports from sew
eral points recently that the Rus
slams we're usink skis. The Films
assert. however. that hardly any
OF the Russians know how to use
skis. They assert that they have
found skis with Russian felt boots
nailed to them-that when the Rus
slams were forced to flee they had
left skis and boots behind. Boots
worn by Finnish soldiers have turn
ed up toes to fit into the bindings
Of skis.
In the Lake Kianta sector. where
the Firms smashed the Russian
i63rd division, the Films say they
have found among captured wal
materials small trucks laden with
skis which the Russians had taken
from villages evacuated by the
Firms early in the war.
The Russians on the Salla front,
it was learned, have been using
barbed wire for several days to pro-
tect themselves against Finnish at
tackS.
Russian field kitchens have been
among the major objectives of Fin
nish attacks. Wherever possible the
Films have destroyed kitchens IN
accordance with orders TO take the
Russians in their Stomachs.'
Often the Firms found that Rus
slams had strung barbed wire about
as high as a mans head from tree
20 tree. At other places the wire
was strung very low, in hope OF en-
tangling the Films and their skis.
The wire. however, was no protec-
ton for the Russians against the
cold and hunger. Finnish patrols
frequently report having fount
