Hoover Hopes To
Settle 100000
Jews In Africa

CHICAGO (JTA)-The high
lands Of Central Africa offer
tentative hope" for settlement of
100000 refugees, ex-President
Herbert Hoover declared at a
dinner inaugurating the $2,25O,O0O
campaign Of the Chicago Jewish
Welfare Fund. It was announced
that $1,OOO,OO0 had already been
subscribed.
Whatever else may result from
the present war;" Hoover said, IT
have no belief that we will not
again have to meet the forces of
economic desperation, of hate and
intolerance. These forces are not
lessened by war. We shall have
millions of evicted people seeking
refuge where they can live in
freedom and hope.
For $50 years America was
this refuge. The leaders are
agreed that America cannot open
it's doors in the face of our own
unemployment and suffering. It
has been felt that somewhere
there must be opened a place in a
temperate climate where 10000
900 white men, women and child
rem can build a civilization. The
tentative hope seems to be in the
highlands of Central Africa"

paign to undermine the liberties
of free men.
What American Jews are en-
gagged in is, not a defense of
Jewish rights" but battle along
with their fellow Americans to
protect men from new tyranny
which threatens the peace of the
world and which is capable of
wiping out the democratic doc
trines of three centuries of human
achievement.
All this may be expressed in the
following, provided it is under
stood that these guides are not
absolute but merely represent
points to bear in mind in deciding
particular matters.
1. Remember that decent peo-
pie are not anti-Semitic. Assume
that your Christian neighbor is on
your side and resents this business
just as much as you do.
2. Don't have an inferiOrity
complex because you are a Jew.
Make your children, too, proud of
their religion and its fine tradi-
lions. Participate in general COM
munaI activities and perform your
full duties as an American citizen.
Remember that ten thousand
words of defense" are not as eff
fective as a single unselfiSh act

defensive policy. What is requir-
ed is a policy of attacking the
enemy on a battle-ground chosen
by right-thinking men rather than
where the enemy himself wishes
to fight.
We must stop being concerned
so much with meeting this or that
particular attack, putting pOul-
tees on bOiIs as they break out.
When we are called communists,
it will not do merely to oppose
the INSCRIPTIONS propaganda with
the true record in the case; what
we must do is to stress the simple
fact that it is the NaZis them
selves who are the Number One
allies of the Soviet government.
When a radio orator quotes forged
documents like the Protocols of
Zion, it will not do merely to cir
culate an erudite analysis, again
proving the forgery of these doc
uments; what we must do is to
make clear to the American peO-
pIe that the source of these fOrg-
cries is closely identified with the
enemies of Americanism and CIV
iIizatiOn throughout the world and
that anti-JewiSh propaganda is

WAR Seen
AIDING AM|TY

LONDON (JTA) : Reviewing
Palestine's trade position in war
time, the periodical Economist
asserts that the war has brought
to Palestine special difficulties
but on the other hand has ended
burning Arab-Jewish difference
es." The magazine points out that
Arabs are again frequenting Jew
ish shops and Arab stands have
again appeared in Jewish markets.
The war has also resulted in
the growth of certain industries,
the Economist states. Such prod
ucts as textiles, metalwares and
pharmaceutics which were form
erly imported are now being man.
ufactured locally and even, in the
case of pharmaceutics, are being
exported.
Warning that the danger of ex-
tension of the war to the Near
East was real enough to make
desirable concerted Anglo-French

Committee, editorially stressed

Editors Note: This is the
second of two articles by
Richard L. Rothschild, chair
man of the Survey Committee
of the American Jewish Com
mittee. AS important as they
are interesting, the articles
will be the subject of discus
sion by all sections of Ameri-
can Jewry. They are reprint
ed through the courtesy OF
the Contemporary Jewish Rec
ord, organ of the American
Jewish Committee.
To recapitulate, this is the sit
uatiOn: the anti-Semites claim
that the issue in the world today
is between nOn-JeWS and jews
Christian civilization versus jew
ish communism, orderly capital
ism versus Jewish international
bankers" peace versus jewish
war-mongers. And every defense
of Jews as such is only too likely
to accentuate this false issue
which the rabbIe-rOusers are try
ing to put over. But it is a false
issue. And what must be done is
to present to the world the real
issue, namely, the defense OF CIV
iIizatiOn against tOtalitarianism'
democracy against dictatorship.
It is only natural that we Jews
should be burning up with Justltl-
able resentment and feel impelled
to cry out against the hbelous
attacks of our enemies. But the

such self-indulgent, weak-kneeo'
