The purpose of the League is
not only the organization Of

the national center to which all
Jews will look as the home and
source of all that is most essential
Iy Jewish. Palestine will be the
country in which Jews are to be
found Just as Ireland is the cOun-
try in which Irishmen are to be
found, though there are more
Irishmen outside of Ireland than
in it. And similarly Palestine will
be the home of Judaism, not be-
cause there will be no Judaism
anywhere else, but because in Pal
estine the Jewish spirit will have
free play, and there the Jewish
mind and character will express
themselves as they can nowhere
else.

Plan
Wins Test
Referendum

NEW YORK (JTA) The
proposal for a national advi-
sorry budget service, which
was submitted in a referen-
dunn to the member agencies
of the Council of Jewish Fed
eratiOns and Welfare Funds,
has been approved by a ma
jOrity of the agencies voting,
it was announced by HI. L.
Lurie, executive director of
the Council. The results of
the referendum will be SUBJ
mitted to the Councils board
of directors at a meeting to
be held early in May, when
the board will consider the
steps to be taken and the pro-
cedures to be established to
develop the type of services
most helpful to it's member
agencies.
The board of directors, at it's
meeting in Atlanta last January,
approved the advisory budget pro-
posal but decided to submit it to
the entire membership of the
Council in order to give each the
opportunity of registering it's
wishes. Even before the referen-
dunn was taken, there was general
agreement on the need for expand
ing the Councils fact-finding serv-
ices and broadening their scope.
The votes on the referendum, neg
alive as we'll as affirmative, has
supported this view.
A complete report on the refer
endum to the member agencies,
Lurie said, will be made by the
board after it canvasses the bal
lots at its May meeting.
The questions on which member
agencies expressed their views on
the referendum were based on
recommendations made at the At
lanta assembly by the Councils
Committee on the. Study of Ma
tional Budgeting Proposals. After
an extended study, this Commit
tee, headed by Jacob Blaustein of
Baltimore and William Rosenwald
of Greenwich, Conn.,, proposed the
establishment of a national advi-
sorry budget service for national
and overseas agencies appealing
to local communities for support.

Week In Review
WAR IN THE BALKANS
By MILTON BROWN. J.T.A.

WAN x1V A14G A0&AAA4A&A4N0
Last week was one of those
Hack weeks when all the world
seemed discOuraging. 1t was the
week when the NaZi armies swept
across YugOsIavia and Greece, des-
Mite heroic resistance, and when
the Axis forces made gains against
the British army in North Africa.
It is not a matter of major con-
seouence, in view of the magni-
tude of the events, but there are
$4,000 Jews in Yugoslavia and
10000 in Greece. In Salonika,
Greek seaport on the Aegean,
which was occupied by the Nazis
in the first days of the invasion,
there are $4,000 Jews, who COM
prise one-quarter of the city's
population.
In YugOslavia, efforts had been
made to evacuate as many as pos
SibIe of the 5000 Jewish refugees
concentrated near the German
frontier before the BlitZkrieg
broke, but most of them remained
In the path of juggernaut, unable
TO emigrate, and what happened to
them was not known at this writ
Ing.
The pattern of what Nazi occu-
nation means for the Jews is al
most too well known from the
history of Poland, Holland, Bel
gium and France to need discuss
ion. Several days before the inva-
sion Nazis in Zagreb telephoned
Jewish leaders and threatened
Wholesale cleanup of Jews once
the Germans had entered. AS
usual, Hitler, in his message to
the German people announcing
the invasion, said the war twas
forced on Germany by British i'm
perialism and by Jewish finance
and capital"
Last weeks events aroused fore
bOdings particularly in Palestine.
At the same time that the NaZi
break-thrOugh brought the Ger
mans to the Aegean, the Axis fore
es in North Africa were regaining
territory the Italians had lost to
the British and were coming closer
to Palestine. And within the Near
East a coup d'etat brought about
by Axis intrigues unSeated the
1raq Government and set up a
junta more favorable to Berlin and
Rome.
In the face of the new threat
to Palestine, the Jewish commune
ty sought to enlarge its participa-
ton in the war. Moshe Shertok,
head of the Jewish Agency's po-
itical department, told confer
ence in Rehoboth that the Pales-
tine Jews were not satisfied with
their representation of 5000 in the
British forces.
THE GENERAL JEWISH
COUNCIL
Almost three years ago - in
June, misrepresentation of the
Dig four" Jewish organizations
met in Pittsburgh and decided to
unite their activities for defense
OF Jewish rights. Out of this meet
ing grew the General Jewish COun-
Gil, bringing together the Ameri-
can Jewish Committee, American
JeWish Congress, B'nai Birth and
SeWish Labor Committee.
Formation of the Council was
widely hailed as heralding a new
unity in Jewish life in America.
However, within the Council the
situation has been far from COM
pletely harmonious. At times there
was criticism from some quarters
mat the Council was not stlffi-
GENTLY active.
Last week there were develop
ments which changed the structure
OF the Council. At q meeting OF
the Council in New York, the
american Jewish Congress pro-
posed that the Council dissolve it
self. The motion was defeated by

The short of 1t Is that Bilrus
Cafe raised the curtain in the
1871 Recreation league soft
ball race at the Covered Wagon
diamond last night with a 28-13
victory over the Bat Club.
II we were even to give you
q tabulation of the statistics Of
the game, we would exceed by
far our space limitations. So
we will give you the picture In
the following manner:
Ninety-one men faced four
hurlers in an hour and half,
scored q total of Al runs on AZ
hits and % errors.
Four men hit home runs.
They were, Leggett, Kurkow-
ski, Maison, and Furton. Four
men also hit triples.
Twelve runs were scored by
Bilrus in the fourth inning while
the pitcher grew weary and
the helders were run into the
ground.
Twenty-four men took part In
the stampede, which may 60

The following especially en-
joyed their trips to the plate:
Din Kowalski, Bilrus first
sacker, who got four runs in
four trips to the plate; Kurkow-
ski Bilrus hurler, who got three
for three; Clair Dubay, Bilrus
shortstop, iwho got four for six;
L. Newman, Bat Club center
fielder, Frascatore, leftfielder.
and r. Martell, rightfielder, who
scored twice in four times at
bat; Maison, third baseman, who
scored three times in three times
at bat; and A Martell, who came
over twice in two shots at the
pitcher.

Twilight league opener Monday
night. which was won by Gil

Bathers had run up q streak of
seven consecutive victories.
Playing on their own course
the Oakers held the edge on the
Bather golf team. But In the

into victory. Breitmeyer dropped
two and q half points to youth

Breitmeyer carded IN 81 to his
opponents 80. Smith registered
an 81, likewise, while his OPP
ponent, Brannock, shot the reg

add two more points to the Royal
Oak cause. Ronald Sutherland
led the Bathers in scoring with
q 78, but even his effort went to
