Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1942-01-29

COLONIAL FURNITURE de-
sign Is the American adaptation
OF the Georgian styles of Chip
Apendale. Hepplewhite. Adam and
1Sheraton.
The first hard years Of coloni-
zation and settlement over, pros
perity came to young America.
Living became less precarious,
industry was established and
trade set up which filled the
pockets of the sons and daugh-
tiers OF the first settlers.
First Impulse
The immediate urge was TO
display this growing wealth, to
en- Joy the luxuries so long de-
MED, and what better way TO
appear prosperous than TO live
in fine homes?
And because sympathies were
still close 10 the mother coun-
try, what better measuring stick

Colonial Furniture Simple Adaptation
Of EngIand's Finest 9th Century Styles

the Georgian periods. walnut for
the Queen Anne-influenced
pieces, mahogany for the Geor-
gian-influenced pieces.
There Is very little carving,
and practically no inlay. And
the native American craftsmen,
while admitting the inspiration
OF the masters, nevertheless in
troduced certain distinguishing
characteristics Of their own.
Highly Styled
For instance, the backs OF lad
derback chairs, while motivated
by Chippendale, are styled much
higher than the originals. And
the back legs Of all Gabrielle
legged chairs are sturdier,
stumpier than the Queen Anne
and early Chippendale models.
The entire feeling Of Colonial
design, while so similar to its
English prototype, is set apart
from IL by its sturdiness and
simplicity.
If you see a Queen Anne or
Chippendale chair. having all
the basic earnarks of those
styles, but without carving and
with a somewhat heavier APP
pearance. you may be sure that
is a Colonial pattern.
Although the native Ameri-
can walnut was used in many
original Colonial pieces, the re-
pleas from today's furniture
marts are almost exclusively

mahogany, and this wood is
considered most typical Of the
period.
Both Early American and
Colonial period designs are es-
sentially adaptations Of originals
from the master designers Of
England. altered by the living
conditions Of the colonists.

There was one great difficulty:
The desire TO emulate was
there. but the skilled crafts
men to do this emulation were
not. The designs Of the English

Those were anxious days in the
FAN of 1917 when the British War
cabinet issued the Balfour Declar-
alton. The collapse Of Russia was
imminent, the military situation
Of the Allies on every front was
precarious and the strength of
America had not yet asserted it
self. Primarily the Balfour Dec
1aration was war measure de-
signed TO attract TO the Allied
cause the moral and material re-
sources Of the Jewish communities
Of the world
But the Declaration was far
more than such a timely expedi-
ent- To the statesmen Of Britain
and America who pondered and
weighed every word Of the brief
announcement, the establishment
of National Home for the Jewish
people in Palestine was an act of
historic justice which the nations
owed to a homeless and long
suffering people: and not few Of
them were deeply stirred by the
prospect Of witnessing the fulfill
ment Of millenial hope and pro-
phetic promise. The present wri-
ter was then member Of the
Cabinet Of President Woodrow
Wilson when the policy to which
the Balfour Declaration gave ex-
preston was approved by him.

twenty-five years have passed
since the Balfour Declaration was
issued The progress Of Palestine
during the period is represented
by the growth of the Jewish pop
ulation of Palestine from $4,000
to $4,000: by scores Of agricul-
tural settlements that have trans
formed rocky or marshy wastes
into fourishing gardens; by cities
and suburbs teening with indus
try and commerce; by the eradi-
cation Of disease and the introduc-
ton Of scientific methods; by
modern school system, a splendid
university and other institutions
Of education and culture. The
physical obstacles, as in the case
of other pioneering enterprises,
have of course been formidable;
but the obstacle that has loomed
largest has been the opposition Of
the Arabs.
The Arabs Consulted
The question of the effect which
the influx of Jewish immigrants
and the progress of Jewish enter
prise might have upon the Arabs
was not ignored in the delibera-
tons that preceded the publication
of the Balfour Declaration. That
question was carefully weighed, as
the wording of the Declaration it
self goes to prove. None Of the
parties to the arrangement, in
GLIDING the Arabs themselves, can
complain that they were not con-
suited. In the case Of the Arabs
the evidence is contained in a
letter dated March 3. 1919, which
the Emir Feisal, later King of
Iraq, addressed to Felix Frank
furter who was member Of the
American Jewish delegation to
the Peace Conference in Paris. In
that letter the accredited Arab
spokesman declared: The Arabs,
especially the educated among us.
look with deepest sympathy on
the Zionist Movement. Our depu-
tation here in Paris is fully ac-
quainted with the proposals sub
mitted yesterday by the Zionist
Organization to the Peace Confer
ence and we regard them as mod
crate and proper. We will do our
best in so far as we are concerned
to help their attainment; we will
offer the Jews a hearty welcome
home"
The achievements of the Arabs
at the Peace Conference, it should
be noted, far surpassed those of
the Jews. After centuries Of SUBJ
lection to Turkish rule, the Arab
countries of Iraq, Saudi Arabia
and, somewhat later, Transjordan
were established as national states
under Arab rule. Towards this
contamination an important con-
tribution was made by America.
1t was President Wilson's insist
ence on the principle of self
determination that swept aside
secret treaties and arrangements
that would have prevented the ap-
plication of that principle to the
Arabs. America desired to see
justice done to the Arabs; more
over, America desired equally to
The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1942-07-17

see justice done to the Jews.
The Voice Of America
This desire did not terminate
with the publication of the Bal
four Declaration and its incorpor-
alton into the text Of the Palestine
Mandate. In September. 1922,
President Warren G. Harding af-
fixed his signature to a joint res
olution which had been adopted
without dissenting vote in both
Houses Of Congress and which
read as follows: Resolved by the
Senate and House of Representa-.
; tives of the United States of
America in Congress assembled,
that the United States of America
favors the establishment in Pales-
tine of a National Home for the
Jewish people, it being clearly un-
derstood that nothing shall be
done which may prejudice the civil
and religious rights of Christian
and all other non-Jewish COM
munities in Palestine, and that
the holy places and religious build
ings and sites in Palestine shall
be adequately protected"
The interest of America in the
progress of the Jewish National
Home continued undated. It
found expression not only in the
utterances of all the Presidents
who succeeded Woodrow Wilson,
but in those of other leaders of
American thought and action and
in the organs Of American public
opinion. A significant manifesto
ton Of this interest appears in a
statement to which sixty-eight
members of the United States
Senate have recently subscribed.
Quoting the joint resolution adopt
ed by the Senate and House of
Representatives in 1922, tn e
statement asserts that 1T has
thus become the declared policy of
the United States to favor the
restoration of Palestine as a Nat
ional Home for the Jewish peo-
pie"
The course of world events in
the past quarter century, and
particularly since the spirit of
aggression and violence was allow
ed to gain sway in many lands,
has influenced Britain to modify
her Palestine policy. The new
policy announced by the White
Paper issued in 1899 by the gov
eminent of Neville Chamberlain.
with its drastic restrictions of the
right Of Jews to migrate into Pal
estine and Of their right to pur-
chase land there-two rights that
are essential to the development
of their National Home cannot
be interpreted otherwise than an
abrogation of the Balfour Declar-
alton. 1t was so interpreted by
Winston Churchill, who, in a Par
hamentary debate on the White
Paper which took place on May
%, 1889, declared: LAS one in
timately and responsibly concern
ed in the earlier stages of that
policy, I could not stand by and
ee solemn engagements into
which Britain has entered before
the world set aside for reasons of
administrative convenience or
and it will be vain~hope- for the
sake of a quiet life"

surrounding the genesis of the
White Paper of 1889 leaves little

A Leading Statesman Says What He Thinks Of Jews

embodies was adopted by Britain
under a species of duress. Indeed,
the point for Americans to bear
steadily in mind is that Palestine
was not made a British possession
at the end of the last war and
has never become one-that it was
to be administered as an Internal
ional trust with a well-defined OBJ
ject in view. That object was
solemnly approved by all the
members of the League of Nations
and by our own country; and the
Permanent Mandates Commission
of the League, set up to supervise
the execution of the trust, re-
peatedly whitfield down of the
Mandate on successive occasions
and finally refused its assent to
the reputation implicit in the
White Paper.
More Urgent Today
It is apparent, moreover, that
the reasons that prompted the or
iginal policy are more urgent to-
day than they were twenty-five
years ago. The plight of the
homeless, desperate and terrorized
Jews of Europe is immeasurably
more tragic. 1t now includes all
of them without regard to class
or station. From the walled
ghettos of the continent, from the
forests where they seek escape
from their tormentors, they lift
up their eyes and see no other land
of refuge but Palestine. In the
opinion of Field-Marshal Jan
Christian SHUTS, that great sold
Ter and statesman who played an
important role in the adoption Of
the Balfour Declaration, the case
in behalf of that document has be-
come overwhelmingly stronger:
The case has become one not
merely of promises and Internal
ional law, but for the conscience
of mankind We dare not fold our
hands without insulting the hui
man spirit itself"
Jewish National Home A Fact
Not only has the situation
changed in Europe. 1t has chang
ed in Palestine also. The Jewish
National Home has emerged from
the realm Of theory to the realm
of fact The Jews have demon
strated their ability to pioneer
their way through to national re-
Mobilization, and Palestine has
demonstrated her capacity to sus-
tain their efforts. The Jewish
community of Palestine, the ma
jority of which consists of refu-
gees from Nazi persecution and
terror. constitutes National
61OIIle III miniature.
1t is more urgent than ever that
that National Home should be per-
mitted to grow and develop and
fulfill its promise. For the prob
lem Of the Jewish National Home
is not limited to the immediate
political alignment in Palestine.
The problem is co-extensive with
Jewish homelessness and with the
obligation that rests on the ma
tons to find a solution for it.
Nor should the special position
of the Jewish National Home be
ignored in any plan for the fur
Their political indignation of the
Near East through an Arab Con-
federation or other form of union.
Nothing will be gained and a
great deal in terms of peace and
stability will be lost by subjecting
the Jewish National Home to the
domination of forces that may
prove hostile to it. In this respect
Christian Lebanon is in the same
situation as the Jewish National
Home. Both are non-Moslem, and
