anti-Semitic propaganda, Hitler
adopted it as the perfect weapon
to soften up, divide and confuse
the countries that were on his list.
The ironic thing is that now, when
the entire world has realized the
dangerous implications and rami-
fications of anti-Jewish activity,
the world lacks the courage to
confess it's mistake and hesitates
to make any gesture of reparation
to the Jews, lest it now be con-
demned and attacked by the Nazis
on the ground of excessive friend
ship for the Jewish people.
CHURCHILL, FRIEND OF ZION
The situation in Palestine is per-
haps the best illustration of this.
The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1942-01-16

mere appeasement is dying verv
hard. The spirit of Munich has
oeen rooted out of England, but it
still hovers over Jerusalem. The
Jewish people have few better
friends than Winston Churchill
and until he succeeded the discred-
TIED Chamberlain the Zionist move
ment had few more vigorous and
staunch supporters. It was in
fact, Mr.. Churchill who. as Secre-
tary of State for the Colonies in
1922, issued White Paper which
although it cut off Transiordania
reaffirmed the British govern
ment's adherence to the Balfour
Declaration and to the Mandate
for Palestine. It was Churchill
VINO laid down the principle of
economic absorptive capacity as
the only measure of Jewish imnni-
grafton into Palestine. And it
was Churchill who first proclaim
ed that the Jews were in Pales-
tine "as of right and not of suf-
ferance."
In recent months we have wit
messed a great deal of diplomatic
maneuvering in the Middle East.
Syria has been proclaimed an in
dependent State. There have been
many conferences regarding an
Arab Federation. Every political
development in that sector indi-
Gates that somewhere in some
body's government-sealed brief
case there is blueprint for new
order in the Middle East, in which
the Jews and Palestine have thus
far been pigeon-holed or forgotten.
That by some strange convolu-
ton of diplomacy, might come
under the heading of gratitude
gratitude for the loyalty and the
devoted support of the $4,000
Jews in Palestine who made it
possible for the British to consil-
idate their forces in the Middle
East and convert it into a strong
hold that may yet provide the
fence to cut off Hitler's march to
India. Were it not for the Jews,
the British could not have achiev-
ed the conquest Of Syria. They
could hardly have relied upon the
Arab leaders in Palestine, whose
chief, the Grand Mufti, was one
of the principal strategists of the
pro-Nazi revolt in Iraq-and who
now is the pampered guest of the
Nazi government in Berlin. Some
day General Wavell will tell the
whole story of how the manpower
of the Jewish community, the in
dustries which they built in urban
centers, the products of tl>e farms
which they cultivated on arid land,
made Palestine the bulwark for a
strong British defense of the Suez
Canal and the Empire.
JEWS ARE AGAIN VICTIMS
Evidently the Jews are again
The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1942-01-16

the victims of expediency-a word
which dignifies ingratitude and
betrayal. I cannot believe that
the Jews should be made the VIC
TINS of their unshakable loyalty
and that the Arabs are to be re-
warded because they threatened
to be the fifth columnists of the
Middle East. Are the Jews to be
penalized because they stand ready
to make every sacrifice for the
cause of democracy, regardless of
what new restrictions and new
disappointment they may have to
endure at the hands of the British
government
Appeasement anywhere, whether
it be in Palestine or Great Britain,
is an unconscionable crime against
humanity. 1t is neither logical
nor feasible to expect that silence
or submission now on the part of
the Jews will be rewarded with
full recognition of their rights
when the war is ended. Those
rights can be gained only through
the formation of a Jewish Army.
No wonder, then, that the Jew
ish youth of Palestine and through
out the world is clamoring for an
opportunity to defend it's honor
and to participate as a distinct
unit, as do the other victims of
Nazidom, in this battle that will
determine the fate of mankind.
The Jewish people is asking for
surplus human taxation. The Jew
ish people is pleading to be allow
ed to make extra sacrifices. The
Jewish people is imploring the
British government to permit the
formation of a Jewish army which
would be composed of $4,000 Jew
ish young men of Palestine who
are not eligible for service in the
British expeditionary forces, and
of such Jewish men in other coun-
tries as are not subject to con-
scription. Consequently the man.
power represented by the Jewish
army would provide additional
manpower to fight Hitler. Incl
dentally, the Jewish army would
exceed in numbers the strength of
all the other armies of the various
governments-in-exile. This mill
tary significance of the Jewish
army cannot be minimized at this
time.
True, for the Jewish people a
strong, well-equipped Jewish army
is a question of life and death in
Palestine. But a Jewish army is
not a matter of concern for the
Jewish people alone. The interests
of the British Empire, the inter-
ests of American defense demand
a Jewish army in Palestine. Should
the swastika men crash through
this Biblical land and succeed in
conquering it, the gateway to
world conquest would be wide
open for them.

Fights to Keep Bus Line
Present Service Is.
Very Satisfactory
VI. NJ. Mclean Says
By BAINBRIDGE CRIsT.

One of the principal civic prob

sociation for the coming year is the
proposed abandonment of the Twen-
ty-second and Shepherd street bus
line, in the opinion Of Marvin
Mckenzie Mclean, president of the
group and veteran civic leader of
Northeast Washington.
Mr.. Mclean, who is also president
of the Northeast Conference, said
yesterday that the proposal was "ill
considered" He described the line,
which goes through the heart of
Brookland, as very satisfactory,
and "heavily patronized," and said
that 1t should be kept as it Is"
Smiling and cordial, but nonethe-
less plain spoken, Mr.. Mclean has
headed the Brookland group of and
on for some 20 years-mostly on. To
be specific, he has been president
consecutively for about Is years,
and has been delegate to the Fed
Grafton of Citizens Association for
10 years. Mr.. Mclean has lived In
Brookland ever since 1894, year
after he came to the city.
Needless to say, great changes
have come to that section of the
city during the past 48 years. There
were hardly any paved sidewalks, n
he recalled, and the streets were
muddy" Mr., Mclean soon plunged
into the work of getting sidewalks

Study new methods of building,
new community patterns; train men

Mr.. Mclean said he had three

After touring the garden, situ-

some pecan trees, which he planted
because his wife thought If they
would grow in Texas they would
