Aiming Of Palestine Jews
Demanded al Conference
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated PfeSS.
CLEVELAND, Jan. 17.-Great
Britain should swiftly mobilize and
arm "the fighting Jews of Palestine"
lest she repeat "the tragic mistakes
of Crete and Malay and Of other
battle areas where foresight might
have averted disasters" DR.. Abba
Hillel Silver told the National Con-
ference for Palestine tonight.
IF Great Britain cannot arm the
Jews of Palestine, presumably for
lack of equipment, America should"
declared DR.. Silver, national chair
man of the United Palestine Appeal.
Asserting that Palestine Jews
should be permitted to form their
own military units and to fight un-
der their own flag under empire
command" the speaker asked:
"Why is Great Britain
afraid Of Jewish bayonets? Does 1t
suspect that these bayonets may
some day be employed to back up
the righteous demand for a free
Jewish Palestine by men who will
finally be forced to the conclusion
that freedom must be taken when it
is not given. There is no fear. The

Reports reaching London indi-
Gated that the parachutists were

One source said the operation

that the parachutists were believed

organized guerilla bands already
operating there, they might attack
the Nazi rear as well as cut commu-

Fighting Continues in South.
Observers said the Soviet tactics
indicated a determination to wipe

Agreement Near on Breok,
Aronho Soys at Rio

RIO DE JANEIRO, Jan. II tR.-
Brazilian Foreign Minister Oswaldo
Aranha said tonight that the Con-
ference Of American Foreign Min
listers was near agreement" on ac-
cepting the proposal for severance
of Notwithstanding diplomatic
with the Axis.
A proposal to this effect offered
by Mexico. Colombia and Venezuela
has been opposed by Argentina.
Senor Aranha, who is chairman
of the Pan American Conference,
told the Associated Press he was
surprised the proposal had been
published.
II hope to have a statement Mon
day." he said. Il am not sure we
will succeed by Monday. but we hope
to put it through"
Many private talks outside the
conference rooms were directed to-
ward swinging Argentina to approv-
ing severance Of diplomatic relations.
Chile Veers Away From Break.
Earlier. Chile appeared veering
toward Argentina's previous stand
against a complete break.
The impression persisted that the
Chilean decision would be dictated
by her own national interests and
geographical considerations. espe-
cially in view of her long, exposed
Pacific coast line.
Chile's delegation here refused to
throw any light on the subject and
the Santiago regimes attitude is not
expected to be clarified until debate
starts Monday on the resolution
sponsored by Colombia, Mexico and
Venezuela for Q unanimous break
with the Axis by all II American
republics.
The resolution declared that Jap
anese, German and italian .aggres-
sion against the United States was
part and parcel Of thef concerted
plans for world conquest"
Introduced yesterday but not
made public until today, the resolu-
ton proposed further that Western
Hemisphere nations consult with one
another before re-establishing re-
lations with the aggressors. 1t was
presented by Colombian Delegate

its purpose and effect" he said. 1T is
not inf1ationary, it is merely just. 1t
does not represent grab by greedy
farmers, but only plea that the
shocking disparity which exists be-
tween the returns to the farmer and
the returns to all other elements OF
the economy shall not be made per-
manent.
"'Parity' Is not equality as many
headwriters assume. Parity is a
word used by statisticians and econ
omists to mean the ratio that ex-
listed In 1910 to 1914 between the
economic position of the farmer and
that of all persons of the farm. That
ratio was, roughly, one to four per
capita. When the farmer has parity
of income he is getting one-fourth
as much as all other elements.
Effect Is Explained.
"You just cannot tell me that the
people of this country want to con-
denim the farmer permanently to
such q relationship. particularly at
a time when it is acknowledged that
it is essential to stimulate the pro-
duction OF more food.
MY amendment would not COM
pei an increase Of prices. 1t would
not of itself cause any farm COM
modify to rise in price. 1t merely
provides that since, under the policy
Of the price control bill, no imita-
ton whatsoever is to be placed upon
wages if any such increase Of wages
is permitted, it shall be considered
as a factor (only one-fifth) in COM
putting parity prices.
I'VE do not ask that wages be
kept down because the Banking and
Currency Committee took the posi-
ton that they should not be re-
strained, but we merely say that If
wages are to go without any control.
then the controls on the prices Of
farm commodities shall be In some
reasonable proportion to urban
wages.
Bear in mind that urban wages
today are at least 280 on the index
of 1910 to 1914. It seems to me OBJ
viously absurd to say in the face of
this that a request that farm prices
shall not be forced below 120 on the
1904 index is not in any degree
unreasonable
Certainly it is not inflationary. 1t
is uncontrolled factors and not con-
trolled factors that cause imitation"

while plans progressed for ex-

President Roosevelt discussed the
relief problem with Congressional
leaders and obtained their agree
ment with apparent ease, The
shift to war production, it was esti-
mated, would throw 100000 men
out of work for varying periods Of
time.

derstood to be perfecting plans for
streamlining his organization, with
view to simplification and the
elimination Of any cumbersome ad-
ministrative machinery that might
hamper production by unnecessary
red tape.
1t appeared that the Office of Pro-
duction Management would be vir-
tually dissolved. a prospect made
the more unmistakable by the trans
fer of William S. Knudsen, its
director general, to the Army with
the job of seeing to it that industry
produces the things the Army needs.

His talent for mass production en-
gineering carried him from the
status of an immigrant machinisJ
to the presidency of General Motors.
