nOn-ZiOnists for a hands-across-
the-table pact for peace planning
is getting sweeter and sweeter.
One of the reasons is that Ameri-
can ZiOniSts in 1912 don't use the
same vocabulary their predecessor,
Herzl, did forty years ago. And
not because the words don't still
mean the same thing :. How does
the Jewish Welfare Board feel a
bout joining in a planned S35,OOO,-
coo drive for the U. S. 0. in the
Spring, when most of the money
raised in 1941 hasn't yet been
spent? :. Editor Stout of the
Saturday Evening Post is prom
Using himself it'll be a long time
before he touches on any more
Jewish topics, considering the ter
rifle amount of cOndemnatOry mail
he got on the Jerome Frank ar
ticle-which, he had thought,
would make all the Jews happy.
BELIEVE 1T OR NOT
Biggest news of the year should
be that strange person, the presi-
dent of Yankton College at Yank-
ton, South Dakota, who is eagerly
searching for Jewish students.
But before rushing to the institu-
ton, students should note that
Yankton h a no professional
schools. Otherwise it's a place
where they truly welcome the kind
of people Hitler doesn't like
Relatives of refugees are funny
people. They are prepared to
spend lots of money to get their
relatives over here. They pay
anywhere from $500 to $1,000 to
some mythical lawyers" to help
get visas for Cuba. And some of
these helpful people have desks in
the lobby or around the corner
from the Cuban consulates, as
though our island neighbors knew
nothing whatever of the traffic.
And now, after having paid
through the nose and encouraged
the racket by supporting it, some
are talking about suing the people,
some of them refugees, who help
ed get the necessary pieces of
paper for transport to Cuba and
from the island to the U. S. A.
Those folks who have been cast
ing suspicious remarks about Will
liam Christian BuIIitt, who spent
a day recently with MOshe Sher-
tOk in Jerusalem, should know
that BuIlitt isn't permitting the
Jewish strain of blood in his an
cestry to interfere with his appre-
citation of what Jews are doing in
Palestine Incidentally, the
older folks in ZiOnism-and how
MANY of them aren't :-are letting
their blood pressure roam to 200
and above when they see the
monthly issues of the Avukah
student paper, Action. Pretty dis
respectful the youngsters are a
ut the wisdom of the Zionist
.Iers and the British too. It's
t unusual to hear them call the
onist big-wigs "Old fOgies" and
:. refer to the British by the
!, ,rds the Russians used before
tler decided to invade them.
