Jewish Congress AssaiIs
Judaism Councils Attitude
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-The Amer
ican Jewish Congress yesterday
criticized the action of the American
Council for Judaism which has op-
posed the movement to establish a
Jewish homeland in Palestine.
A statement by the congress
termed the council action, taken in
Philadelphia, an attempt to sabo-
tage collective Jewish will to achieve
q unified program" 1t continued:
THE timing of this action must
be characterized as unsportsmanlike
and reprehensivly impertinent 1t is
calculated to confuse American pub
lie opinion and to disrupt the Amer
lean Jewish community"
Earlier, Rabbi James G. Heller
former president of the Central
Conference of American Rabbis, said
members of the council have
striven to give the impression that
they represent a considerable pro-
portion of the Jews of this country
and that Zionists were guilty of con-
stant Misrepresentation in regard
to the convictions of the mass OF
American Jews"

Argentina 10 Decide
Axis Asylum Cases

BUENOS AIRES, Sept. 1.-The
Argentine Foreign Ministry, in a
reply to Britis- American note re-
questing neutral countries to refuse
asylum to fugitive Axis leaders, said
yesterday that cases would be con-
sidered on individual merits.
The reply sent to United States,
British and Canadian Embassies
said Argentina appreciates the just
ness of the objectives" of the pro-
posals which contemplate punish
ment for common crimes which had
been committed during the course

Bracken, in Capital
For Par|eys, Sees
Long War Ahead

A long war lies ahead Brendan
Bracken, British Minister of Infor-
nation, said last night at a press
conference. Mr.. Bracken came to
Washington for a few days to con-
fer with American officials after the
Quebec conference.
In my belief" Mr.. Bracken told
correspondents at the Statler Hotel,
ut is disservice to think that the
war is going to end soon because
some of the smaller accomplices of
Hitler are showing a change of
front"
The British government official
thus cast water on hopes the upris-
Ing in Denmark and the prospect of
a Bulgarian crisis might shorten the
Nazi fight He intimated that the
decisions made at Quebec by Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Prime Minister
Churchill might be six months in
finding their way into action.
Germans Still Toxsh.
1.-The Germans" he said, "are
tough and have a large army, at
least 200 or 260 divisions. And I
don't believe they are going to COL
lapse. The Axis enemies won't be
destroyed this year.
Allied bombings of enemy terri
tory. Mr. Bracken said, are very
useful and good" as IAN adult educa-
tion movement" and for the first
time are giving the German people a
taste of war In the last war, when
the battles were away from German
territory, he said, the Germans
showed themselves good first at
fighting and then at whining"
However, he did not believe that
bombings could go the whole job
The japanese, he added are tough"
and will require some time to defeat
But he said he did not expect the
Italians to carry on very long"
SCOTS at Separate Peace.
Mr.. Bracken expects Russia to
fight on. He said 1t would be an
insult" to the Soviet Union ito
suggest she would abandon her
plighted word"-the 20-year treaty
of alliance between Great Britain
and the USSR in which Russia
pledged herself against a separate
peace with Germany.
A hopeful note from Mr.. Bracken
was his statement in response to
a question, that the destruction of
German fighter planes during the
last two months has been greater
than in any other single period of
the war. Nevertheless, he added
that 1t would be folly" to rest our
hopes that bombing alone is the
way to win the war and to cut down
other military strength on the
basis Of such belief.
Political Questions Exist.
Mr. Bracken was asked about re-
ports that Mr.. Roosevelt and
Mr.. Churchill discussed postwar
political questions at Quebec. He
said political questions exist be-
cause you never know when the
war is going to end, and 1--WE don't
want to be taken by surprise"
He minimized concern over the
Russian establishment of a Free
Germany Committee by saying 1t
was probably propaganda move.
He complimented the Russians on
doing a fine job in Kidding their
soil of young Huns" Concerned
with that job, he said, Russia has
little time to give to political
problems.
Mr.. Bracken lauded newspaper
men, on the fact that This is the
best reported war in history The
43-year-old red-haired Englishman
is the fourth Minister of Informa-
ton England has had during the
war He said such a ministry
should not and could not exist in
peace time in a democratic state.

right Of asylum. which Argentina
maintains, already have been made
known in the draft of a convention
submitted to Britain on June 81,
1887, under which asylum can be
granted only for political crimes.
Storm said Argentina must exer-
else its judgment in each individual
case in which there is any doubt.
In a separate communique the
foreign ministry said Argentina al
ways considered asylum as "a hui
manitarian institution" designed to
restrain blind acts of vengeance.
The communique set forth that
seven American countries sub
scribed, with certain notifications,

Storm but that the United States,
Britain and Poland, although rec
ognizing the humanitarian spirit of
the proposal and being in sympathy
with 1t, offered reasons which pro-
hibited their adherence to a uni
versal Aw on asylum" Conse-
quently, the communique added.
Argentina reserves the right to de-
eide each case on It's merits.
President Roosevelt in a formal
statement in Washington July 80,
asked neutral nations not to offer
asylum to Axis leaders. Britain is
sued a similar request. Argentina
