JUST IMAGIN

What do you think of the fol-
lowing resolution being adopted
by the American Jewish Confer
ence this weekend to be forward
ed to the United States Govern
ment for action by our armed
forces and those of the United
Nations:
ut is important that nothing
be done to offend the religious
susceptibilities of the Jewish peo-
pie during our temporary occu-
pancy of Palestine. It is essen
tial in the choice of persons, rep
resenting any of the United Ma
tions, to administer such func-
tions-especially persons of the
Jewish faith-that care shall be
taken to avoid entrusting those
functions to anyone who is pro-
fessedly or generally known to be
opposed to the Zionist views of
Palestine, or a known representa-
tive of anti-Zionism.
Failure to follow this policy
will gravely imperil the active
ment of the good will which the
Allied nations have set for them
selves in helping to create the
opportunities for establishing the
freedom of oppressed nations"
What was that comment of
yours? Irresponsible-ev ven to
/ think of submitting such a reso-
luton? How can we dream of
concocting an insulting document

or have been disabled in the SER
vice of their country and require
aid in reestablishing themselves.
The plan provides for the appoint
ment by the Jewish Welfare
Board of a Veterans Service Com
mittee on which both organiza-
tons will be represented, and
which will supervise the expanded
program. The staff will be en-
larged as needed and additional
regional offices established, to
augment the present personnel OF
five full time and seventy five
part time workers attached TO
this branch of the work OF the
Jewish Welfare Board.

of that kind? Do we want to i'm
peril the invasion of Europe and
the status of Jewish boys in the
army, not to speak of jeopardiz-
ing the status of Jews in the
United States?
Well, my friends, the above
language is part of a resolution
adopted by the Supreme Council
of the Knights of Columbus. The
only difference is that the word
Palestine has been substituted for
Italy and Zionism has taken the
place of Catholicism. The knights
of Columbus, upright Americans
all, had no hesitancy whatever in
saying to their government that
they didn't feel it was right for
any anti-Catholic official to be
messing around the Catholic peo-
pie of Italy. And the K. of c.
didn't feel-as Jews presumably
might-that military policy was
being interfered with.
