ish internment camp is still better
than in a concentration camp in
Germany" Thousands of the in
termed refugees, especially the
younger ones, were deported to
Canada and Australia against
their will and without being per-
mitted to send farewell word to
their parents or wives. Public
protests by fair-minded people in
creased. But, again, there were
some who said: But after all, you
cannot deny that the treatment of
the internees in a camp in Aus
tralia, however harmful the eli
mate may be to their health, is
a thousand times. better than in
Dachau or BuchenWald."
When the late Lord Wedgwood
at that time not yet raised to
the peerage-revealed in the House
of Commons the story of how
their voyage to Australia on the
SIS Dunera the informed internees
had been maltreated and robbed
of their possessions, public opin-
ion in England was indignant.
There was a court martial that
punished those responsible and
the Government Unidentified the
internees for the material damage
they had suffered. But even with
reference to the Dunera scandal
there were voices to say that
After all nobody was really tor
tured on that boat as was the rule
in Nazi cellars and prisons"
Refugees who came to this
country with the naive belief that
there existed no anti-Semitism in
America, and who gradually be-
came acquainted with the exist
ence of restrictions in many
fields of life, can often hear:
But after all, this is nothing to
speak of-compared with tn e
things you have experienced in

hopes for a Jewish land and a
free Jewish life and to deny our
people the full extent of justice
the world owes us. There are al
ready people who tell us: what
ever you will get you should be
content with, for in any case your
future will be better than your
recent past"
To overcome this danger it will
be necessary to enlist for the Jew
ish cause the active sympathy
and support of the real patriots in
the democratic countries, of the
courageous men who do not adj
minister to whatever happens the
lowest yardstick possible, but who
freely admit that lot has still to
be done at home for the full reali-
cation of democratic ideals. They
are those who know that charity
begins at home, that justice is in
divisable and should not be de-
MED anybody, and that you can
not establish the four freedoms in
the rest of the world unless they
are practiced in the countries
where they are proclaimed.
There are many who are always
prepared to quote Admiral Deca-
tur's: Our country-right or
wrong" but it was a President of
the United States, John Quincy
Adams, who, referring to that
famous toast declared: "I dis
claim all patriotism Incompatible
with the principles of eternal JUS
tice."

this country of one or more vici-

full-fledged vitrolic and even
bloodthirsty propaganda litera-
ture, there were good friends
Jews and Gentiles alike-who
told them: But, after all, COM
pared with Europe America sure
ly is a paradise for Jews"
What Mr.. Sedgwick says, or i'm
plies, is in the same line. He has
not the courage to admit that Ma
jor Verdin's address to the court
was a first class anti-Semitic at
tack and that Ben Gurion's de-
scription in it's essence is right.
He takes the yardstick from the
Nazis and tells the readers of the
Times that if there was an anti
Semitic attack it certainly was
not characteristic of the lowest
type of anti-Semitism since that
type was the prerogative of the
Nazis in their pogroms in Berlin
and Warsaw. AS if the issue at
stake was defining the exact de-
gree of that British Majors hos
tility to Jews!
Diverting the attention from
the real issue and side-tracking
the discussion is an old political
trick. But trying to achieve this
aim by giving the. reader instead
of an intelligent and objective re-
view of the facts a demagogically
distorted picture is not only an in
suit to the readers intelligence
but-in the specific case we are
speaking about-also to the honor
of the United Nations. For all
these statements of our Sedg-
wicks in the last analysis boil
down to the rather offensive
truth" that America and Eng
land are civilized countries
compared with Germany-and the
members of their governments
gentlemen-co compared with the
Nazi leaders.
But while taking the yardstich
from Hitler is an insult to the
free countries, to us Jews il
means an ominous threat to the
realization of our hopes. There is
the grave danger that by applying
this method to our claims at
tempts will be made to kill oul

submit that taking the yard
stick from the Nazis is not only
wrong but also an insult to the
United Nations. Yet, ever since
1888, and more particularly since
the outbreak of the war, we en-
counter similar remarks both here
and in England whenever some
body tries to excuse a wrong af-
flicted on Jews. These people ap-
parently do not realize how insult
ing their remarks are, in the last
analysis, to the honor of those
whom they want to defend.
In June, 1910, after the down.
fall Of France, a somewhat pam
icky British Government decided
to intern Unfortunately all
"enemy aliens" including refugees
from Nazi oppression who, after
investigation of every individual
case, had been freed by British
Tribunals from all restrictions.
After a week or so all liberal
forces in Great Britain protested
against the injustice and the un-
fairness of that measure. But
there were many Jews and Cen
tiles in England whose only COM

Some Observations on Anti-Semtic Variations

The political leadership of the Jewish Agency for Pal

such wide publicity. l only want to deal here with

statement made by Mr. David Ben GurOn Chairman of the
Executive of the Jewish Agency. Ben GurOn had de-

Spreading the roots out is usually
recommended although there is lit
tie that can be done if they have
soil on them. However, we can see
that they are placed straight down
into the soil instead of curled up in
the bottom of a shallow hole.
AS soon as the hole has been
opened for the new plants, if the
soil is at all dry a pint or more of
water should be poured into it. AS
soon as this has soaked into the soil
the plant may be placed and the
roots covered with soil. Firming
the soil about the roots is helpful
as 1t aids the soil moisture to rise.
II a tablespoonful of soluble ferti-
llzer is added to each gallon of the
water used to moisten the soil, still
more favorable results may be OBJ

Transplanting should take place
on a cloudy day. or if one cannot
walt, it is better to do it in the late
evening. This gives the plants roots
time to become established before
the sun and wind begin to take
moisture from the leaves.
Even though we transplant in the
evening it is we'll to protect the plant
with a shingle thrust into the
ground so as to shade the plant
from the midday sun. Shading for
two or three days is all that will be
needed in most cases.
Removing a part of the leaves is

While it is comparatively easy to
grow seedlings in a fiat or bed or
to purchase well-groWn plants from

getting them into the garden with
out shock or stunting requires care.
The careless setting out of plants in
the garden may not always result in
their death, but it nearly always
arrests their growth and delays
their development
Plants to transplant we'll should
not suffer any material loss of roots.
They should continue growth with
out delay and unless the roots have
been protected from injury and
from drying sun and winds, this is
not likely to be the result.
Lifting the plants with consider
able soil on the roots is one very
effective way of protecting them.
If the soil has been thoroughly
moistened two or three hours be-

roots much better than when dry.
