In statement issued from the
National Zionist Headquarters
here, the Zionist President de-
clared that the Forthcoming An
nual Convention of the Organiza-
ton which will open next Satur-
day evening, September IL, at
The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1943-09-10

! solemnly declares that if the
Nazis and their accomplices are
permitted to achieve their avowed
purpose, which is the total de-
struction of Jewish life in the ter
ritories under their control, civil
ization will have suffered an over
whelming disaster beyond the
power of victory to repair. Mil
itary victory cannot recall muir
dered people from their mass
graves.
1.-THE Conference records it's
deep concern that, four months
after the Bermuda Conference,
and eight months after the Collec-
tive Declaration of the United
Nations condemning the mass
murder of the Jewish people in
Europe, the democracies have as
yet failed to institute Sustained
and vigorous action to rescue
those who may yet be saved. The
position remains unchanged, save
that in the meantime many ad-
ditional tens of thousands of Jews
have been hurried to unnatural
death.
1.-THE Conference asks in the
name of the common faith in the
Fatherhood of God and of the
ideals for which the United Ma
tions are fighting that the Gov
ernments shall recognize that a
distinctive Jewish problem has
been created in Europe which i'm
poses an unacceptable moral obi
cation on the democracies, and
that such moral obligation must
find expression in special practi-
cal measures which must be COM
mensurate with the gravity and
urgency of the situation. The
Conference accordingly urges that
the following measures be taken
Immediately:
81. A solemn warning ad-
dressed by the leaders of the
democracies to the Axis govern
ments and their satellites must
make it clear that the instigators
of crimes against the Jews, as
well as the accomplices and
agents of the criminals, will be
brought to justice; that all who
prevent release of Jews from
Axis captivity and their depar-
ture to Ravens of refuge will be
punished for their completely in
the policy of determination; and
that resistance to the policy of
determination and aid given to
victims of Nazi policy will be
taken into consideration on the
day of reckoning.
"2. This warning should be
given force and substance by the
immediate constitution of the AL
lied Commission on War Crimes
in London which, though it's for
nation was announced nearly a
year ago, has not yet met. And
it should be primary task of the
Commission to bring home to the
people of Germany the enormity

button.
80. The democracies Should
recognize and proclaim the right
of temporary asylum for every
surviving Jewish man, woman ana
child who can escape from the
Hitherto fury into the territories
of the United Nations.
~. There should be public
acknowledgement of the right OF
every Jewish refugee who can
reach Palestine not only to find
haven but to establish his per-
manent home in that country.
"5. The neutral nations border
ing on Axis occupied territories
should be encouraged by financial
help, by additional supplies and
by appropriate guarantees on the
ultimate disposal of the refugees
brought into their territories, to
secure release of Jews, especially
children, and give them hospital
ity in their own lands or the right
of transit to Ravens of refuge.
&c. A special intergovernmental
agency should be created which,
working in consultation with
Jewish organizations, should be
provided with the resources and
, armed with the authority to sieze
every opportunity to send sup
plies through appropriate chan
nels, provide the means for Jew
ish self-defense and coordinate
and expand the work of rescue
through the underground.
1.-THE Conference recognizes that
all the victims of Nazi oppression,
irrespective of race or faith, are
entitled to aid and succor from
the United Nations. But the stu
alton of the Jews in Europe is
unique in it's tragedy. They have
not only been more deeply wound
ed than any other people, but
alone among all the subject COM
munities they have been doomed
to total destruction by an act of
state. For every one of them
men, women and children-the al
tentative to rescue is deportation
and death.
I'm the name of the Jews of
America, the Conference respect
fully addresses a most earnest
appeal to the President of the
United States not to suffer
democracy to go down in defeat
on the first front opened by Hit
Ter in his war on civilization
The Conference affirms it's faith
that democracy has it in its power
to deny victory on this front to
Hitler and take the fate of the
Jewish people in Europe out of
his hands.
1T is not yet too late. But
time presses"
A resolution asking for Jewish
representation on United Nations
assistance agencies was adopted
after presentation by DR.. Haydn
Fineman of Philadelphia.
1t requested recognition by the
United Nations of the Jewish
claim for representation for the
purposes of advice and coopera-
ton on agencies that have and
will be set up by the United Ma
tons to deal with problems of
relief, rehabilitation, resettlement
and other aspects of postwar re-
construction"

RISE IN COST OF
LIVING POINTED OUT

Washington - The cost of Iiv-
ing for city workers rose IL per
cent from mid-March to mid
April, chiefly because of contin-
ued advances in food prices, Sec
rotary of Labor Frances Perkins
reported this week.
The new advance, Miss Per-
kins said. is somewhat smaller
than for the previous month. It
brought the level of all living
costs to % per cent above Jan
uary, 1941.
Food costs, the most important
part of the family budget, were
up 2.3 per cent from March to
April, Miss Perkins said, adding
that on the average, consumers
now pay $1.4O for food which cost
81 in the years 1859.
Other living costs rose by only
small amounts during the month,
she reported. Prices of clothing,
for example, were up or per cent
on the average. There were
smaller increases for house furn-
ishings, fuel, electricity and ice.
Rents have changed very little
during the past II months, Miss
Perkins said.

TWO BIG u. S. RIVERS
REACH ALL-TTME HIGH

The Mississippi and Arkansas
rivers both reached all-time rec
ord heights Friday in their de-
structive rampages with the Mis-
sissippi circling Cairo, ILL.,, to
form a second junction with the
Ohio river.
The flood waters poured through
an old creek bed and swept to the
new confluence, seven miles a.
bove the geographical meeting of
the rivers.
Cairo itself was in no danger.
Highway bridges and railroad
trestles over the flood basin kept
traffic moving without Interrupt
ton. Two villages in the inun-
dated area already had been eva
cuated. The torrents spread over
several thousand acres of farm
land across the Ohio in Kentucky.
The Mississippi at Cape Girar-
deau, Mo-, scared to 42.4 feet,
highest there in history.
The Arkansas, on its second
devastating flood in three weeks,
climbed to 1877 feet at Pin Bluff,
as compared with previous
high of 80 feet in 1885. An addi-
tional rise of two-tenths of foot
was expected.

During the past month Chevro-
let dealers collected 8,648, 254
pounds or 1924 tons of vital scrap

tai for the past nine months to

HOLIDAY FATALITIES
ARE FEWER THIS YEAR

The nation so far has observed
one of its safest combination Me-
mortal Day-weekends in years.
With gasoline and other re-
strictions keeping many automo-
biles in garages, with workers
busy in war plants, and with mil
lions of men and women. serving
in the armed forces, unofficial re-
ports listed only rs persons the
victims of violent deaths as the
holiday neared the close Sunday
of its second day of observance.
Of this total 40 were traffic
fatalities, 10 were drownings and
26 were caused by trains, planes,
shootings, fires and by other
means.
The low number of road acct
dents indicated that the total cas-
ualty list might be substantially
lower than the National Safety
councils prediction of ESQ deaths
for the three-day holiday.
Council statistics snow that $50
persons were killed during the
corresponding three days last
year while new high Of 480 was
set in the pre-War year of 1941.

Much Longer Life Is Now
Seen For Man OF Future

Hot Springs, Va.-The man of
the future was pictured here last
week in a preview of reports to
be made by the United Nations
Food Conference, as a being of
greatly increased efficiency who
will live 10 years longer than his
present-day counterpart.
Surgeon General Thomas Par
ram of the U. S. Public Health
Service, member of the Ameri-
can delegation, told correspond
ents that the conference will rec
ommend nutrition program
which, if applied generally, would
result in better health and longer
life for all mankind.
I'VE are agreed that it is a
prime responsibility of a govern
ment to see that it's people are
better fed" he said. Advances in
knowledge of nutrition since the
last war "have implications for
the future of the human race no
less important than the discover
les of Pasteur concerning germ
causation of disease" he added.
Through nutritional science it is
now possible to develop standards
of health as important as those
achieved from the control of in
fection."
Parran said that mo nation has
ever conquered hunger" and that
the amount of food produced in
the world never has been suffi-
cient to feed mankind satisfactory
lily.
The greatest possible increase
IN agricultural production will
not for decades provide enough
food TO rthe basic needs of the
human population" he said. But
he quickly added this conference
intends to set up standards and
declare in favor of governmental
responsibilities which work to-
ward the goal of a better-fed and
more efficient human race.
The standard for health set up
here can be translated into speci-
fic foods by the different govern
ments," he said. eve are not
planning to impose an American
diet on the rest of the world. Di-
cts everywhere can be improved
by building on what people are
already accustomed to-"
He praised the work of the con-
ference, saying that never before
had he seen more unanimity or
more competent delegates.

CONGRESS FLOODED BY
PETITIONS FOR F. S. A

Washington Representative
John H. Folger and other mem
bers of the North Carolina House
Delegation said they had been
flooded" with petitions from cit
liens requesting that Congress
make adequate provision for con-
tinuance of the Farm Security
Administration.
Even the churches have taken
up the FSA's cause, Folger re-
lated, as he read petitions signed
by the Women's Society for Chris
tan Service of the Concord
Church at Clemmons and Midway
Church, Route 2, Reidsville.
A Senate appropriations sub
committee is now holding hear
ings on FSA allotments. The
House recently passed an agri-
cultural appropriations bill that
had been pretty we'll stripped Of
FSA features. The House action
was accomplished by both friends
an denemieS of FSA.
The enemies wanted to kill the
whole agency, while the friends
barred by House rules from Of
fering amendments, preferred to
see certain items totally elimina-
ted, to be left to Senate consider
alton, rather than have them
emaSculated.
