MANY PRECEDENTS

There are many precedeniS
for such action of rescue IN the
midst of the war a number of
political refugees have been adj
mitted on a temporary basis 10
America and other countries.
The population of Greece was
saved from starvation under ar
.rangements made with the AXIS
countries.

which civilized humanity
would bear were it paSsiyely 70

PEELED 10 state that none Of the
steps undertaken by the United
Nations, none OF the agencies
created by them 10 date, has
served TO save the doomed Jews
Of Europe 10 any appreclable
extent.
The conference has, therefore
probed into ways and means OF
saving these human beings from
impending doom. II has sought
for methods Of achieving this
end. which would be at once
feasible and effective, and which
would not conflict with the
prosecution Of the war.
Detroit evening times., 1943-08-20
Basic Conclusions

As A result of It's deibera-
tions. the emergency conference
has arrived at these three basic
conclusions:
I That saving the Jewish
people Of Europe constitutes a
specific problem which should
be dealt with as such. not as
part Of the general refugee
problem.
2 That most Of the 1000. 1000
surviving Jews Of Europe can
be saved from annlhilation prior
10 the cessation Of hoStilitles,
without detriment TO the sue
cessful prosecution Of the war.
2 That a specific government
tai agency should be created
for that purpose.

Here is a challenge 70 the

cannot be shIrked save by gross
violation of the dictates of JUS

fronts humanity Is whether the

Preamble

In this global war in which
we are engaged and which will
decide the fate Of humanity for
generations, h human tragedies
have occurred on an unprece-
dented scale. But the plight of
the Jewish people in Europe
stands out unique. Non-Jews in
Axis dominated countries un-
dergo unbelievable SufferingS,
enSlavement, sem starvation,
and death. But Jews alone have
been singled out for mass de-
struction as a people.
Their complete determination
is the professed policy of Ger
many. Moreover. the escaped
patriots of occupied countries
have been enabled, by the
formation of auxiliary forces of
the United Nations, TO partake
in the battle against HItler's
armies on other fronts,
This opportunity for resistance
preserves the moral dignity Of
peoples. But the Jews alone
have been deprived Of this OPP

BILE deportation, equal food

medical and health resources.
The carrying out of this under
taking should be supervised by
the international Red Cross or
by neutral governments mutu-
ally agreed upon.
There are good grounds for
the belief that the satellite gov
ernments of Germany, convinced
as they are of the inevitable
defeat of the AXIS, will agree
TO this request
2 If necessary, importation Of
limited quantities of food and
medical supplies should be per-
mitted into AXiS-held territory
with a view TO providing the
Jews the same amount OF nour-
ishment as is received by-nen-
Jews, These supplies should be
distributed under the supervi-

Uncle Rays Corner

II we look back into history, we
find strange ways Of punishment
which were common In the past.
These included the stocks and the
"pillory."
When a man was sent to the
stocks. he sat on a bench and
stretched his legs out in front OF
him. Each foot extended through
an opening in stout board, and the
opening was adjusted so the foot
could not be pulled back.
The stocks were used TO punish
small crimes" Usually man was
forced to stay In them no more than
few hours, but the punishment
was open to public view.
The pillory was an invention Of
much the same kind, but was some
what harder to bear. A man had
to stand while he was in the pill
lory. with his neck and hands held
In place.
The pillory was wooden post
which rose from small platform,
and which held up two boards.
The boards were cut so they would
allow space for the neck and the
wrists. After the prisoner took his
position, the upper board was low
cred and locked.
For an hour or two the man
stood there. He might be q mer-
chant who had given short meas
ure to his customers. or he might
have been found guilty of false
witness.
1t was looked upon as a disgrace
to be placed in the pillory. Crowds
gathered to watch and shout. Some
persons were not content to let the
| law take its course; they added to
the misery of the prisoner by throw
ing rotten eggs or mud at him. No
doubt mistakes were made in some
cases, and innocent persons suf-
| fered.
In 1887 new laws in England
brought danger to freedom of the
press. Men were told that If they
printed book without a license
they would be placed In the pill
lory. The same punishment was
to be theirs If they printed libel
of any kind. Several well-known
writer's went to the pillory, and it
seemed that the past freedom Of
the press might be gone for good.
On a July day in 1903, pris-
oner named Daniel Defoe was led
to the pillory. Twas said that he
had written book which put the
government in Ill favor. Again the
next day, and the next, Defoe stood
IN the pillory, but no one threw
anything at him. Instead the people
gathered to cheer him, and to toss
flowers on the platform.
The use Of the pillory at length
came to an end. For 1O6 years no
one In England has been punished
in this way.

There Is no fault to be found with
the bidding. An extra heart in
North's hand or an extra diamond in
either hand would have made the
contract a laydown, and with the
cards he actually held the declarer
should have made his contract.
West opened the spade jack and
after winning the trick declarer gra-
tuitously announced, We'll, it all
depends on the club f1nesse."
Whereupon declarer saved a lot of
time and lost lot of points by
leading a club and finessing dunn
my's ten. East gathered in the
queen, and Vests heart ace set the
slam.
South was perfectly right in his
conclusion. Nothing would help him
make the hand except to win the
club hnesse. But there was no
hurry about taking it. In fact, a
lew more plays would have given
MIN some vital information as to
the probable location of the club
queen.
South should have played his
King OF hearts and continued the suit
until West took his ace and North
had cashed his long heart. Then, if
west himself had not led a second
SPADE, declarer should have done so,
revealing Vests six-card suit. Two
rounds Of diamonds would then ac-
count for II of Vests IS cards
Since West could have at most two
clubs, mathematical odds favored
the finesse against East, which
would have won the slam.
