denounced the Anglo-American

for "sterility'' and called "incon-

forcement of the White Paper.
The New York Democrat, in a

$4,000 Jews Seen
Rescued In Tunisia

London (JPS)-Although no re-

ION in Tunisia has been made in
many years, it is believed that
|ome $4,000 Jews, the majority of
mem in Tunis, on the site of an

Pnen British troops drove the
Hxls invaders out of the French
lrotectorate.
The swift victory of Allied
|orces in Tunis prevented the full
pllment of Nazi plans for a pog-
ON on the Jews of that city, ac-
|ording to reports reaching here.
Although they were forced to
pave in such haste that they were
'nable to follow the precedent set
y Axis forces in Gafsa and Sfax,
ne Nazis did take with them all
ne money and valuables that they
ould acquire, leaving the Jews
enniless and starving.

CordeIl Hull, U. S. Secretary of
State, says in his message that
of all the inhuman and tyran-
meal acts of Hitler and his Nazi
lieutenants, their systematic per-
secution of the Jewish people
men, women, children-is the
most debased. The fate of these
unhappy people must be ever be-
fore us in the effort we are MAX
ing today for the final victory.
The United Nations will be pre-
pared not only to redeem their
hopes of a future world based
upon freedom, equality AMI JUS
tice, but to create world in
which such a tragedy will not
again occur. The Jews have long
sought a refuge. I believe that
we must have an even wider OBJ
jective; we must have a world in
which the Jews: like every other
race, are free to abide in peace
and in honor"
