Yanks Are Coming

Yielding to strong pressure from
the Second American army of Lieut.,
Gen. George S. Patton, Axis troops
fell back to their last stronghold in
northern Tunisia. there to await the
final assault of the Allied forces.
Even as they were being regrouped
for the decisive battle, American
units pressed forward against their
fortified positions in the mountains.
The Axis took up their new posi-
tons along the last perimeter of
defenses ringing the great naval
base of Bizerte, after Yankee in
fantry had cleaned them out of the
strategic hill country to the west.
Advancing under the Of
heavy artillery. American troops
braved scathing machine gun and
mortar fire to crawl up the scraggly
slopes and ferret the enemy from
their entertainments. Then they
swept into Mateur, strategic rail
and road junction 10 miles south of
BiZerte.
In the central sector, the Axis
maintained their massed armored
columns to stand off the British First
army along the level approaches to
the gateway of TuniS.

TO THE EDITOR;
WE WISH to convey our
W thanks for the splendid
article which appeared in The
Detroit Times May 3. 1913. titled
Fate of $1,000 Polish Prisoners
Remains Mystery This worthy
article plainly indicates that you
gentlemen definitely understand
the problem of Poland with re-
Spect 10 her eastern ncighbor.
II seems only iuStitiable that
Soviet Russia as one Of the
Allied United Nations should
assist in solving the above men
toned mysterious disappearance
of Polish prisoners. Instead, she
has been sarcastic about the
matter. breaking off relations
with the government of Poland
in exile and has endeavored 10
discourage the impartial investl-
cation of the International Red
Cross.
In the event that. Great
Britain and the Limited States
chooSe~tO leave this mystery I'M
solved, then the conquered and
neutral nations of Europe have
no choice between freedom and
slavery. except the choice be-
tween slavery Of Na2i Germany
or Communistlc Russia.
As a result, this is the propa-
Canda which the Germans are
eager 10 spread amongst these
smaller nations in order TO con
vince them that the United
states and Great Britain must
adjust themselves to the SovletS
and that they arc not capable
Of carrying on their own politics.

Personalities At
The Conference
BY SHIRLEY CHARDKOFF
Especial Southern Jewish Weekly
representative at the American
Jewish Conference)

Henry Minsky: He is doing a
top grade job as chairman of this
Conference. His is an iron hand
in kid glove. He possesses a
great deal of charm his pictures
do not reveal.
When he first mentioned in his
opening address Ito rebuild their
national homeland" he received an
ovation. Then he added, May I
say you made a serious error
when you think I've devoted only
one paragraph to Palestine. -
and he had the grace to blush as
the whole conference laughed
with him.
Stephen Wise: One is left con-
scious of his "elocution" and not
swayed by the content of his
words. Is he getting so old L?
His horror portrayal of the for
eign scene was a Cecil B. DeMille
production. However, he woke up
to genuine fire las of old) at
the end Of his speech when in a
grand finale he quoted Ben Cur
ion ut would be wrong to
consider the Jew in Palestine in
capable of deeds of despair"
Judge Joseph M. PrOskauer:
can well believe my colleague,
Carl Alpert, that this was prob
ably the first time he had ad-
dressed a public mass meeting.
He shys away from the mike. He
speaks of formula-not of the
birth of a nation. He received a
big hand with his pro-Palestine
commitments" and speaks of the
ultimate form" of Palestine,
carefully skirting any pro-Zionist
policy. We held our breath a

ifestos or proclamations in refer
ence to the important role of
Palestine in any such plan; but
rather to take such preliminary
steps as will result in a course
of action and procedure calculated
to accomplish the single objective,
devoutly desired, of some basis of
agreement between the diverse
and conflicting groups that con-
stitute the American Jewish COM
munity." So stating the purpose
of the Conference he continued,
American Jews, in collaboration
with other Jewish communities of
the free countries will be requir-
ed to assume a greater measure
of responsibility than at any pre-
vious time in the long, dark his
tory of the Jewish people, for
the preservation of the remnant
of Israel in the war devastated
lands and for the establishment

civilization"
Claiming that "expressions of
sympathy and compassion will
not save human lives" Monsky
called for concrete measures,
promptly planned and expedit-
iously executed as the indispens-
ible imperative.
1--WE must urge the facilitation
of emigration by whatever proper
method it can be brought about"
he declared. I'VE are to consider
and recommend action upon all
matters looking to the imple-
mentation of the rights of the
Jewish people with respect to
Palestine"
Monsky decried the fragrant in
justice of the White Paper of
1889. Speaking forceably of the
"cruel and indefensable act" he
asked that justice shall be done.
LAS Americans and as Jews, the
cause of the United Nations is
doubly ours" the president of
B'nai Birth said and then report
ed the proud record Of the Jews
in all the armies of the United
Nations. 1.-THE Jews will be a.
mong the proud participants in
common victory" he continued.
eff after the war is won, we shall
not lose the peace We wont
no special privileges-we ask
only for simple justice and
equality"
