that Mussolini accepted the reply
in good humor and escorted DR..
Weizmann to the door with the
promise that his government
would be friendly to Zionism. This
promise was adhered to until Hit
Ter began to press his yoke upon
II Duce and the italian people.
When the war broke out, Musso-
lini completely forgot about his
pledge to Weizmann. The bomb
ing of Tel Aviv and Haifa were
proof that the man to whom mil
lions had looked as a savior had
turned into a bigot and tyrant.
The instigation conducted by the
Italian. radios among Arabs led to
bloodshed and attacks upon limo
cent Jews.
Now Mussolini probably wishes
that he had listened to his Jewish
friends who advised him not to
follow in Hitler's footsteps. The
Arch of Titus, established in
Rome as a momento of what was
intended to serve as a signal of
the destruction of Judea, must
now remind the Duce that Israel
remains indestructible and that
those who seek Jewry's fall meet
their own doom.

Back in 1925, DR.. Chain Weiz-
mann had occasion to confer with
Italy's present discarded Caesar,
Benito Mussolini.
At that time the italian gov
eminent was not too favorable to
Zionist aspirations. Furthermore,
the Vatican had not given encour-
agement to Jewish efforts to
modernize and rehabilitate Pales-
tine.
DR.. Weizmann therefore went
to Rome, obtained an audience
with Mussolini and explained
aims to him.
Mussolini turned to the Zionist
leader and said:
"You are talking to me, Signor
Weizmann, in the name OF all the
Jewish people, but you can not
denv that it is not all the Jewish
people who are Zionists."
DR.. Weizmann did not hesitate
to reply:
But, your excellency, amongst
Vol are all the Italians Ease

DIR. GOLDSTEIN TO BE
SOLE NOMINEE FOR

New York (JPS)-Zionist lead
ers have agreed that DR.. Israel
Goldstein, President of the Jewish
National Fund and of the Syna-
gogue Council of America, should
be the sole nominee for the Presi-
dency of the Zionist Organization
of America at the Forthcoming
convention of the organization in
September, it was announced here
by DR.. Stephen S. Wise, Chairman
of the American Emergency Com
mite for Zionist Affairs and
founder of the 2. o. A.
DR.. Wise disclosed further that
DR.. Abba Hillel Silver, National
Chairman of the United Palestine
Appeal and of the United Jewish
Appeal, would be called upon to
become Co-Chairman with DR..
Wise Of the American Emergency
Committee for Zionist Affairs and
to undertake the Craftsmanship of
its Executive Committee.

to accept the Presidency of the
2. o. A. should he be elected to
that office, in a statement issued
to the members of his committee,
satisfaction with the
agreement.

DR.. Goldstein appealed for a
united Zionist movement in order
to meet the present crisis. He
pledged to summon the best forces
n American Jewish life to strength
en- the Zionist movement and to
carry out its political program.
Discussing the forthcoming
American Jewish Conference, he
declared that every effort will
be made to persuade the non
Zionists" that the Biltmore Pro-
gram, advocating the establish
ment of a Jewish Commonwealth
in Palestine, lis the only realistic
approach. Should they find them
selves unable to accept it," he
continued, lit is to be hoped that
the majority opinion will be the
guiding principle and that all
segments of American Jewish life
who are to be represented at the
Conference will act in accordance
with the will of the overwhelming
majority of Jews"
In order to rescue the victims
of Axis tyranny, DR.. Goldstein
declared the ranks of American
Zionists must be closed Unity

cause it was the trend of the times.
Obviously, wartime conditions
call for extra guidance, extra con-
troll, extra discipline. Parents should
take stock of the discipline - or the
lack of it - in their families, and
consider how it might be improved
or frightened up. They should follow
definite rules as to what young
people may do. where they may 60.

standard of whether or not it is

She starts running around with other
men in uniform, then ends UP in
a house of ill fame.
That Is q common progression
- so common that it is adding
up to major tragedy.
And here is the more violent type
of progression. A girl quits going to
school and Sunday school, begins
going to dives. She gets coarse and
vulgar, while her parents stand by
and do nothing. and when a police
man attempts to reason with her.
she throws a brick at him. She is
sent to training school, then re-
leased. Within few weeks she is
back in the hands of the law again,
for picking up men and blackjacking
them.
Another effect of the war, of
course, is that it is making it pos
sible for many youngsters to earn
more money than ever before. For
youngsters who have been trained
in no higher motives than self-grati-
fication. that is merely an opportu-
nifty for loose living. Count the cheap
places of entertainment in your
neighborhood, and study the ages
of the customers, if you doubt it.
Parents TO Blame
! AM not blaming the youngsters.
l am trying. very definitely. to do
exactly the opposite - to put the
blame, where it belongs. on my own
generation. which has failed in its
responsibility to its children. We
failed in the years before the war,

Parent Teacher Associations should
make a definite effort to see to it
that the discipline in the homes and
in the schools is coordinated - that
the school discipline is sound. and
that parents are kept aware of any
special disciplinary problems. and
what they can do about them.
The average parent. am con-
vinced, is too easily overwhelmed
by that old argument that: "All the
other kids are allowed to do it,"
Somebody has to draw the line
somewhere, or this justification can
spread out like chain letter. Of
course different parents have differ
ent ideas about what their children
should be allowed to do, but it is
time that parents began to find some
definite lines on which to unite.

a definite hour when that young
crowd breaks up and heads for home.
Discipline, of course, is not an
end in itself. But tempered with
understanding and affection. it is a
protective measure which is criti-
cally needed right now. More than
that. it is the only guide to self
discipline.

disclosure that he left Washington

until November %, this suggested
the possibility that he crossed the
