DIR. GOLDENSON OPENS: Jew
ish nationalism tends to stress the
racial and tribal elements of early
Jewish history. But to me the Jewish
people constitute essentially a reli-
gious community. For their own good
and the good of the world, they
should now more than ever empha-
size the purely moral and spiritual
aspects Of their heritage.
l fear that Jewish state in Pales-
tine will not only prove disappoint-
ing but even add to Jewish prob
lens. At best Palestine can absorb
but fraction of the Jewish people.
| The country is small and largely oc-
Ecupied, it's resources limited; its neigh
bors hostile to the proposed Jewish
state.
To help comparatively small num-
Der under such unfavorable condi-
tons, Jewish nationaliSm would
change the nature of Jewish thinking
from spiritual preoccupations to po-
litical ones, and thus bring about en-
tanglements for them and further
misunderstanding of them wherever
they live.
For practical reasons, as well as
| ideal ones, we Jews should in these
tragic days pour all our energies into
the creation of a society in which
ones security and freedom will no.
where be dependent upon race, color
or creed but rather upon qualities of
mind and heart and upon willingness
to play a useful part in the commu
nifty in which one lives.
COL. MENDELSOHN CHAL-
LENGES: The hypothesis that Jew
ish nationalisn would bring entan-
clements and further misunderstood
ings of the Jews wherever they live"
| is as falracious as is the assertion
| that because certain elements are
hostile TO the proposed Jewish stale"
| the Jewish people must be condemned
| forever to remain people apart from
the rest of the human family. Rabbi
Goldenson's contradictory contention
that "at best Palestine can absorb
but a fraction of the Jewish people"
emphasizes the sterility of his argu-
ment. The Jewish National State as
WO04A d00OAO Why q
fraction of the Jewish people-that
fraction which through ruthlessness
is rendered homeless.
DIR. GOLDENSON REPLIES: The
Colonel dismisses the hostility to the
Jewish state as unworthy of consid-
Grafton. If hostile attitudes could be
so easily brushed aside, there would
be no Jewish problem.
But to the President of the Hebrew
University at Jerusalem, DR.. Judah
L. Magnes, who has been in Pales-
tine for twenty years the hostility to
the Jewish state is exceedingly seri-
Gus. In his article in Foreign Affairs,
January number, Dr.. Magnes said:
Another people has been in posses
sion for centuries, and the concept
of Palestine as Jewish state is re-
garded by many Arabs as equivalent
to declaration of war against them"

TIE FOUR FRONTS: One year
of war marks historic new
achievements for American Wom-
en- in every field. On the home
front, the production front, the
business trent and the military
front, Mrs. America and her
Daughters are IN the tight-to
win.
At the end of 1912 there were
100000 American women at
work in war industries, turning
out planes and bullets, tanks and
guns for our armed forces and
those of all our Allies. BY the
end of 1943 the figure rose to APP
ximately 100000, three times
as many women as were engaged
in war work during the first
World War.
At the end of our first year
oil war $4,000 women We're wear
ing the uniform Ct the Women's
Auxiliary Army Corps, with
total Of 10000 expected by the
end Ct 1913.
Some 1900 women already are
wearing the navy blue of the
VEs, with a total enrolment

COL. MENDELSOHN OPENS: Since
Hadrian's destruction of the. Temple
and the dispersal of the Jewish Ma
ton, the Jews have been wanderers
upon the face of the earth. f H.
A minority people in every land,
with no centralized, governing body;
the Jewish people have everywhere
been looked upon as strangers and
interlopers; and, under conditions of
economic stress, or, subject to the
whims of tyrannous rulers, or to'bol-
Ster the stock of ambitious I'M
scrupulous demagogues, or just out
of the sheer anti-Semitism of things.
the Jew has been at the mercy of one
or other of these evil influences, with
no State to which he might look for
succor and support. In this Citadel
of Democracy, an undercurrent of
anti-Semitic inference manifests it.
self, no remedy has been discovered.
Only creation of a Jewish National
State, with responsible Jewish Gov
eminent, where Jews fleeing from
persecution, may find sanctuary, and
every Jew from lands where there
is no discrimination, shall feel free
to enter as he would enter the home
of his ancestral heritage: only then,
will all Jews in all lands be accorded
full and complete rights of Citizen
ship, in practice as in theory, equal
to the rights accorded to every other
citizen of whatever nationality.
DIR. GoLDENSON CHALLENGES:
Underlying the Coloners statement
is the assumption that antiSemftiSm
is due to the fact that the Jew does
not have national home of his own.
That explanation is both question
able and misleading.
Besides, why should tiny Pales-
tinian state be able to change the
status of the Jew? Unfortunately, the
importance of nations is measured by
their power. Great nations are de-
scribed as great Powers. Even the
advocates of the Jewish state do not
think that Palestine will be able to
stand upon its own feet, since they
expect that country to be under the
protectorate of some powerful nation.
COL. MENDELSOHN REPLIES: A
Jewish National State would afford
refuge to which the Jew could flee
from the anti-Semite as one fees a
mad dog. Nor would General Giraud
say-"he is willing to give the Jews
in North Africa their property and
allow Jewish children in the schools
gradually. How important would
any of the Great Powers" be. but
for the United Nations battling for
the security of all of them.
The sovereignty of the tiniest Pal
alestinian state must be assured as
that of the greatest nation; else the
tremendous sacrifices - Gentle and
Jewish-will have been in vain.

'Dceibels are tricky. A level OF

So the top level Of 100 is not 100

SUNDAY A HIGH DAY AT
ROSE HILL

During t h e middle of November,
the official board of Rose Hill Meth
odist Church met and designated the
first Sunday in December as day
on the building program. We were
praying and trusting that the Bishop
would return our pastor, for at least
another year, however, he saw fit to
send US a new pastor, in the person
of Reverend H. D. Smith, and we are
happy to say that Reverend Smith
has taken things in hand to the ex-
tent that we feel like he has been
here for sometime.
The attendance was very good dur
ing the eleven o'clock service and two
persons, adults, joined the church.
During the evening services, a seat
was premium, and eight more adults
joined the church, making a total of
ten adult members added to our mem
bership. Three of this number were
men, something our church was in
dire need of.
When all reports were in a total of
S129.76 had been laid on the table,
with some captains to report later.
The members of Rose Hill have a
spirit to work and we are praying
that nothing will happen to blyth this
wonderful spirit Harmony, peace,
and good will are written all over the
walls in invisible ink.
