An Unworthy Statement

gard to the suppression of the terror
lists in Palestine echo the united WiU
of Palestine Jewry that this must be
done.
"The Jews OF Palestine are re-
solUed to crush the terror by all
means at their disposal and in that
purpose they are supported by the
entire Zionist movement in this
country"
So Mr.. Churchill does not merely
have the assurance he asks, but al
ready had it WITHOUT ASKING.
TT rs pertinent to this whole situa-
l. ton, as DR.. Silver says, that the
existence of terrorism in Palestine
is attributable far more to faults in
British policy than to the Jewish
community itself.
"The hateful and criminal acts of
these half crazed youths" he eau
tions, reflect the tensions produced
by the anomalous political situation
in Palestine and the urgent need for
an early and just solution of the
question of the future of the JeWish
national home"
The vital source of these tensions
and terrorism is the Incompetent
sible failure and refusal of the
British government, having response
bility for Palestine, to give the
Jewish community either arms or
authority to cope with restless and
reckless elements.
The moral and spiritual value of
the Jewish homeland is universally
acknowledged.
The practical success of the enter
prise to date, despite all difficulties
and distractions, is a matter of
established fact.
It would be crime against the
civilized world, and shame upon it,
if aid and comfort given to the
enemies of the Jewish people by
their supposed friends should result
in the collapse of the national home
land and thus in the defeat of essen
tial justice.

FNHE recent assassination in Cairo
i of Lord Moyne, British resident
minister in the Near East, by terror
lists associated with but wholly UN-
REPRESENTATIVE of the Jewish
community in Palestine has had sew
eral tragic results.
The immediate tragedy was, of
course, the deplorable crime itself.
An infinitely greater tragedy is
inherent in the opportunities given
by this inexcusable and indefensible
crime to enemies of the Jewish
people in Palestine, and throughout
the world, to capitalize the incident
to the detriment of the cause OF
Jewish resettlement and rehabllita.
ton.
TN CONNECTION with the latter
i phase of the matter, Prime Min
lister Churchill has been guilty of a
singularly ill-considered and unfor-
tunate observation.
"f our dreams for Zionism are
to end in the smoke of the assassin's
pistol and our labors for the future
are to produce a neW set OF gongsters
worthy of Maxi Germany" MIR.
Churchill said, "then many like my
self would haze to reconsider the
position we haUe maintained so con-
sistently and so long in the past"
This was spoken in anger, and
was unworthy of Mr.. Churchill and
UNFAIR to the Jewish cause and
people.
In advance of his statement, Mr..
Churchill had received and should
have been deferred by message
from DR.. Chain Weizmann, presi-
dent of the Jewish Agency for Pales-
tine, saying, with reference to the
Moyne assassination:
"Palestine Jerpry DiH go to the
utmost limit of its potUers to cat out
this euil from its midst"
Even after Mr. Churchill's in
temperate statement, Dr. Able Hillel
Silver, co-chairman of the American
Zionist Emergency Council, said:

Correct an. Injustice

accuracy count. He must be fast and
at the same time accurate; accurate
enough to have PASSING mark
of 95 per cent.
At this time the post office clerk
is working long hours and irregular
ones. The post office is never closed.
The majority Of the work is done on
the midnight and evening tours Of
duty.
The midnight men work all night
on the incoming mail, readying it for
delivery on the next day. The eve
ming men work the outgoing mail,
dispatching it to the trains for its
destination.
Both of these tours of duty de-
prive the men of their home and
family life.
In trying times such as these, the
post office clerk is very essential in
expediting the mail. But he is not
so essential so as to be draft exempt
as are some other agencies of our
government.
THE war has come to the post
i office and has taken many Of our
most skilled mail distributors. These
men-that is, some of them-have
been replaced by older and much
more inexperienced men.
With all due respect to these men
who are new in our ranks, what the
men at war have learned, these men
cannot learn overnight. 1t takes
many years Of study and scheme ex-
aminations to make post office
clerk.
Our men in the post office handle
the mail, and dispatch the mail, for
our fighting men. 1t is very impor-
tant to them that this mail get to its
destination as swiftly as possible.
After all, many Of these men have
sons and daughters in the service,
too.
And again, many of our men
served in World War l. Therefore,
they know what these letters and
parcels mean to the boy and girl far
away from home.
Lastly, we of the postal service
are fighting on the home front for
benefits that will also benefit our
brothers in the service so that when
they return to this beloved America
they may take up where they left off,
finding their position in the post Of
flee improved by anything that we
may have accomplished for them and
for ourselves.
The passage Of bill-and there
is one now in Congress, the Weiss
Bill H. r. 4501-will be one Of these
improvements. Another, for a sal
airy increase, is sponsored by Senator
James M. Mead Of New York.
