WITHIN the last fortnight, there
w have been held in the United
States two great conferences in
which the Jewish people have taken
common counsel to help rebuild
people shattered by war, and TO re-
new and to fortify all that was best
and noblest in the life Of that people
at its highest.
To Atlantic City came delega-
tions from 81 countries to attend the
war emergency conference Of the
World Jewish Congress which was
convened to discuss Jewish postwar
problems and to map plans for the
rehabilitation Of devastated Jewish
communities.
This first international wartime
meeting of the World Jewish Con-
gress, since it was organized in 1896,
was as representative as one could
expect in view of all the circum-
stances.
We were hosts to Jews from all
American lands, from all English
speaking countries, from France and
its North African lands, from Egypt,
from Poland and Czecho- o-Slovakia,
and above all from Palestine, soon,
We pray, to be transformed into
free and democratic commonwealth.
There were some who were alb
sent from this meeting.
The largest number of the Jews
of central and eastern Europe sent
no representatives, for millions of
them had died in the last five years,
destroyed by degenerate men who
had determined to dominate the
free peoples of the world.

Jewish Leader Makes Plea

Detroit evening times., 1944-12-17

WITHIN a few days after the
w meeting at Atlantic City, there
was convened in Pittsburgh the sec
ond session Of the American Jewish
Conference, a representative and
democratic agency established year
ago to speak and act for American
Jews on all matters concerned with
the postwar reconstruction of the
Jewish people.
To this meeting came representa-
tives of 30 national Jewish member
ship organization and delegates
elected by the major communities
throughout the United States.
Held under separate auspices and
representing different constituencies,
these two conferences had neverthe-
less a common interest and a COM
mon purpose.
They were resolved that the Jews
themselves must have a part in the
shaping and forging Of their future.
They were resolved that the full
est justice shall be done to every
people Of the earth in the new world
order to be established when the war
ends, and they were insistent that
the Jewish people be satisfied with
nothing less than the fullest measure
Of justice when the peace is won.
1t is significant that neither con-
ference was primarily concerned
with relief or philanthropy.
We Jews do not ask charity from
the world. We, who have been the
first to resist Hitler's assault on civil
ization, who were the first to suffer
great casualties in our defense of the
democratic way Of life, and who have
marched in the front ranks of every
army Of the United Nations and
every guerilla detachment, are de-
termined that Jews, both as indi-
viduals and as a people, shall be
accorded equality and freedom in
fullest measure in the days of recon
struction ahead.
THE resolutions adopted at both
L conferences were not dissimilar
and signify once more the unity of
the Jewish people in its demands for
the future.
Both conferences asked that
there be united Jewish representa-
ton which shall speak in behalf of
Jews everywhere in the world in the
councils Of the United Nations and
which shall be so recognized by the
United Nations.
The Jews, who have suffered pro-
portionately greater casualties than
any other people in this war, can
ask for no less

American Jewish Conference.
The United Nations can grant no
less.
Vast numbers of innocent men,
women and children are dead today
because the United Nations did not
recognize the threat to civilization
implicit in the Fascist doctrine deny
ing equality and affirming domina-
tion by force.
In the building Of the peace, the
United Nations must recognize the
equality Of peoples as a cardinal
concept.
And so, both American Jewry
and the spokesmen of Jewry from
all over the world who met at the
conference are united in their de-
mands for an international bill Of
rights, which will guarantee both
individual and group rights.
1t is fundamental condition of
the future peace.
A world at peace must insist on
these guarantees in every land if it
is to remain at peace.
Mans memory is short, but we
must never forget that the first shot
was sounded in this world war when
the Nazis made the oppression Of
minorities an instrument of interna-
tionai policy.
"A world which permits Jews to
be warred upon by any nation will
find itself at war everywhere. This
is an incontrovertible truth.
WE PROPOSE the creation of a
w centralized Jewish agency for
reconstruction, for indemnification,
for rehabilitation, and the establish
ment of an international refugee
agency with power to act-and we
pray that the word refugee will
soon be banished from the vocabu-
larry of civilized man.
We plead anew for the rescue Of
those Jews who still can be snatched
from the gestapo.
We are convinced that their res
cue is still possible, consistent with
the effective prosecution of the war.
Both the American Jewish con-
ference at Pittsburgh and the war
emergency conference of the World
Jewish Congress at Atlantic City in
sist upon the reconstruction of Pales-
tine as free and democratic Jewish
commonwealth.
This must come to pass as one of
the moral triumphs of the global
war.
The English speaking peoples, l
am confident, desire it; the Soviet
Union cannot fail to give its concur
renee.
The failure to establish Palestine
as the Jewish national home would
mark the tragic failure of the global
war.
| venture to prophesy that the
free and democratic Jewish common
wealth will become one of the abid-
ing achievement of this great
struggle.
The Christian world owes to the
Jew reparation for all the centuries
of wrong and hurt and humiliation
PREPARATION for the awful and
tragic Hitler years.
A free and democratic Jewish
commonwealth means nothing more
than justice to the Jew, freedom for
the Jew, Jewish equality, with all
the free peoples of earth.
WE THANK God that victory is
W soon to crown the glorious and
Incompatible strength of the United
Nations.
1t is strength derived not alone
from material and human resource,
but from the passionate dedication
to the ideals which men have cher
ished since the beginning of time.

Allied Straffers
Hit Canadians

CANADIAN 1ST ARMY HEAD
QUARTERS, France, Aug. 10. CUP)
Allied attack planes have accident
ally machine gunned some Cana
dian troops while Strafing the
chaotic German line of flight in
Normandy, headquarters spokesman
revealed Saturday.
The accidental Strafing, which re-
suited in an undisclosed number of
casualties, was revealed in a mes
sage sent to all First Army officers
by Lieutenant General H. ID. G..
Crerar, commander of the Canadian
First Army.
Crerar acknowledged that some
ground troops had been hit by fire
from their own planes during Fri
days heavy attack but asserted that
the damage inflicted en- the enemy
was sufficiently great to justify the
risk involved and that the strating
would be continued.
Staff officers pointed out that
frequently the Canadians were al
most on top of the retreating Ger
mans. making it difficult for the
attacking fliers to single out their
targets.
They emphasized that attack
planes cross the lines at speeds of
400 miles an hour or more and ac-
tually are over the enemy troops for
only a matter of seconds and then
find Themselves over their ground
forces.

Included in the $4,000 outlay
are cutfall sewer, $4,000; water
