NEW YORK, Feb. 1s.-Oscar r.
Ewing, vice chairman of the Demo-
cratic National Committee, Just re-
turned from tour of the Northwest,
says political sentiment there has
shifted sharply in favor of the re-
election OF President Roosevelt.
He attributed the trend to a
growing realization that the Euro
pean war is far from over. There is
a new appreciation of the need for
and other curtailment Of
civilian activities that aroused re-
sentiment In the Northwest In the
last year, he said.
There is definitely q feeling that
change Of administration at this
time is out Of the question:" Mr..
Ewing reported. He toured Indiana,
Illinois, Idaho, Oregon, Colorado and
Wyoming.
He said majority Of the persons
with whom he spoke believed Wen
dell l.. Willkie and Thomas A.
Dewey would kill each other OH for
the Republican nomination, with the

Mccain Halls Attack.
Strong indications that shattering
damage is being inflicted At Truk
came last night from Vice Admiral
John s. Mccain, deputy chief OF
naval operations who declared Feb
ruary II will become a day "memor-
able" in history.
Admiral Mccain said that current
necessity Of maintaining radio silence
until the battle is over made it i'm
possible to provide any details Of
the daring assault.
But" he continued, II feel sure
that when the details are given out,
you will count today a memorable
day in our country's history.
Memorable Day, He Says.
THE fact that Truk is Japan's
greatest naval base promises a day
memorable also to that enemy which
must hang onto much Of its stolen
property by sea lanes"
He declared the attack was mo
surprise to those of us concerned
since the beginning Of the war with
building up our resources in man
power and material.
1T means" he continued, that
for change We are carrying on
warfare with enough instead of too
little, too late.
1T means that We now have suit
able bases from which to mount
these strikes ever closer to the heart

OVERSEAS FRONT: Jewish
organizations in America are, for
the time being, not in a position
to respond to the appeal Of the
Jews in liberated Poland for a re-
lief delegation to be sent to Lub-
lin Nor are Jewish organiza-
tons in England This is be-
cause the temporary Polish gov
eminent in Lublin is not the on
ly Polish government There
is also a Polish Government in
London The first is recogniz-
ed by Russia but not by the Unit
ed States and England The
second is recognized by England
and America, but not by Russia
A situation is thus created
in which neither the State De-
partment in Washington, nor the
Foreign Office in London can is
sue passports to any delegation
desiring to proceed to liberated
Poland until the two separate
Polish governments merge into
one recognized by all members
of the Allied Nations In the
hope that such a merger will
take place soon, the interested
Jewish relief groups in this coun-
try, especially the Joint Distri-
button Committee, are making
preparations for large-scale re-
lief activities among the surviving
Jews in Poland Plans are al
so being made for relief activities
in Rumania
THE HOME FRONT: Between
now and Election Day a rise in
anti-Jewish propaganda in this
country can be expected +. Jew
ish organizations interested in
such propaganda are
for it No much can
be revealed of the measures they
have taken to fight the injection
of anti-Semitic issues into the
Presidential election campaign {.
Sufficient to say that such meas
ures have been taken And
in this respect complete unity pre-
walls among all interested Jew
ish groups Zionist circles in
Canada are specializing whether
the Palestine problem will be
dealt with at the Roosevelt
Churchill conference now taking !
place in Quebec . 1t is believ-
ed that the conference will dis
cuss, among other questions, the
status of national minorities
In this connection it is assumed
that the Palestine issue may come
up for discussion The Amerl-
can Jewish Committee, under the
direction of DR.. John Slawson,

BETWEEN YOU AND ME

its executive vice-president, is
now developing more active
policy of acquainting the Jewish
communities throughout the coun-
try with its activities More
than 300 community organizations
are given an intensive service on
various Jewish questions on
day-to-day basis And the
public relations department of the
Committee is also doing a good
job The latest step in pop
ularizing the activities of the
American Jewish Committee is
the publication of an eight-page
booklet which summarizes,
among other things, the attitude
of the Committee towards Pal
estine -.
FRIENDLY CRITICISM: Much
criticism has been voiced recent
ly against the American Jewish
Conference by many of its friends
+. But none of the critics is as
outSpOken as Daniel Frisch,
member of its Interim Committee
On the eve of the second
session of the Conference, which
is to take place in Pittsburg early
in December, Frisch has issued a
special pamphlet asking what
Happened to the American Jewish
Conference" He charges the
Conference with inactivity and
especially with failure to take a
firm attitude towards the prob
lem of reScuing Jews in Europe
from determination He finds
that the leadership of the Confer
ence is monopolized by a few
people and represents, chiefly, |
vested organizational interests i
He claims that the leaders of |
the body turned out to be the
heads of other organizations
which would not yield their pre-
rogative to the Conference which
they themselves consider the SUI
preme body of American Jewry
He also holds them respon-
sible "for failing to provide OPP
portunities for the inclusion of |
younger men and women in the
management of our affairs" :.
The American Jewish Confer
ence, he says, demonstrated that |
while the people have grown, the
leaders have not kept pace i.
They have created a tyranny of |
speechmaking as a substitute for
true greatness and inner humility,
he asserts He calls upon the
delegates to the forthcoming ses-
sion of the Conference not to re-
main mere onlookers AS a
sovereign body the delegates will
have to exercise their prerogative
and utilize to the fullest their
freedom to choose their leader
