AS A MATTER OF FACT

In his annual report released this week
Will Hays of the Motion Picture Pro-
ducers and Distributors of America states
that this year marks the fiftieth ami
versary of the first public showing of the
motion picture. He considers the 1ntlu-
ence of pictures one of the greatest OF
modern day inventions. Certainly motion
pictures are the most largely attended OF
any form of entertainment, whether good,

China or Russia was the ruler OF Outer
Mongolia UNTIL JAPAN BEGAN TO
INVADE INDIA.
Then, as if by a tacit agreement with
Tokyo. Moscow set up claims of invasion"
by China into her puppet state OF Outer
Mongolia, about which her rights to COM
plete sovereignty are very hazy.
Russia's sudden charge of Chinese "ag
gression' is as absurd as we're Russia's
claims of Finiand's aggression" on her in
193e-a charge that set the whoe-worid
laughing
But it is not with Outer Mongolia that
Russia is concerned.
Events are proceeding swiftly in the
direction of UNITED ASIA, DOMI-
MATED BY JAPAN AND RUSSIA AND
ANTAGONISTIC TO AMERICA AND
EUROPE.
THE divisions among the Occidental
i races make it easy for the Oriental
races to unite and perhaps to secure the
world domination they have so often
sought
There. is no man with profounder
knowledge Of the Oriental mind than the
famous Chinese scholar and litterateur,
Dr. Lin-Yutang.
In his most recent book, Between

these prophetic words

WE GIVE the following factual
w excerpt from Mr. Lowdermilk's
book.
It's argument for Jewish return
to Palestine is more convincing than
any plea, however eloquent, that
could be presented by this paper.
Mr.. Lowdermilk says:
I'm the course of $4,000 miles of
automobile troUel through the Arab
lands Uas impressed by the relative
progress made by the Palestinian
Arabs as compared With the Arabs
in neighboring countries. The British
royal commission, Uhich Uisited
Palestine in the tUinter of 1869
and conducted extensive hearings on
the disturbances and possible rem
edies for them, attributed this prog
reSs TO JetUiSh activities.
I'm the commissions final report
The impact of JeDish immigration on
the Arab economy of Palestine is
formulated in the following manner:
"1-The large import of JerOish
capital into Palestine has had a gen
eral fructifying effect on the economic
life Of the country.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1944-04-19

TITS lucomprehenslble 70 an lntelll
i gent mind how England can, con
tinue TO bar the Jews out of Palestine
when the evidence is overwhelming
that the Jews are the only ones who
have moiernized tlais desert country.
The Chamberlain White Paper of
1889. which has closed the gates of
the Jewish homeland in that races
direst extremity is nothing less than
an act of SABOTAGE AGAINST
PROGRESS.
Walter Clay Lowdermilk Of North
Carolina, the foremost advocate in
America Of soil conservation, has
written and Harper & Brothers have
Just published a memorable book,
Palestine. Land of Promise. "
Mr.. Lowdermilk a non Jew by
the way presents overwhelming evi-
dence on every page of his book why
the Jews should be allowed TO con
tinue their great work of industrial
development and cultlvating the soil
Of Palestine work that will now
to a great degree cease because Of the
senseless fear of Britain of the Arab,
who has never done anything of any
consequence by his initiative on his
own terrain.
Mr.. Lowdermilk convicts Britain
of downright stupidity out of it's own
mouth.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1944-04-19


"2-The expansion OF Arab in
dustry and citricuIture has been
largely financed by the capital thus
obtained.
"3-OLUing to JeWish deUelop-
paenL and enterprise the employment
of Arab labor has increased in urban
areas, particularly in the ports.
"4-The reclamation and anti
malaria york undertaken in JeUish
uiIlages haze benefited all Arabs in
the neighborhood.
"5-Institutions, founded Oith
JetUish funds primarily TO SerUe the
national home, haze also SerUed the
Arab population.
"6-The general beneficent effect
OF JeUish immigration on Arab Wel-
fare is illustrated by the fact that the
increase in the Arab population is
most marked in urban areas affected
by JetUish Development"
THAT is the testimony of the Brit
i ish royal commission itself and
of Mr.. Lowdermilk who has no per-
sonal racial interest in Palestine.
Mr.. Lowdermilk then draws this
conclusion from his years of study
and observation.
"The fact that there is no basic
economic antagonism betuOeen JeWs
and Arabs and that JeDish activities
haze actually benefited the less pro-
gressiUe Arabs gives us hope for the
future"
Now this "hope for the future"
has turned to despair on the part OF
the Jews in Europe.
That Palestine is the ancient as
we'll as the modern beloved homeland
of the Jews and is rightly theirs is
further evidenced by H. L. Mencken,
also non Jew, in his Notes of
Voyage" wherein he says in the
chapter on Palestine
an Dauid's time these hills pere
green Uith forests and up their slopes,
on terrace aboUe terrace, ran oii0e
groves and vineyards, but that tDas
before the Arab began breathing his
suFocating breath upon the land"
There is, then, neither sense,
Judgment nor common humanity IN
England pasting the politically con-
ceived Chamberlain White Paper on
the doors of Palestine.
Those doors were closed on
April l.
Why is the Jew being kept out of
his own ancient and modern home2
Open the doors of Palestine!

The Pacific Menace

TT is becoming clearer every day that
the great danger which threatens the
prestige of the United States is from the
Pacific. not from Europe.
That menace today is from Russia and
Japan. who are allied-but for what pur-
poses no one surely knows.
The RECOMMENDATION OF American
attention on the European war, which is
primarily Englands and Russia's war, and
the neglect Of the Japanese war, which is
peculiarly AMERICAS WAR, is likely TO
bring reverses OF serious character.
These reverses will probably be sus-
tanned by England and possibly by Amer
ica, too. but NOT BY RUSSIA.
England might possibly lose India her
richest possession.
The Japanese are even now converging
on Imphal, whieh'tf1ey have. isolated except
by air.
The sympathy Of the Indian people is
not with England
The Inhabitants Of India will in all
probability make =eHaft- 10 free them
selves from the English yoke

with Russia

.tfffat is behind this tfHn-
tastic draft foolishness is being
explained by all the interested
government bureaus in their
>own conflicting ways.
You can get nearly any story
you want that IS, any except
the right one.
Bureaucratic muddling is the
commonest explanation in Con-
greSs, but even this falls short
of accounting fully for the
depths of public confusion in
which men are called. quit their

Then there is a loud official
whisper dealing with the grand
assault on Europe and reserves
in the Pacific and Atlantic area.
Frankly il does not explain

worth repeating even if IL could
pass the censor, and il would
not.
THOSE most intimate with the
n inner situation absolve draft
director Hershey of ma or re-
SponSlbillty for the orders he
has been issuing and attribute
the mess TO a struggle between
manpowcr Paul McNutt and the
armed services.

McNutt takes the position
that such draft of labor

and most of the politicians, as
WELLS not needed. or al least
no need has been shown for it.
The draft policies of the army
and navy frequently appear TO
be adopted, with thought of
not discouraging need for il.
The plain evidence indicates
clearly McNutt is right. The
Cleveland conomiSt Col.
Leonard Ayres, who set UP the
war department economic bu-
reau at the outset of the war,
says in his current Cleveland
Trust Co. bulletin:
This latest manpower crisis
is largely verbal, and almost
surely less serious than IL Is
claimed to he"
He says the peak of our war
production probably was passed
last October. and industrial
manpower requirements have
declined since then, He is such
an impartial recognized au-
thority that his evidence seems
almost TO close the argument
