Council For Judaism
 Opposes British Move
White Paper on Palestine Denounced; Jewish Immi-
 grafton Checked, Purchase of Land Restricted

ton is based on "this fundamental fact: that proposals which exclude Jews, as Jews, from right of entry and restrict Jews, as Jews, from the acquisition of land, do violence to the fundamental concept of democratic equality and thus to the very purpose and ideals to which the United Nations are pledged.
 The American Council for Juda- ism is dedicated to the view that Jews, religious community, shall have, as Of right and not on suffer- ance, full equality all over the world. AS stated in our Declara- ton of Principles For our fellow Jew we ask only this: equality of rights and obligations with their fellow nationals This means equal ity in the countries in which we live and choose to remain; equality to return to those lands from which Jews have been forcibly driven; equality to migrate wherever there is an opportunity for migration.
 We ask for no special privileges for Jews anywhere in the world. We will resist to the utmost the imposition of any disabilities on Jews anywhere in the world. There is no compromise on this basic de- mand.
 We stand" the statement says further, lat 6 crossroads of deci- sion, at @ time of indescribable tragedy for our co-religionists in Axis Europe. Are we to be occu- pied with the creation of Jewish National StateP Or are we to be concerned with human lives, the lives of harassed and driven Jews?
 We believe 1t crucial wrong to confuse the two. One is a conten- ton for political theology. The other is a battle for the elementary rights of men"
 Officers of the American Council for Judaism are president, Leasing J. Rosenwald; vice presidents, Fred F. Florence, Ralph w. Mack, Rabbi Louis Binstock, Rabbi Louis Vol sey, Rabbi Irving F. Reichert; treasurer, D. Hays Solis-Cohen and executive director, Rabbi Elmer Berger.
 Local Meeting
 Problems confronting Zionists in their efforts to foster international guarantees that will assure them of the establishment of Jewish commonwealth in Palestine, were discussed last night at a symposium marking the fourth monthly meeting of the local Zionist organization at Temple Israel. Participating were Rabbi David Polish, Rabbi William Greenfield and Charles Rosengarten.

Philadelphia Jan. ll--A declar- ation by the American Council for Judaism opposing the provisions of the British White Paper on Pales- tine that stop immigration of Jews and restrict their purchase of land was made public today by Lessing J. Rosenwald, president of the coun- cil reafilrmed its opposition to Zion ist nationalism and issued a call to American Jews to organize in strength, out of deep concern for oppressed Jews everywhere, behind a non-nationalistic program to deal with the total Jewish problem.
 Beyond the abrogation of the White Paper" the statement de- clares, flies the need for a basic solution. That solution, we believe, can come only when there Is world wide recognition of the rights of the Jews to full equality. It can come in Palestine only when the preten- tionS to Jewish Statehood are abandoned and we seek instead free dom of migration opportunity based on incontestabie rights and not on special privilege. The declaration of our Statement of Principles is beyond challenge from any quarter We look forward to the ultimate es- tablishment of a democratic auton- omous government in Palestine wherein Jews, Moslems and Chris tianS shall be justly represented every man enjoying equal rights and sharing equal responsibilities a democratic government in which our fellow Jews shall be free Pal estineans whose religion is Judaism even as we are Americans whose re- hgion is Judaism"
 In regard to the discriminatory provisions of the White Paper, the statement declares We of the American Council for Judaism re- cord our unqualified opposition to those provisions. In behalf of the substantial section of American Jews whose views on Jewish problems coincide with ours, we petition our government to use its best offices to prevail upon the British govern ment not to proceed with so preju- dicial and unjust policy" Opposi-

STATES PREPARING
 FOR ANNUAL RUSH
State Motor Vehicle De- partment Experts Regis
 tratiOn of 425,OOO Cars

About 425, 900 motor vehicle reg istrations will be renewed by the State Department of Motor Vehicles during next two months, according to Commissioner John T. Mccarthy, who bases his estimate on the de- partment experiences of the past quarter century and the vital cur rent need for automotive trans portation.
 "The department is now ready to renew 1943 registrations" states Commissioner Mccarthy. We be- lieve practically all car owners will renew registrations. Registrations last year fell of slightly as com pared with l942 and we look for the same satisfactory experience this year.
 That means our eleven offices, which are located in Hartford, Wa terbury, Bridgeport, New Hacen, Danbury, New London. Norwalk, Norwich, Stamford. Willimantic and Torrington, will be taxed to cap acity to service promptly and effi- ciently the heavy volume of business recorded during the closing weeks of February.
 For personal convenience, as well as consideration for the department, which is laboring this year under severe handicaps in reduced per- sonnel, we urge early renewals of motor vehicle registrations by mall. Such orders will be filled promptly as received. Application for renaw- al will be found on 1943 registra- ton certificate. Torn of, signed by applicant and mailed with fee as printed on the certificate is all there is to a mail renewal.
 We hope many. who in past years renewed in person, will take advantage of the mails this year.
