Letters to The Star
Jewish Home Held Promised,
But Not Jewish State

To the Editor of The Star:
May I comment on the letter of
August 8 by Miss Elizabeth Gertlin?
She seeks to blame the British gov
ernment for the deeds of violence COM
mitted by the Jewish people in Pales-
tine, but is it not the Jews themselves
who are to blame for the present situ-
alton?
For some years, through an ill-advised
and aggressive policy, including illegal
methods, the Zionists have tried to force
upon the people of Palestine, against
their will, the entry of large numbers
Of European Jews, They have tried to
take away from the Arabs the most fer
tile part OF the country. The Arabs.
the indigenous people of Palestine. Mos
lens and Christians alike, are opposed
to any such schemes and justly defend
their own rights to self-determination.
Palestine, small country, already has
more than its share of the Jewish popu-
latlOn of the world. Therefore no fur
ther demands should be made and no
further acts Of injustice inflicted upon
the Arab people.
IN 1915 the Arabs were promised their
independence and fought with the Allies
in World War l.
In 1917 the Balfour Declaration rec
ommended a Jewish home in Palestine,
but never Jewish state, and it also
contained the very important proviso:
1t being clearly understood that moth
ing shall be done which may prejudice
the civil and religious rights of existing
non-JeWiSh communities in Palestine. 3"
Of equal Importance are the recon-
! mendatlOnS Of the various commissions
which followed, namely: Serious modi-
flcatlon of the extreme Zionist program
IN Palestine of unlimited immigration
| of jews" Jewish immigration is not
to exceed in volume the economic ca
paclty of the country to absorb it." mo
| further land is available for Jewish i'm
migration Arab consent would be nee
eSSary for further immigration"
In 1918 President Wilson said that
the postwar settlement would be based
| upon "the free acceptance of that settle
I
cerned"
The late President Franklin D. Roose-
Velt gave a written undertaking to King
lbn Saud, that I would not do any,
thing in my capacity as head of the
executive in this Government that might
cause harm to the Arabs"
The continued attempt to squeeze the
Jewish refugees into Palestine and force
the Arabs out Of their own homes. an
act Of great injusice to the Arabs, mere
ly makes matters worse and never can
solve the European Jewish problem, and
also easily might lead to just such pro-
grams in the Middle East as have oc-
CURED in Europe
Consideration and just treatment are
due the Arabs, the very rights We de-
mand for ourselves, to settle their own
destiny tMRSJ MARCIA POST.

Mr.. Ickes Replies to Mr.. Cabot

Mr.. Ickes Replies to Mr.. Cabot
To the Editor of The Star:
John S. Cabot complained in COM
munication, published in your issue of
August 7, that you inflicted me upon
Your readers intelligent and unintelli-
gent ahke.' He does not say in which
category he belongs
But he takes me to task because l
"criticize" my own Government for not
repudlating financial obligation TO
King 1bn Saud made in 1943 and 1914,
for the good will of Saudi Arabia ."
My answer to that is that I do not be-
lIeve in paying cash for good will"
He seems to agree that when I re-
ferred to that transaction as a Sub
sidy' I was really using a polite term
For Mr.. Cabot's information, I did
not know until recently that the pay
ment referred to had been made to
King Ibn Saud. If had known that
financial obligation" was being en-
tered into, I would have protested that
at least We should have gotten some
thing for the money that we were prom
AS4AiS w PoJ Oit. IOuUl "llEIilPI LilS
people generally agree with what seems
to be Mr.. Cabot's complacent attitude
about our paying what amounts to trib-
ute to another nation.
AS to the pipe line, T am not dis
poed to criticize Mr.. Cabot because
it was difficult for any one sitting on
! the sldelineS to understand what that
was about, whether he were "intelli-
gent" or ''unintelligent" In boxing par
lance, that was feint with the left and
the result hoped for was fully achieved
without our ever having to build q pipe
line. In any event the cost would not
have been ours as that of the subsidy
to King Ibn Saud has been. We would
have advanced the money If We had
made up our minds to go through with
the deal and it would have been repaid
with interest by the Arabian American
Oil Co. Moreover, it would have
given much needed outlet for Saudi
Arabian oil under concession to the
company named to the Eastern Medi-
terranean which would have been great
ly to the benefit of our country.
If there are to be any handouts to
Saudi Arabia, we ought to bear in mind
that that country has lot to say
about the future of Palestine, in which
so many of our people properly are
interested.
Nor have 1 ever cast any slurs upon
the patriotism or the business acumen
Of the Standard Oil Co. of California or
the Texas Co, as Mr. Cabot un-
intelligently alleges. I have felt that
the Standard Oil Co. has given a dirty
deal to Ralph K. Davies, who was dep
uty petroleum administrator for war.
thereby distinguishing itself from all of
the other oil companies of the United
States, so far as their attitude toward
employees drafted by us to do the war
job was concerned.

Contract Farley Slated
In Radio Union Dispute
BY the Associotsd Press

or tNS SseOStStSo Etess
NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-George
Heller, national executive secre-
tary of the American Federation OF
Radio Artists (AFL), said today
his organization, armed with strike
vote approval from four locals,
would meet next week with net
work representatives in an attempt
to settle contract renewal dispute.
Mr.. Heller referred to strike votes
taken last night by locals here
and in Chicago and San Francisco.
The Los Angeles unit took such
action Thursday night.
Negotiations which began several
weeks ago were broken OH, Mr..
Heller said, on October 20 when
the networks refused to agree to
a union proposal that they deny
their programs to afilliated stations
which refused to negotiate with
the federation.
The networks contended that
such action on their part might
constitute a secondary boycott or
place them in the position of aiding
the federation in its organization
efforts in outlying stations.
Other ARA demands were for
IS per cent wage increase and
number of changes in the con-
tract to replace the one between
AFRA and the National Broadcast
ing Co., the Mutual Broadcasting
System, the Columbia Broadcasting
System and the American Broad
casting Co., which expired Oc-
tober 81.

John @. 5Iye Retiring
From Secret Service;
Guarded ! Presidents

John Queen Slye, 10, friend and
protector of seven Presidents, will
retire November 80 from the Secret
Service after "a years.
A native of Washington. he lives
at $500 Thirty ninth street NV. He
has always called Washington his
home despite frequent official trips
to Europe, Alaska, South America
and over all the United States. He
likes to remind friends that his
|great-great grandfather. Benjamin
More, was editor of the Washington
Gazette, $50 years ago.
eff you write anything about my
retirement" he said last night,
don't use the personal pronoun in
quoting me. There's too much T.
in everything these days"
Won't Write q Book.
AS a veteran Secret Service agent
he seldom has been written up and
he does not intend to start now by
writing an autobiography, much
less book of inside stuff" on the
White House.
MIR. Slye nevertheless recalled
numerous Secret Service activities
which included not only the guard
ing of Presidents but work in track
ing down counterfeiters. One OF his
most difficult but interesting as
sienments, he said, was as special
investigator for former Justice
Ov'-. Roberts when he was prose-
CUT the Teapot Dome inquiry.
He i tined the Secret Service in
1912 and for many years spent most
of his time, day and night, In the
White House. He is still assigned
there. He accompanied President
Wilson to Europe in 1918, was in
San Francisco with President Hard
ing when Mr.. Harding died there,
and he journeyed to South America
with President Hoover. He travelled
with the other Presidents since 1872
and often made advance arrange.
ments for their trips.
"AH OF Them Were Nice"
"It's hard to say anything about
who was the favorite President" he
remarked. "All of them were nice,
deep down inside"
He added that he had better op-
portunity to know President Wilson
and found him far different from
the reserved man sometimes de-
scribed by others.
About Is years ago Mr.. Slye in
vestigated the method then used to
destroy currency which the Govern
ment Withdrew from circulation. He
found that the cutting apparatus
sometimes allowed whole bills to
drop out. He devised more effec-
tive system which is still in use.

Red Cross Needs Funds

If the Red Cross campaign is to
close on March % with the commun-
ity's quota subscribed, three-fourths of
the $4,000 requested will have to be
raised in four days. Up to Saturday
night subscriptions amounted only to
$10,247.45.
Wilmington has always stood four
square for the Red Cross. Throughout
the fighting war successive campaigns
for funds were invariably well over
subscribed. The city cannot afford to
lay down now, for the Red Cross still
has a great job to do, not only in home
service for returned veterans, but for
occupation forces in Europe and Asia.
Furthermore, hospitalized veterans in
this country are in need Of the COM
forts rendered by the organization.
The local quota is not great. More
than double the total has been passed
in previous drives. The let-down which
everybody felt when the Japanese sur
rendered and the fighting ceased should
not extend to the Red Cross. If there
were any lack of money there might
be some excuse for withholding or re-
ducing individual gifts. But the con-
trary is the fact. The banks are liter
ally bulging with cash. The $4,000
still needed could be given without
sacrifice.
May March % see the quota-and
a surplus-in hand.
