FINALLY, Hecht takes advant
age Of the general lack of knowl-
edge in America concerning the
standing of the terrorist groups
within the Yishuv by portraying
the Irgun and the Stern gang as
fighting together with the Haga-
nah against British Imperialism.
The essential falseness of this
claim can best be shown by cit
ing charges leveled against
Hecht's play and sponsoring or
ganizatiOn by two separate and
dissimilar sources i'm Palestine.
One is DIR. Judah L. Magnes,
president of the Hebrew Uni.
versity of Jerusalem. The other
is Haganah, the Jewish defense
organization of Palestine.
In an open letter TO Mrs. Frank.
lin D. Roosevelt, whose name was
being used by the American
League for a Free Palstine in or

Now that we have examined
some of the basic philosophy of
the League as expressed thru
Hecht's play we must complete
this unpleasant picture by
showing the development of
this organization, its cOnnec-
tons, and activities.
Organized in 1889 as the Amer

called 'The American Friends Of

S American a Palestine?

by S. PETERS

The clearest expression of Its
basic philosophy was contained
in the propaganda pageant "A
Flag is Born" sponsored by this
group and written by its fore
most ideologist, Ben Hecht.
Playing upon the tragic plight
Of European Jews to the hiit,
Hecht continually drives at his
main point. The Jews are "fOr.
ever without friends" As the
principal character states it
"The name of my enemy is the
WORLD" Therefore the Jews
must speak with cannon
against the "WOrld."
Thus are we presented with a
program for Jewish survival! In
stead of calling for unity of the
Jews with all democratic peoples
against the reactionary social
forces that breed and thrive on
anti-Semitism, Hecht would cut
the Jews away from their friends
and leave them isolated to face
their enemy" the world. .
y a. "
THIS BALDERDASH of course
is not militancy. 1t is the phil
osophy of cynicism and despair so
characteristic of Hecht. Since en-
nifty toward the Jews is "univer-
sal" and eternal" Hecht doesn't
find it necessary to mention
Fascism or Nazism but launches
a vicious attack against the So
Wet Union.
"There are no Jews" states
the Soviet diplomat in the play.
'Russia does not tolerate either
anti-Semitism or Semitism."
Was bigger or more calculat-
ed lie ever told? Every intelligent
Jew understands that the Soviet
Union has not only eliminated
ahti-Semitism but has also Great
ed conditions under which Jew
ish life and culture flourish as
nowhere else in the world.

point on there is a dramatic in
