BY Mrs. IsadOre MOscOvItz
AS this goes to press the battle
for Palestine is being placed be-
fore the United Nations Assem-
bly,. i. 1T is difficult to think or
write of anything else at THIS
moment. The case of our people
rests before the nations of the
world. 1t is an awe inspiring
occasion. yet with it comes a
foreboding that decision solv-
ing the complicated problem will
never be reached.
In some manner I have been
trying to discern what my fellow
citizen feels about the matter of
Zionist aspirations in Palestine
and the conduct Of the British in
discouraging the Jewish goal of
establishing a homeland there. In
the South international events
are very rarely topic for dis
cussion. Politics in conversation
seems to be a matter of poor
taste among ladies of genteel up
bringing. Among men one dis
Germs evidence of a sense of fair
ness. Mine was not scientific
ally conducted poll. merely an
attempt to discover what my
neighbor thinks of me as Jew
and Zionist. Should the Amer
lean public be properly educated
to the Jewish case there would be |
a favorable reaction with the
realization that this is our fight |
to the finish and if Palestine is |
to be ours it will be established
through the letting of Jewish |
blood rather than on the sense of |
justice prevailing in the world to-
day..

word of one of them.
I asked the question after watch

dure one of their radio programs
and, what is even worse, have had
to sit through a lecture by that
modest, shrinking violet of the tight
little isle, Randolph Churchill.
But I can't hold grudge against
the British.
Tries to, But Can't.
I try to, but 7 can't. Every time
T get myself worked up against the
British, remember what they have
been through since 1889 and what
they are going through right now
I don't mean the lords and the
ladies and the dukes and the duch-
esses and the peers and the Pierce
Arrows, and all the others who have
extensive lawns and credit to match.
No, I mean from frst-hand expert
ence that they didn't take too much
of licking during the time that the
swastika spread its shadow. They
knew where the black markets were,
and had the cash and influence to
work them. They knew where the
chops could be had, the sweaters
bought, the eggs purchased and the
gasoline obtained.
But the little Briton - what a
beating he has taken. Not for one
year, not for two, but for eight
years, and the end of the misery
isn't in sight yet. He has had so
little that it is a wonder he has
survived.
He has had so little food, so little
clothing, so little heat, so little hap
piness and so little hope. was last
in England in early 1943, and the
worst of the blitz was over, but the
Britons still were having to hang by
their fingertips. An English SPAR
row pie was luxury. Eggs we're
handled as if they were diamonds.
To drop a scrap of paper or bit of
string on the street was to draw a
reprimand for waste. 1t didn't seem
so tough then, because there was
the mad eXhilaration of war, and
the lift that comes with fighting
for existence, but that is all over
now.
Still Have Nothing.
But still the British have nothing.
Everything they make is sent
abroad. The empires export busi-
ness must still carry on. There is no
coal, and the towns are blacked out
just as they were during the war.
All about them the British see the
other countries enjoying some fruits
of peace and victory. Even the van-
quished are better off than they.
Tourists are travelling for pleasure.
The Queen Elizabeth makes her
run from Southampton loaded with
wines and foods, and there are deck
games in the sun for the merry.
But the little Briton is just where
he was eight years ago. His house
is cold. His children are hungry.
He lives amidst shabbiness.
Who is to blame? I don't know.
But this I do know. One can't
get too mad at the British people.
For every Briton who reaped glory,
honors and world acclaim during
World War II there are hundreds
of thousands of Britons who gained
only misery and suffering and who,
today, still can see no sun in the
sky.

Crowds at "Inquisition."
The committee sessions for the
past four weeks have been held in
a roora not big enough for all the
people who desire to witness the
inouisition. The first arrivals seize
the available seats or take up stand
ing positions at the back of the
room and in the narrow middle
aisle. There are usually more women
than men, and the women wear
hats, Six of the little undertaken
chairs are reserved for the nominees
Or defendants-usually in the
front row, from which by twisting
their neckS and leaning forward
they can see and hear the witnesses.
One day this week, however, the
accused men apparently were for
gotten until the last minute and
were required to sit in the back row
where they were able to see little
except the women's hats.
There Is no law requiring these
men whose fitness is being examined,
to be present at their own trial.
but they naturally regard it as the
courteous thing to do. 1t might Gre
ate a bad impression if they re-
mained away. So each morning
and afternoon they file in and take
their Seats-little seats that become
awfully uncomfortable long before
the day is done There they sit and
listen, Messrs. Lilienthal, William
w. Waymack, Sumner T. Pike, Lewis
L. Strauss and Robert Bacher, COM
missioners-d designate, and Carroll
Wilson, general Manager designate.
With their elbows digging into one
another's ribs, spectators breaths
hot on the back of their necks, spec
tators' feet stumbling over their
own, they sit trying to look as little
like criminals as possible.
IVA Diversion.
They try to follow Senator Nc
Kellar's philosophy concerning the
atomic bomb-or bum as he some
times calls it-or the wandering and
irrelevant reports of investigators
concerning one or two former minor
employees of iva, suspected of hav-
ing communistic leanings. Weeks
have beer wasted in Senator Nc
Kellars effort to pin the Soviet
hammer and sickle on one such en-
ploye. Whether Mr.. Lilienthal, as
head of the IVA, large and busy
enterprise, ever heard of the lad or
his alleged leaningS isn't mentioned.
The commissioners sit and wonder,
no doubt, what it has to do with the
case.
Without question, they must Won

BILL VETO
LOOMS POSSIBLE
Analysis OF House, Senate
Measures Indicate Tru-
man May Act

! WASHINGTON, April 20-lPl-An
analysis Of the House and Serate
labor legislation today against the
background Of President Truman's
public statements on the subject
points to a veto.
The bill passed by the House and
the one on which the Senate starts
debate this week contain some
features MI. Truman has recon-
mended. But these are outnumber-
ed by provisions against which the
president already is on record.
When the president vetoed the
case bill last June II, he objected
specifically to:
/. The provision relieving en-
ployers Of any legal compulsion &c
bargain with supervisors. Mr.. Tru.
man said this might increase la.
Dor strife" The provision is in
both pending bills.
2. Making unions subject to anti
trust laws (noW in House biLD.
8. Prohibiting welfare funds con-
trolled by unions (the House bill
goes even further than the case
DILL in this respect.
4. Setting up a new Cancellation
service independent Of the secre-
tary Of labor (both bills would dc
this).
As for provisions which Mr. Tru-
man recommended in his message
10 the new congress on January 6,
the pending bills appear to give him
what he asked only in part.
The president in his message
first warned against punitive
and "vindictive" laws. Labor lead
ers say the pending bills meet that
description but the sponsors deny
it.
Truman Wish
The president asked for legisla-
ton to prohibit jurisdictional
strikes-that is, strikes growing
out of squabbles between unions
and certain kinds Of secondary
boycotts. A secondary boycott is
