Chairman M. w. Bullock
Announces Erection of Bahai
Shrine at Mt. Carmel

According to an announcement
by Matthew w. Bullock, chairman
of the Boston Baha'i Assembly, q
shrine to the martyred herald
and forerunner of the Baha'i
World Faith will be constructed
on Mt. Carmel, overlooking the
eastern shore of the Mediterran-
can sea at, the bay of Haifa and
Aka. Concerning the announce
ment, the National Baha'i Assem-
bly, states that despite the present
hostilities dividing races and re-
ligions in the Holy Land, plans
for the erection of this shrine are
being carried forward without
interruption.
Several contracts for carved
marble columns and other stone
work have been placed in Italy
during recent weeks, the Ma
tional Assembly reports, ION be-
half of Shoghi Effendi of Haifa,
the Baha'i world leader. Designed
by Sutherland Maxwell, we'll
known Canadian architect, the
work now in hand will construct a
facade for the mausoleum raised
by Abdu'l-Baha many years ago
over the remains of the Bah, ex-
ecuted at Tabriz, Persia, July 8,
1850. The sepulchre when finished
twill be surmounted by a golden
dome"
More than one hundred years
ago., Mr.. Bullock explains, "the
great historic figure known as
the Bah arose in Persia to pro-
claim the imminence of new re-
ligious dispensation. He called to
unity and fellowship the sects of
Islam, Judaism, Christianity and
other revealed faiths, and declared
that the kings and governments
Of East and West must, to prevent
anarchy and war, adopt and up
hold policies rooted in moral
truth.
"On this call to unity and the
Bab's maryrdom, which aroused
the Persian people to intense ex-
citement, the present Baha'i Faith
was established by Baha'u'llah,
and today his followers include
members of both the Jewish and
Islamic religions in Palestine,
The shrine of the Bah on Mt.
Carmel, Mr.. Bullock points out,
represents new hope for peace
which begins with the reconcilia-
ton of faiths.

A Displaced Persons Bill, passed
by the Congress and signed by
the President, would allow some
100000 European displaced per-
sons to seek a home in the United
States. The objection to this
legislation, quite apart from pro-
visions which may make it un-
workable, is its discriminatory
character. 1t patiently reflects a
bias against displaced persons
who are Cathcncs and Jews-a
strange and contradictory factor,
indeed, when It is recalled that
the largest portion of displaced
persons are Catholics and that
those who suffered most among
them are Jews.
The Bill closes our doors to
all displaced persons who arrived
in European camps after Decem-
Der %, 1945. This definitely and
categorically makes entrance into
the United States impossible for
any of the $1,000 Jews Z and
cthers-who fled from religious
persecution and terror in Soviet
dominated lands after December
%, 1945.
The Bill provides that at least
90 per cent of the displaced per-
sons admitted to the United
States must have been farmers.
Moreover. they must plan to re-
main farmers after coming to
America. Surely the friends of
this discriminatory D. P. Bill
knew that this provision excludes
Jews since most Of them in D. P.
camps are not farmers-and
could not be since the conditions
lnder which they had to live in
Europe closed farming to them.
1t is estimated that, under this
Bill, only 5000 Jews could be adj
nlitted to the United States over
q two-year period. And yet, in
the D. P. camps of Europe there
are at least $4,000 uprooted,
homeless Jews who have been
savagely prosecuted.
The Bill stipulates that at least
40 per cent Of the displaced per
sons admitted to the United
States must BE people whose
place of origin or country of
nationality has been de facto an
nexed by a foreign power" In
effect, this means people from
Lithuania, Latyia, Estonia, and
Poland east of tine Kurzon line
countries annexed by the Soviet
Union. The D. rs of these coun-
tries are largely non-C Catholic and
aon-Jew.sh.

A bitter and cynical feature
of the Bill is its demand that
at least so per cent Of the people
admitted to America under Ger
man and Austrian immigration
quotas be persons of German
ethnic origin who were born in
Poland, Cechoslovakia, Hungary,
Romania, Holland, and Yugo-
slavia, They are people of Ger
man origin who, having lived in
countries other than Germany
ard Austria, are, like the 5udeten
Germans, suspected of having
heen Hitler's quislings in those
countries and not friends of de-
mocraey at all. Under the D. P.
Bill passed by the Congress, H.
600 OF them could be admitted
20 The United States.
There is kind of racial and
religious prejudice-dangerous to
American democracy-wbich was
voiced in Congress during debate
on displaced persons legislation.
One Congressman charged that
inhabitants of D. P. camps are
the scum Of European aggre-
cation of loafers." Another said
that many D. P,'s are ''bums,
criminals, subversives, revolu-
tionistS, crackpcts and human
wreckage." He maintained that
if the D. P.'s were no asset to
their hcme countries, they would
be no asset to Us. I'VE need them
less than any other nation on
earth. There are 10 million good
Germans more displaced, more
distressed and more in need than
the D. P's, he thought.
The voice Of sound American
ism, speaking against the Bill,
was also heard in the Congress.
Republicans ana Democrats join
cd in declaring that this legisla-
ton wrote principles Of narrow
ress, intolerance, and bigotry
into law"
Let this D. P. Bill, with its I'M
American discriminatory pro-
visions, stand as a rebuke to
those who say that there is no
danger of Fascism in the United
States. Let it be remembered that
Fascism feeds on racial and reli-
gious prejudice - and it also
feeds on class prejudice. Let it
be recalled that the opponents
Of racial and religious prejudice
Ion which FaScism feeds-were
strong enough in the Congress
of the United States to pass a
discriminatory Displaced Persons
Bill

HUMAN DIGNITY

The writer OF YOUR BROTH

largely mirror what he has heard

he could not see his black skin,
his black course hair as anything
but handicap, perhaps a curse,
in spite of being a handsome

MAJOR LEAGUE players all
know about Satchel. He struck
out many stars and won the
greatest praise of Dizzy Dean,
Joe DiMaggio, and numerous
major league scouts over the past
20 years. Baseball has known
fast-ball pitchers like Walter
johnson, Dir Dean, Bob Feller.
But when Old Satch was at his
peak his fast ball was tremen-
dous. The batter just never got
the bat off his shoulder, never
saw the ball.

HAVING SEEN both major
league and colored players who
were barred, there is sound
medium of comparison. 1 have
seen colored players who. should
have been in the majors and who
played better ball than many a
Red Sox and other Big League
ball players. Jackman at his peak,
was better than any Red Sox
hurler on the staff today.
