The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1948-01-09

1. He opposes the decision of
the Jewish Agency to discontinue
visaless immigration to Palestine
and demands the continuation of
such immigration until the decis-
ion of the United Nations to open
a free port in Palestine for Jewish
immigration is supplemented.
2. He vigorously objects to the
negotiations now being carried on
with the British Government in
London by Prof. Selig Brodetsky
and DR.. Nahum Goldman, mem
bers of the Jewish Agency Exec
utive.
8. He demands that all the var
ious aspects of the present devel-
opments in Palestine be brought
before the United Nations by the
Agency without discriminating
against either the Eastern or the
Western bloc.
4. He disagrees with the pres
ent policy Of the Haganah, the
leadership of which he left some
time ago.
In the earlier statement, DR..
Sneh said he "cOuld not continue
to bear collective responsibility"
for the policy of the Jewish
Agency executive, since he sees
dangers facing the Jewish State
ION the one hand from intrigues to
curb and foil the state, and on the
other hand from a possibility Of
being subdued by Imperialism"
DR.. Sneh specified in his state
ment that he fears dangers from
London and from influential gov
eminent circles in Washington" as
well as from several Mediter-
ranean capitals. Breaking the
decisions of the United Nations
within their first stages of mater
ialization, non-intervention in the
face of the murderous onslaught
on the Yishuv and joint Anglo
American prevention of visaless
immigration to Palestine are the
first signs of a policy to foil the
Jewish State" DR.. Sneh said.
The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1948-01-09

In a statement to the press, DR..
Sneh denied that he had ordered
the approximately $4,000 visaless
Jews in Rumania to sail on the
Blockade runner Pan York and Pan
Crescent despite a veto by the
Jewish Agency. At the same time,
it was reliably learned here today
that the chief motive for DR..
Sneh's resignation was the decision
Of the Agency to accede to the re-
quest of the British Government
and the State Department to dis
continue illegal immigration.
Earlier, DIR. Sneh issued a state
ment saying that his resignation
from the Agency executive was
not due to temporary misunder-
standings or personal disagree
ment, but to the parting Of the
ways" between him and the other
members of the executive on mat
tiers concerning the internal and
external policy of the Jewish
Agency. The following four points
summarize his differences with the
Agency:

Editorial
Mayor Devin Looms as Shoot in

More and more, it is beginning to appear as if
the basic ISSUE of the forthcoming mayolalty is
whether the City Of Seattle is to be IA closed or an
open town.
This conclusion is based upon the fact that both
Mayor William f. Devin and Allan Pomeroy, who
will face the incumbent mayor in the March . IL
nails have focused their campaigns on Police Chef
George Eastman's stern and anti-vice program.
Mayor Devm, seeking fourth term, definitely
has taken the stand that he is IN favor OF retain
ing Eastman and his rcorganizcd police admins
tration Ponrroy, however, has made It quite
clear in several of his speeches that he does not
care for the present police system, and has said
very little. if anything, as to his feeling on wee
conditions here.
1t is true that Pomcroy has received the bless
inc of Bill Fingers votes, aud it is also true that
Pomeroy railcd Mayor Devin by slim margin Of
1000 votes in the last primary.
But it stands to reason, it seems, that Mayor
Devin looms as very probable shoo-n for re-eloc-
ton. at this writing. The support he is getting
from the two local metropolitan newspapers, the
morning Post -Intellgrnccr and the afternoon Sc
attic Times, and tire church groups. should be Il
strong indication pointing toward reelection OF
Mayor Devin.

This goal,' Moore said, is APP

LOS ANGELES, Calf, March
(R a flu ShimpO Dispatch) -
From Honolulu comes the news
that on board the President lin
err General Meigs that is sched-
uled to arrive in San Francisco
on March is 16-year old ia
pan born lad who was granted
U. S. citizenship to return to his
faiher i'm Los Angeles.
The lads Nisei father had return
Ell here before l6-year old Haruo
Yamashiro was born in Okinawa
His mother, probably dead. was re-
ported missing after one of the
many U. S. air raids over the is
land during the war.
The father and son have never
seen each other, but as soon as the
war was over, Kanichi Yamashiro
working through his cousin station
ed in Japan with the Occupation
Troops, was able to contact his sor
and arrange for his permission tc
come here and become a U. S. ci-
tizen.
Kanichi Yamashiro in making
the plea for the return of his ia
pan-born son had to prove his U
S. citizenship, his residency in this
country. and the fact that the lac
was MS son.
The ruling comes under the
1910 ammended provisions of the
Immigration laws which states
that any foreign born Offspring
of q. s. citizen parents who have
at least 10 years residency in
this country after they are To-
years Of age or older may become
citizens by residing five years here
sometime between their 18th and
21st birthday.
However, the application Of tn
riding on each case is reported u
vary With the Nationality Act Il
