The Fatality
.0fCompromise
BY Ruth Taylor


times we are too nice for our
own good. We are SO imbued
with the idea of fair play, and
consideration for the other fell
low. that we too often-espe-
cially when it does not effect
directly our own interests
bend over backwards in being
lenient toward shortcomings. If
not actual wrong doing.
A current illustration of that
is the way we spring to the de-
fense of criminals = with senti-
mental protests in their behalf.
Or our condoning the actions OF
those who join subversive
groups. We say-"They didn't
know" Well, if they didn't
have any more sense than to
Join an organization without in
vestigating, then they better see
a doctor! We don't join organi-
cations we don't know all about!
But if we want to see the real
fatality in compromising with
evil-let's look at the record OF
the past thirty years.
Had Kerensky been backed by
the democracies of the world
when he attempted to establish
a genuine democracy in Russia
we would not have to face the
menace of Communism today.
Had we not compromised with
japan over the invasion of Man
churia, China would not have
been laid waste, and the forest
fire of war might have been
averted in the Far East.
Had we not compromised
with Hitler when he started to
rearm and when he began his
prosecutions in Germany, and
had we not compromised with
Mussolini over Ethiopia, there
would not have been a World
War ii - at least not then.
And what might be said re-
garding compromise in the cases
of Finland, Austria, Czecho-
Slovakia, Poland, d e n m r k
Norway, The Netherlands, Bel
gium, Yugo-Slavia, France? No
that we were altogether guilty
in these cases-but were we al
together guiltless?
"The Soviet is the Great Elk
pertinent; Japan needs to ex
pand;" "Hitler is resurrectine
Germany; "After all, the ETH
opians are savage people" i
was said i'm defense of our ac
tions.
There is scarcely a crisi!
through which the world ha!
passed in recent years but wha
one or more of the Democracie!
might have saved the situation
Is it any wonder that the Com
munists have developed con

charged us with cowardice, will
going soft, with lack of heroi'
spirit.
IL we are to help save wha
remains of civilization, there
must be no compromise will

has been proven in Korea. Let'
be fair to all-but let's also b,
fair to ourselves-to cur stand
ards and our beliefs as Democ
racy: Let's have done for al
time with compromise!

JERUSALEM, (JTA) = Inc
policy of the Transjordan govern
ment is to try to reach peace with
Israel, not to reopen hostilities, "
Muhamed ell Amari Bey, Trans
Jordan member of the mixed Is
ael-Transjordan armistice COM
mission, declared this week.
His statement was made after
the Israel delegation laid before
the body complaint concerning
the murder of two Jewish settlers
and the wounding of a third by
Arab bandits who escaped into
Transjordan-held territory this
weekend.
After insisting that his state
ment be entered in the record,
Amari- Bey said that his govern
ment and the Arab Legion re-
gretted the attack and would at
tempt to avoid repetition of such
incidents. He pledged an investiga-
ton and punishment of the Grim
inals if they are caught.

my brother in America, my fam
lily and l may have starved.
AT THAT time / also lived
through a period of pogroms.
We had two factions to contend
with all the time. The Arabs
did not want us to take their
jobs away and the Jewish mer-
chants wanted to employ Arabs
they could obtain their labor
much cheaper. Several times my
life was in danger, for the Arab
laborers in the port of Haifa
outnumbered us 100 to /. After
years of terror, hunger, fear
and fighting with the Arabs, we
slowly gained possession of the
jobs in the port.
Jews were now working more
in number than at any other
time since my arrival to Israel.
After years of struggle the diff
ficulties were overcome and my
living conditions and those of
my fellow Jews were bettered.
l am now proud to say that
instead of the small port of rs
years ago, we have large port
many miles long and the work
is now all done by a 100 per
cent employment of Jews. The
port of Haifa employs ap-
proximately $500 Jews.

Raphael Brandes, president of
the Jewish Community Council OF
Tucson, explained at the Metro
dinner: "The small givers want
the satisfaction of giving an addi-
tional five to 25 dollars to make
up the gifts that have been re-
iected from the big boys
Extra Pledges Made
By way of immediate response,
many persons at the Metro dinner
pledged additional amounts rang
ing from $40 to 500 on the spot.
The board of directors of Phoe-
nix Jewish Community Council
has voted authority to the Cam
paign Cabinet to reject pledges OF
big givers which are considered
mot only inadequate but actually
improper" Others will be re
worked"
"This action" said Executive
Director Hirsh Kaplan, may slow
the campaign down considerably
in terms of the time element. But
it is the considered judgment of
every member of the Cabinet that
the campaign will be helped and
the community will ascend to new
heights of dignity and self-respect
in this manner"

"Some of us have been work
ing very hard in these campaigns.
We accept campaign goals in good
faith. Some of the very people
who have helped to set these goals
have been foremost in making
contributions that are improper,
inadequate and in certain cases
actually destructive.
"This practice is killing this
Jewish community. 1t is killing
initiative and the willingness to
work on the part of all of US. II
we are to continue as a Jewish
community and to take our right
full place among all the Jewish
communities, we must once and
for all take a stand on this matter.
We cannot continue to accept
these piddling contributions from

self-respect."

EDITORS NOTE: This is
the story of an Israel pioneer,
Abraham Wilchinsky, who set
tied in Palestine a quarter
century ago and survived the
rigors of the early days to see
his adopted home become at
last the Jewish national state.
Wilchinsky is visiting his broth

seen for 46 years..

AS Told To
SYlVi0 MorkoVifz
1 WAS BORN in Poland.
Since 1925 l have lived in Is
rael. My first job in Israel was
as a laborer in the port of
Haifa. Because Haifa was a
small town with a small port,
and times were bad, there was
no opportunity for real exist
ence.
Together with a small group
of young men, we went to the
port as laborers. The reason we
went to work there was not only
to make living but to gain a
political existence. Our idea was
to take the work from the
Arabs, who worked for the Jew
ish merchants.

very hard time as it was almost
impossible to survive on the
meagre wages and bad working

surviving of my family. The rest
of the family were all killed

The climate here is somewhat
similar to that of Israel, the
difference being that it rains
there during the winter in long
spells. But the sun, sky, noun

much of Israel. l hope to re-

The Milk or Human Kindness


We once heard woman of
great experience say the Negro
race will never reach the height
OF which it should be capable be-
cause it lacks the milk of human
kindness flowing in its viens." The
love to which this lady referred
was our genuine love for another.
our desire to be kind, understand
ing and thoughtful of one another.
Dunbar's veterans, however have
decided to lead in trying TO a.
bolish this idea. The move they
made was one to show to the
world that all humanity is not
cold inside; they want them to
known that they do possess the
milk of human kindness. There
fore last Friday night the Vet
Grams Club of Dunbar sponsored an
inspirational program to help get
funds for the delinquent mothers
Of our race. We feel this was one
of the most worthwhile moves of
our time. Often we have seen
girls make an error and what
happens? Average society casts
them aside; they are just not
good enough to associate with us
anymore. We have wondered a.
bout that. If we, character build
ing organizations, such as the
home, church, and the school are
not going to throw our arms a
round them and try to let them
know that We are willing to lend
a helping hand to them that they
might be restored to their right
full place in society just who do
We expect to do the job? We Of
ten hear the statement "she or he
has gone to the dogs. Is there
any other place to 60 If average
society turns its back and isn't in
terested in how you make it back
up the hill? People are going to
go where they feel accepted, If we
don't accept them then they will
go to those who will
We are proud of the heart in
side our veterans and We are pray.
ing that they will continue to
lead us in the direction of OPEN
and human kindness.
