Major I. Moscovitz
Editor, Southern Jewish Weekly
Jacksonville, Florida
Dear Major Moscovitz:
I want to tell you how pleased
I am with the splendid progress
you are making with The South
ern Jewish Weekly. I am glad
to note the fast-growing circula-
ton of your newspaper in this
territory.
My purpose in writing this
letter is to comment on the regu-
lar weekly feature, plain Talk"
written by your columnist, Mr..
Alfred Segal, which 1 always en-
JOY reading. Recently he wrote
about parochial schools in which
he speaks the mind of the Jew of
the time of Jacob, when Joseph
was sold into slavery by his own
brothers, and with all that
Joseph was made a prince in the
house of the Pharaoh of Egypt,
and he did not forget his people
nor did he lose his identity as
a Jew.
We do not want our children
to be brought up with a single
track mind, but democratically
with other children in the land.
AS for their religious training
and historical background, the
regular Hebrew schools should
furnish this education to our
children after school hours and
on Sunday. This will enlighten
them sufficiently to face their
neighbors and be proud and un-
afraid of their JewishnesS, with
out mourning bad feelings and
without giving bait to the rabble
rowsers, who like nothing better
than to point out that we are
segregating ourselves and look
upon ourselves as strangers in
the land Of our birth.
l hope you will print this let
ter as you have many others
which do not necessarily agree
with your editorial policy.
I am glad that The Southern
Jewish Weekly is a free and
independent publication which
presents the views of all types

though the general tenor of his
speeches leaves little doubt that
present overtures are from the
right party. He was vgooed by

rumored that he may Toe selected

commander of the unified Euro
pean army. Accepta nee of such
a post might not necessarily rule
him out of politics. but it Ger
tainly would preclude any politi-
cal activity for the duration and
that might be a protr acted period.
Gov. Dewey's course for 1852,
as projected in hds Meet the
Press radio interview, was not
very surprising. When he ac-
cepted the drafts to run for a
third term as Governor 1t was
pointed out here that this clearly
meant that he Intended to lead
the fight within mis- party for the
moderately prog nessive, interna-
tional elements with which he is
identified against the conserva-
tive, more nationalist wing of
the party of which Senator Taft
is the symbol and leader. To do
that effectively, he must continue
as Governor SO that he could con-
troll the New York convention
delegation, which would give him
considerable power in the con-
vention.
Intends to Have His Say.
That he confirmed in his radio
interview. likewise he confirmed
what also was forecast here. that
he intended to have a say about
who was Nominated, by declaring
that intention in so many words.
It was suggested then that he
also might have a candidate of
his own who might be Gen. Eisen-
hover. And, as for himself, it
was pointed out that it was un-
likely his party would nominate
him a third time as presidential
candidate, and to that practical
situation he bowed in his radio
interview.
When Gov. Dewey tossed the
mantle about the broad shoulders
of Gen. Eisenhower he made a
gesture that will be popular
with many Republicans. For
amorg them you hear the gen.
eral mentioned more and more
ofteni as the only man who could
take the party back into the
White House after the long barren
yealss. There is a note of des-
per:ition in their clutching at the

American effort to add other mill
tary forces than those of the
Atlantic pact to the European
defense system.
1t is difficult to understand the
French leaders mental processes.
France is very vulnerable. 1t has
major defense problems in Europe,
because of the French peoples
reluctance to join the armed
forces. France is seriously
threatened in the Far East,
where a full-scale war now is
in progress with the French forces
on the losing end. It would be
logical for France to welcome
any outside assistance.
Since we are waging a full
military campaign in Korea and
are confronted with a number
of heavy problems both in Europe
and Asia, Secretary of State
Acheson asked Foreign Minister
Robert Schuman to cooperate
with us in strengthening, at least,
the Atlantic front by agreeing to
the arming of number of Ger
man troops and to the inclusion
of Turkey in the Atlantic pact.
The Secretary of State pointed
out that since Western nations
lack principally trained man.
power, the inclusion of Germany
in the overall Western defense
would be logical. He argued that
there can be no threat to Frances
security from this former enemy,
not only because we have guaran-
teed the defense of French ter
ritory in the Atlantic pact, but
also because the Germans would
receive military equipment from
American factories and would not
have any of their own. A country
which does not have vast indus
trial power cannot wage war these
days.
United States Concept Rejected.
Mr.. Schuman was adamant.
He could not agree, he said, be-
cause his government would be
overthrown if he accepted the
American concept of overall de-
fense of Europe with the effective
participation of Western Ger

and familiar practical strategy for
Gov. Dewey, and answers the ques-
ton as to why he should speak
out so far in advance. Gen. Eisen-

This Changing World
French Stand on Arms for Germans
Seems Illogical and Shortsighted

The American people frequently
are reminded by their leaders OF
our responsibilities toward the
free world and the heavy sacrifices
we must make to fulfill our noble
mission. But it is difficult fo1
the average American to under
stand why, since we have &C
cepted the full burden of re-
sponsibility, we do not insist that
at least some of our ideas fol-
the accomplishment of that pur-
pose be accepted by one of the
principal beneficiaries.
The argument that such accept
ance would endanger the French
government is not we'll founded
In the last 80 years, and particu-
larly since We day. few French
cabinets have lasted as long as
year. The present ministry, headed
by Rene Pleven, is on the way out
But while we may be able to
understand the French people &
psychosis and inferiority complex
over the Germans, it is not easy
to gauge the mental processes OF
the French foreign minister when
he refused bluntly last week to
permit the Turkish republic to be
added to the Atlantic pact.
State Department Backs Turks.
Our State Department has in
dorsed the repeated Turkish pleas
for such inclusion. These were
based on two factors:
Cd The Turks, while receiving
American help in the form of war
materials and military advisers,
are not guaranteed against ag-
gression by the Atlantic pact ma
tions. They are Russia's direct
neighbors, and there is no telling
when Moscow may decide to start
a push-button war against them.
The Turks have a good army
the best in Europe and far supe-
rior to the French. Their joining
the Atlantic pact would give them
the responsibility of fighting
wherever the Allies may need
their military forces, and at the
same time they would know that
if the Russians started something
they would receive more than
encouraging words from Western
Europe.
(2) An intense propaganda
campaign is being waged by Mos
COW. telling the Turkish people
that they will be used only as
cannon fodder for the West. To
support this contention, the Mos
COW propagandists say that Tur-
keys exclusion from the Atlantic
pact CLUB" is due to the Western,
intention to let her down. if she
gets into serious trouble, and the
Ankara government fears thRt
such propaganda may have an
effect.
Secretary Acheson apprecia TED
the justice of the Turkish view
His efforts to get Turkey accepted
into the Atlantic pact failed. h5w-
ever, when Foreign Minister Scalu-
man turned down his suggestion
with such flnality that there fwas
no room for discussion.
