Molotov had made pro-Jewish
statements, and condemned anti
Semitism. Some of them credited
Jews with having helped bring
success to the Communist regime.
Stain, in 1886, said that anti
Semitism was a protective device
of capitalism. But all the Soviet
leaders went to great lengths to
point to a difference between the
"Jewish worker" and the "Jewish
capitalist" and in this fashion it
became easy to brand all Jews
outside of Russia as Capitalists"
and to link Zionism with imper-
ialism and capitalism. Lenin was
especially outspoken in his con-
demnation of the idea of Jew
ish nation as 'only a Zionist idea,
utterly false and reactionary in its
essence"
How, then, is the Russian pro-
Palestine partition stand of 1947
to be explained? It was an act
against the British, who then
were opposed to Jewish statehood
and were giving encouragement
to the Arabs. But, within two
years Soviet policy again re-
versed itself. American power in
the area, replacing the British,
had in the meantime developed in
association with the Truman Doc
trine, and Arab national feeling

The Civics class of Key West
High School seniors, taught by
Mrs. Rebecca Martin, sent post
cards to Congressman Bill Lantaff
last week in which they voiced
opinions on the granting of state
hood of Hawaii and Alaska.
This interest impressed Lantaff
so favorably that he is devoting
a Miami broadcast to the subject
and wrote a letter to Horace
O'Bryant attaching a long and
thorough memorandum containing
vital information about the two
territories for class use.
| The last paragraph of the men,
orandum was most pertinent and
stated: "The question of statehood
for Alaska and Hawaii will come
up again in this Congress. If the
majority of the House and Senate
are convinced that the people of
Hawaii have broken the back of

territory, It Is probably that Hawaii
will become the 49th State. AS far
