The People's Open Forum Challenge to the United Nations About the Jews in Palestine THE FORGOTTEN ALLY: By Pierre ON HOW TO MAKE riers in the path of Zionists but actually has financed the cause of Arab nationalism in Syria to the north, as well as in Palestine proper, to demonstrate failure of the French as colonial Equitable World Order Is Said Juvenile Delinquency it Vv. i van Paassen. Dial. $2.75.

Reviewed by Rcece Stuart, jr. THE title character of Mr. van Paassen's book is the Zionist Jew of Palestine, and behind him the Jews of the world who support him, spiritually and financially, and look with racial nostalgia to the national homeland he has sought since Biblical times and which, until recently, he thought he had found at the eastern end of the Mediterranean. Mr. van Paassen has encountered that nostalgia in the stinking ghettoes of Central Europe, has been aware of it though not himself Jewish in many other parts of the world, and has witnessed the heart-breaking disappointment in Palestine itself as pledges gave way to imperialistic politics.

BLAMES BRITISH He does not support the charge, widely believed, that Britain promised Palestine, plus Trans-Jordan, first to the Jews in the Balfour Declaration, and then promised it again to the Arabs, as reward for their assistance in defeat of the Turk in World War I. He insists, and convincingly cites the record, that the pledge to the Jews was an honest one and the ONLY one. He insists and goes even to Colonel Lawrence own writings to prove that the famed "Revolt in the Desert" simply never occurred, that the Arabs, indeed, contributed very little to British success against the Turk, hence that Britain is riot in the Arabs' debt. The very incidence of violent antag onisms between Jew and Arab in Palestine he lays at the door of anti- Semite British civil servants charged with the administration of the man date which was to culminate in an in dependent Palestine. Jew and 1 Arab, he declares, have lived amicably together all over the Arab world for centuries, until British imperialists took alarm at the prospect of the growth of a love of independence which would have radiated from an "Island of freedom" in Palestine through the colonial-mmded peoples of the Levant.

Certainly juvenile delinquency of today is deplorable, but I believe, the good judge is a little pessimistic about the future of our civilization.

Preventing unemployment and instability in Germany.

2. Continue the manufacture of armaments which the Allies may use in order to defeat Japan. This plan of letting Germany win the war economically is advanced by quite a number of Pan-Germans who have penetrated Washington, D. C. and are active in several government offices such as the Office of Strategic Services and the Office of War Information.

And it is most interesting to that those who advocate Pan-Germanism in disguised form very often find open doors, while those true anti-Nazi elements, these liberal and democratic-minded Germans are not consulted all.

TWO-THIRDS RULE WORKABLE THING To the Open Forum Editor: In making treaties it seems to me that there has been as much fault with the executive branch of our gov ernment as with the senate. The Constitu tion plainly states that the president is to advise with the senate when making treaties; viz.

"The president shall have power by and with the advice and consent of the senate to make treaties, pro vided two-thirds of lv the senators present concur." Now, when the Con- hill. stitution was adopted, a great fear of presidential power obsessed the people, and the two-third3 rule was to guard against any treaty that would embroil the country in foreign affairs. It was not so unworkable with but 26 senators. but now with 96 it needs co-operation between the president and senate to make it i function efficiently. Take the mission of Secretary Hull to Russia.

No one knows better than Stalin that he can make no binding agreement; but if the senate had been asked to choose one of their number to represent them as Secretary Hull does the president, there would be trust and eden, confidence established where doubt now prevails. In other words, either repeal the two-thirds rule or make it work so our delegates will have the same respect and. confidence in their right to deal for the United States that Eden has to deal for Great Britain. D. N.

Luse, Emmetsburg, la. IS SORRY TO SEE SCHULTZ DEPART To the Open Forum Editor: It was with real regret that I read of Dr. T. W. Schultz leaving Iowa State college.

The prestige of the col lege has most certainly suffered from his resignation and the much pub licized butter-oleo controversy. The department of economics has been of great help to farmers and to other groups. Personally, I was in terested in it because of a son, now a lieutenant (J.g.) in the navy who was an agricultural economics student when he enlisted. I am wondering if he and others like him will want to re turn to I.S.C. after the war.

We are sending fine young people out to fight and die for principles which we should at least strive to keep alive while they are gone. Farmers are entitled to fair prices but they should also be fair minded enough to welcome and accept the findings of science and to adjust them selves to changes. I also think that the extension de partment could be of greater service to a larger number of people if it were not connected with any farm organization. I say this in all honesty although we have been members of the Farm Bureau for more than 20 years. Mrs.

WILLKIE OPPOSED AS A CANDIDATE To the Open Forum Editor: Some of the serious minded people are becoming alarmed as they note the apparent grooming of Willkie for the presidency on the Republican ticket. Briefly, his choice would be one tre mendous mistake, because: 1.

He is too vacillating a Demo crat a few years ago, a Republican now, a New Dealer more recently, but something else now. Who knows what he'll be even six months hence? In these extremely precarious times we need a president firmly established and settled in his mind regarding the almost unsurmountable problems ahead. 2. Willkie fooled us once, which means never again for most of us. 3.

The third objection to Willkie is the fact that Roosevelt, according to recent utterances, is not at all opposed to him as an occupant of the White House, which suggests, at least, that there might be identical trains in their political thinking, which is most as suredly the thing we Americans and our country need to get away from. now and for all time. 4. Willkie would not have sufficient universal appeal to bring the Repub lican party back into power, which must be done in order to restore political and economic, not to mention social, sanity in the country.

To the Open Forum Editor: The challenge of the present world crisis can be met only by a world order based upon liberty and equality. The present crisis is not the result of the disorder of one continent Europe nor the affair of one race the white race. Europe and the white race do not occupy any longer the central position of former centuries. The American frontier is not only on the Rhine; but it is also on the Mekong, the Dnieper, and the Niger. A TOTAL CRISIS.

For the first time in history we are involved in a total crisis, deciding in a total way the fate of our world. This war is neither in its origin nor in its consequences a European war. It is a world war. But it Is not a world war between continents or races. Nor is it what some American fascists would have welcomed, a war of the white or Nordic race against inferior races, against Asiatic Russia or the Yellow Peril.

It is a war in which on both sides all races are involved, a war the outcome of which will determine the fu ture of all races on earth. who wnx WIN. The opponents of Germany and Japan will win the war, overcome the crisis and establish the peace only if Defends Iowa Wonders If Critics Are Jealous of Prestige Of the School. To the Open Forum Editor: I am both disgusted and wondering why this smear and criticizing cam paign has been launched against Iowa State college! Are these carping critics jealous of the prestige of Iowa State, or have they hidden motives up their sleeves to undermine the people's faith in this great and noble school It is an institution that has sent forth 50,000 or more splendid young men and women into the streams of our national life to enrich it by their achievements in the curriculums taught in this school. Anyone acquainted with Iowa State college knows it is a workhouse and not a playground, for if a student won't apply himself to his work he is politely told he had better go some where else and not take up the time of his instructors who can better apply it to those who are eager and willing to work.

I have known many of these professors and teachers personally for the last 25 years and have found them efficient teachers and fine Christian men and women whoso object in life is to help the ambitious youth of Iowa and other states and lands who wanted an education that would open to them the doors of industry home economics, veterinary medicine, engineering, and agriculture, knowing that a diploma from Iowa State was a magic wand giving them the first chance. Why? Because educators and business men knew that Iowa State college produced the product they wanted, namely, expertly and scientifically trained young men and women. So this tempest in a teapot about a pamphlet is not going to hurt Iowa State in the estimation of people who know the real facts. (The Rev.) Paul J. Gramness, 3927 University Des Moines.

She Asks Question About Social Gains To the JDpen Forum Editor: Henry Wallace says that powerful interests are out to destroy the social gains of the last 10 years. What social gains? Taking power from the people and establishing it in the executive at Washington by vast bureaucratic setups, bribing the people with handouts, doles and subsidies to maintain of totall tarianism all obtained by sky-rocket ing the national debt, did not solve one of our major problems and perma nently benefited no -one, only the "big financiers who create money out of nothing and therefore will reap this great windfall that the masses will have to pay back, with interest, be sides by hard labor and deprivation because Article Section 8, Clause 5 of our Constitution that delegates this power to congress (all the people) is not enforced.

Opposition Voiced to Socialized Medicine To the Open Forum Editor: If the new medical bill passes, our whole medical system, including hospitals, physicians, private charitable institutions, will be overthrown, and taxation on every Individual will be doubled, and a dictator under title of "surgeon general" will have complete charge.

He will appoint all doctors and hospitals; he will dictate who is to be your family physician. He might be a colored doctor or a Japanese. If this bill passes, it is effective Jan. 1, 1944. Every individual, every hospital, pharmacist, and physician should write his congressman at once, deploring this plan to socialize medicine.

It is a unique and distinguishing character of this greatest crisis in recorded human history that the survival and the victory of all free peoples depend upon their becoming and remaining United Nations. ALL OR NONE. The free peoples of the earth are today in a situation in which there is survival for them except as United Nations.

Although the forces of democracy, industrial technology and nationalism in mutual support and conflict have shared the background out of which the present crisis grew, yet they point toward harmonization the United Nations. The difficulties in the way of the realization of this new situation are tremendous. It has always been easier for men to sacrifice their lives and even their fortunes than to abandon their habitual ways of thought and feeling, their prejudices and traditions. Today it demands great wisdom and courage to see that in the present crisis nationalism is not enough. The greatest obstacle to a permanent asso ciation of nations by which the secur ity of each shall be made to rest upon the strength of the whole are disbelief in its feasibility "and our subjection to the traditions of national sover eignty and independence.

Caesar Petrillo is an orcnestra leader in Chicago who has no official connec tlon with the American Federation of Musicians.

James C. Petrillo, a brother of Caesar, is the president, to whom the poisoned arrows of the national press, by common consent, have applied the cognomen of "Caesar" because of its denotation of power. And now that you have brought the subject into local notice we wish to point out a few facts which are unani mously ignored in one of the most dis creditable campaigns known to the history of modern journalism. NEGOTIATIONS SOUGHT. "James C.

The remarkable thing about these men's activities is that they have not found their work any too difficult. The fear of a revolution in Germany seems to haunt certain quarters when persons have an obsession for "law and order" in the postwar world. SENSELESSNESS. While there is some vague talk about punishment of war criminals (which would leave out those who have committed crimes not directly connected with the war), no mention whatsoever is made of some punishment to be meted out to the Ger man business leaders who connived with the Nazis even long before Hitler took over the "government" and conspired with them to bring about the present war.

On Fighting in Italy And Striking in U. S. To tha Open Forum Editor A news dispatch relates that the Allies are making headway in Italy, and the story of how the American soldiers crossed a vital river makes dramatic reading. The price was high on that crossing, and naked bodies of our boys lay on the ground at the foot of the bridge, victims of merciless German gunfire To celebrate or to emphasize this victory in Italy, some of our greatest war industries are silent and still tied up in labor difficulties.

The Thrilling Story Of Flying Marine Hero JOE FOSS, FLYING MARINE: By Walter Simmons. Dutton. $2.50. EDDIE RICKENB ACKER, outstanding ace of World War brought down 26 planes in 1913. Maj.

Joe Foss, practically the prototype of the Flying Marines, has 26 Jap planes to his credit already and there are those who say that the war in the Pacific is yet young. Joe didn't leave off because he'd tied a record. Malaria sent him home a thing the Japs had been unable to do. But he opens this story with the expression of a hope "to get some more cracks at the fellows who started this mess." His story, a thrilling account of 63 days in the skies over the Southwest Pacific when our toe-hold there was precarious, would be a horror-tale to Tojo. It makes the award of the Congressional Medal to Major Foss seem a gesture almost as modest aa the major himself.

Without these gifts many such homes would have nothing to remind them of Christmas except the absence of gay-colored packages due to their destitution or disappointment over expected return from crops. Trained workers at Tuskegee Institute who serve in these areas report this year many examples of real sacrifice among the children of such homes to help with the war effort. Children, frequently ill-clad, have gathered scrap and otherwise earned a few pennies here and there with which to purchase war stamps.

It is to encourage such children that we again appeal to the public for discarded clothing, shoes and other material such as books and toys which may be re-packaged into gifts for distribution in homes and community assemblies. Some friends prefer to send money which we use to purchase fruit, candy and such other things as may be needed to complete the individual packages. In a few exceptional instances, we have paid for urgently needed and long deferred hospital treatment of a deserving child or an adult as a very special Christmas gift. Thanks to Victory gardens and the food preservation program there is less danger this winter of outright hunger, but the need for wearing apparel is urgent and each such gift releases a few more pennies for further purchases or war stamps and at the same time reduces health hazards from exposure.
