Lebanon and Palestine, as a result of the San Remo Conference, following the last war, have been complete failures, since mandatory powers, as a rule, did not live up to the code of conduct expected of faithful trustees. The actual practice of treating mandated areas as colonies by the latter resulted in strife, tension and exploitation of the mandated populations.

In the case of Palestine, especially, Great Britain, charged by the League of Nations to facilitate the establishment there of a National Home for the Jewish people, did everything in its power to violate this sacred charge. From the White Paper of 1922 to the infamous "Black" Paper of 1939 and even unto this very day the British Colonial Office has considered Palestine as a colonial possession, and is, even today, sanctioning "The EnfjlixhJcirixh icxpapcrx of America hare the common objective of rendering a xprcializcd ice to their rexpective communities, to America and to the wider American Jewixh eommunit "These, pcriodicalK hare for tluir common idea the further advancement of Jewixh journalism, the attainment of the hiihext literary and profei-xional standards, and the maintenance of a militant, fearless approach to all Jewixh prohli mx.

Mr. Monsky, who is an official consultant of the United States delegation, appointed to serve in that capacity by the American Jewish Conference, which represents sixty-four national Jewish organizations and approximately three million Jews of the United States, also demanded that the San Francisco Conference outlaw anti-Semitism as an instrument of national and international policy. Liberal minded citizens of the world view the adoption of inter national legislation which would outlaw anti-Semitism of vital nee essity for the world of tomorrow. I The latter poisonous weapon, I through which six million Jews I have been brutally tortured and mercilessly butchered throughout. the cities, towns and villages of Europe, must be completely destroyed by all forty-seven nations now convened at San Francisco, if the miserable, sorely-tried remnants of European Jewry are to endeavor to reconstruct their lives anew in the lands of that liberated continent.

We would be deceiving ourselves if we naively believed that with the complete defeat of Nazi Germany, anti-Semitism, too, will have disappeared. Experiences in liberated Europe during the past six months contradict such wishful thinking.

Segal has just been spanked for the piece he wrote about Israel Zolli, the of Rome who was converted to Catholicism, I regret to say that the chastisement was delivered upon Mr. Segal by Rabbi Robert Gordis, president of the Rabbinical Assembly of America. Yet, if Mr. Segal has to be rab-binically spanked it should feel more authoritative to get it from one of the head men, like the president of the Rabbinical Assembly. It will be recalled that Segal had hoped, in this column, that if Rabbi Zolli had to become a Christian he would become a most authentic one.

Yes, authentic Christians in the pattern of the Sermon on the Mount are rather scarce in Christendom and, Segal wasn't one to begrudge the Christian world one Jew who might turn out to become authentically Christian. (Segal was mindful that it shouldn't be hard for Rabbi Zolli to be an exemplary Christian since all his life he had been brought up on the spiritual and ethical ideals of Judaism.) TJrtur Ral.hi flnrHis. In a letter. takes Segal severely to task. Rab bi Gordis practically evicts egai frnm th hnnu of Israel as.

one who "does belong to the Jews of au points oi view, urtnoaox, conservative and Reform, believers or non-believers, who everywhere have resented and deplored this tragic betrayal of their people and their faith." Jewish Self-Respect He says: "Mr. Segal is not concerned with the problem of Jewish self-respect or intellectual integrity involved in accepting a new faith which in spite of its great" and undoubted virtues, offers little that is new to a professing Jew. "By this piece he (Segal) serves notice that he has outgrown the narrow viewpoint of his ancestors who for 2,000 years have resisted every blandishment and persecution in order' to maintain uncompromisingly the doctrine of the Unity of God-. Mr. Segal may impress many a Christian readily as being a likely prospect for the next solicitation for the missionary fund." Now, now, my dear Rabbi Gordis! Please be merciful to this Segal.

Let me tell you something about him: I really think he might, as you suggest, contribute something to a Christian missionary fund if it were guarameeo. mav iund II it were guaramccu umi ii 11 property, is still in force in Sal-onica; and in France, Belgium, Rumania and Hungary, the venomous influence of Nazi anti-Semitism is visible daily Jews are experiencing extreme difficulty in having their property returned to them by present possessors. Difficulties Now Apparent The Lesson of Indifference Al the very moment of the I'niled Nil I ions' meeting, intended to fnime a constitution for world order to niiiintiiin pence, the clock of fiite has brought to midnight the Nazi program in Kurope which began with robbery, torture and wholesale murder of the Jewish people. The conference and the American people have- before them the object lesson of the consequences which ensued from the virtually unopposed campaign of horror which made the Jews its first victims. The first steps in the major crime of history against mankind were dismissed almost with a shrug.

People did not believe what responsible observers reported was going on because they did not wish to believe and they did not wish to assume the moral responsibility that comes of knowing crimes are being committed. After all, it was merely the Jews who were being robbed, not merely of their possessions and of the status they had earned by long years of silent endurance, service and merit, but of every vestige of human dignity. The Jews were, after all, less than one percent of the population of pre-war Germany and if the Nazis chose tliem as the whipping boy for all of western civilization, that was the Jews hard luck. It was just too bad for them and let's see who will win the big league pennant this summer and whom shall we send to the Olympics in Herlin? What people did not realize was that with the Jews the Nazis were making a desperate assault upon everything that constitutes man's age-old and hard-won civilization. They are realizing it now as the starved ami maimed spectors that once were 'men and women and children are being rescued only to die in the ghastly Nazi concentration camps.

The story now is the story "not of Jews but of American soldiers Dutch and Belgian and Polish and Norwegian and Hussian nhd Czech civilians. It is fitting that as the Allied armies from Knsl and West meet in the vulture's haunt, Herlin, and with the object lesson of indifference to. the fate of a people, the I'nited Nations should be meeting with the task of laying the groundwork for a now world. For no people in the world and millions have been victims of the Nazi barbarians is this -meeting of greater significance than for the Jews. They of all people depend upon world peace and justice for their very existence.

They of all people, despite the -malignant propaganda which has charged them with creating or striving for war, have- most to lose from war and most to gain from the peace and world order which it is the object of the San Francisco Conference to assure. The Jews have special objectives' in San Francisco. The accredited organizations serving as advisers to the American delegation will press the claims for admitting Jews to Palestine. They will urge such modifications in the mandates and trusteeships system that no one nation can continue to use mandated territory chiefly as a pawn in the game of Empire. They will urge, together with other peace seeking bodies of the -world, promulgation of a world bill of rights assuring to the humblest the human dignity against which the main Nazi was delivered.

So the cause of humanity is championed and made good by the first and most grievous sufferers from the Nazi war against civilization. Their case is proved beyond any doubt and they of all people will watch' with most concern to see whether the I'nilcd Nations Conference gives unmistakable signs that it has learned the lesson of the past twelve and more agonized years. ministration of India and other portions of the globe. The development of such situations would undoubtedly cause the British Government serious international embarrassment, and might eventually result in the justification for intervention by the United Nations. The American delegation, on the other hand, is whole-heartedly in favor of the adopt'011 ot an international Bill ol Rights by the United Nations.

This contention is supported by the facts that, first, the United States does not practice imoerialism. nor does it con template becoming an imperialistic power; and, second, that the Government of the United States, which gives "to bigotry no sanction," is sincerely anxious to help establish a rew world order in which human rights may be accorded all peoples and nations the world over, without exception. In the light oi the foregoing, it very probable that the Commission on Economic and Social Cooperation, one of the vital committees of the Security Conference, designed as an integral part of the Dumbarton Oaks Agreement, may be authorized and empowered by the United Nations to study the need for the adoption of an international Bill of Rights. The recommendation for the adoption such a Bill universally would then be presented at the next session of the General Assembly of the United Nations perhaps the peace conference. The attitude of Soviet Russia this significant problem will be important factor in the consideration of the adoption of an international Bill of Rights.

The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics has demonstrated, beyond any question or doiibt, that human inequality can be eradicated by law; and it has likewise proved, beyond shadow of doubt, that by making anti-Semitism a crime against the State, racial and religious prejudice can thoroughly be eliminated. Molotov's position on these basic questions may influence and determine the Conference's course action with regard to this vexing, fundamental problem.

It will concern itself with the question of international trusteeships for mandated territories, and it will be charged with the preparation and presentation of specific recommendations for the setting up of machinery to deal with the practical details of the same. Both the American and British delegations have made it perfect First World War, that the appoint- ments of singular powers to serve as trustees of designated territo-, ries, as was the case with Syria, to the United States delegation And anyone who believed that all Jewish leaders who came here from New York would form a United Front will be greatly disappointed There is no United Front even between the leaders of the American Jewish Conference, World Jewish- Congress and Zionist Emergency Council They work hand-in-hand, but the unity -is superficial as far as the persons involved are concerned However, the Jews are not the only group which is split into competing sections The Spanish speaking groups here are even more divided among themselves There are pro-Franco and anti-Franco elements, pro-Argentine and antirArgeRtine, The same is true of the- Yugoslav groups here Some conduct pro-Tito work, while others are pro-Mi-hailovitch Not to speak of the Polish pressure groups Some of them are conducting violent propaganda for the Polish Exile Gov ernment in London, while others I advocate the cause of the Lublin i regime So great is the division in the ranks of private groups here of different nationalities that the United States delegation to the conference is becoming tired of the 1 pressure of these groups In fact, one member of the American dele- i gation confided thi that the delega by George B.

It is in the light of the aforementioned failure to faithfully administer mandated territories that he United States and Soviet Russia are probably inclinde to favor the termination of singular trusteeships over mandated countries.

In their place, they prefer a form of international trusteeship whereby a number of powers, such as the Soviet Union, the United States, China, France and Great Britain, would assume joint responsibilty for the administration of such designated territories. There can be no question that the latter arrangement would eliminate the defects and injustices resulting from singular trusteeships. jAttlee's Bombshell! Apparently aware of the senti-i ments and plans of the other Unit-i ed Nations on this subject, the British delegation, headed by Dep-i uty Prime Minister Clement R. Attlee, made public at a press conference in ban Francisco on April 24 their opposition to the aforementioned reconstruction of the mandate system, and thus amazed Zionists and non-Zionists alike by declaring that the question of whether Palestine should be placed under an international trusteeship should be "put up to the Palestinians" The objectives of this proposal are self-evident. Britain would like nothing better, judging from her acts in the past ten years, than to incorporate Palestine into her Empire; officially let the world believe that she is faithfully fulfilling her charge under the mandate, but actually liquidating the Jewish Homeland.

Naturally, the Arab delegations in San Francisco, were, indeed, overjoyed and overwhelmed by Att-lee's remark; for, should a plebiscite he held in Palestine with re gard to a change in the status of the Palestine mandate, England would be certain of absolute control, since the Arabs outnumber the Jews there two to one. We do not "believe that the British delegation will succeed in influencing the Conference to adopt their Government's plan in relation to The United States delegation will probably oppose it; likewise, France and numerous other powers. And Russia, in particular, will undoubtedly demand an international trusteeship for Palestine. Those who have read Frank Gervadi's excellent analysis, entitled "Russia vs. Britain in the Mediterranean," which appeared in the February 10th issue of Collier's, cannot but be strengthened in this conviction.

We are hopeful that the firm opposition of Soviet Russia and the United States may frustrate the British delegation's attempt to transform Palestine into a British colony. Schemes of partition, he says, have satisfied no one The author comes to the conclusion that it is doubtful whether the Arabs will surrender political control over Palestine except under force This, he points out, would involve explosions throughout- the Moslem world the Author admits that "spectacular developments" have occured around the Jewish settlements in Palestine at great expense for drainage of swamps and irrigation at the same time, he emphasizes that the Arabs, on the other hand, have not developed agricultural cultivation "to its maximum" For undisclosed reasons he says nothing about the other Jewish achievements in the development of Palestine, and makes no mention in the entire book of the Jewish contribution to Palestine's' industry, health, etc. In his chapter on the Far East, the author lauds Jewish achievements in Biro-Bidjan and finds the Jewish settlement there to be "especially interesting" He points out that Jews receive full rights throughout the USSR, but says that the Jewish autonomous district of Biro-Bidjan is not only what he calls "a Soviet Palestine," but is also strengthening the economy of the entire Khabarovsk region The book contains lots of valuable information about all the various nationalities and countries in Asia It is an encyclopedic survey re- i suiting from 100,000 miles of travel in Asia and two decades of research. (Copyright, 1945) i Liberated Jews Guarding Dutch Collaborators London (JTA) Former Jewish prisoners have been detailed as guards for the first batch of 220 Dutch collaborators who have been sent to the Wester-bork concentration camp, which was formerly a Nazi camp for Dutch Jews, the correspondent of the Daily Herald reports. The Jewish guards, the correspondent says, registered the collaborators, clipped their hair and assigned them to places in the prison huts.

After all, Britain's record i is far from pure white in the ad- Between You and Me By Boris Smolar "don't fence me in' He has been living longer than you, Rabbi Gordis. You have been living in this world only since 1908. In that year Segal was already a newspaper reporter. From havingrlived so long Segal has picked up many confirmations of the idea that God is really one God and that mankind is one also.

(If you believe in one God who is the Father you must believe in one brotherhood of the children of God.) And what's the difference if Segal's neighbor, Mr. Egan, Him in Latin while Secal 'does it in 'Segal feels kin to Mr. tgan ne is a brotherly Christian. The Brotherhood of Mankind Mr. Egan lives on the same floor of the apartment house which is Segal's address.

He is a gentle soul who goes to Mass and in the way of his life. In all things, behaves in accordance with teachings that are Christian as well as Jewish. He is conscious of God in all his doings though he has some different ideas or jesus pan in the Godhood. Segal thinks of him as a brother in the fraternity of Godly men. There are no real differences between Segal and Mr.

Egan that Segal can see. The clergies fence people in and postpone the "brotherhood. Now I wouldn't have you think that Segal is any the less Jewish brace the Catholic and the Protestant as brothers. On the Sabbath the candles burn brightly on his dinner table and he recites the Kiddush. He makes a pageant of Seder.

He is faithfully at the synagogue on the high holidays. He is meticulous for the honor of the Jewish name. I hope these are fair credentials of Segal's Jewishness which keeps on being though Segal can iaKe me imitu Catholic and the Protestant in fraternity. He wants every man to go faithfully in the way of his own faith; if he is truly loyal to his own faith he can not be faithless, to the brotherhood. Rather bromidically Segal they're all going his way.

He likes to hope that in time the new song "Don't Fence Me In" will become a hymn in all the churches and synagogues. Segal, indeed, felt momentary indignations upon hearing that Rabbi Zolli had deserted his faith tr. hsnnmn a rathnlir. That weak. old so-and-so! Then Segal laughed: hi Hnl Tn time Zolli.

No longer will any American have cause to doubt that, in the matter of sadism and the practice of brutality, the Germans are indeed a master race. The value of the Muchenwald camp revelation lies in the fact (hat the American soldiers came upon it before the Germans, in tlu ir haste, could dismantle and destroy the evidence of their crimes. When the Russians came to Poland, must of the extermination camps bad been destroyed by the Germans. The evidence of the wanton cruelty of the Germans was to be found mainly in the disappearance of millions of people.

The booVs were found in the camps, with Uie records of the millions confined to them, but the people were not there. Some who escaped, to be sure, told how the Germans had destroyed or taken the human crematories along with them to Germany. The cruelty that was practiced in Poland was infinitely greater than that in lluchenwold or Helsen, but the Germans bad managed to kill all before the Russians arrived, and dead men, as the saying goes, tell no tales. This Wits not the case at the concentration camps in Germany. Here, the American soldiers saw Russians, Poles, French and even many American soldiers, lying in a state of ghastly emaciation.

Here, they came upon members of the concentration camps, still alive enough to recount bow the Germans hung up prisoners, as sides of meat on hooks, and then beat them to death with sticks.
