THE JEWISH HERALD-VOICE
SECRETARY OF STATE HULL
RESTATES PALESTINE POLICY
Washington, D. C. — Secretary of State Cordell E. Hull, in a
statement reiterating the sympathy of the American people with the
efforts of American Jewry for the rebuilding of Palestine, today gave
assurance that after the victory of the United Nations the Jewish
people will enjoy “equality and justice” and that “under the terms
of the Atlantic Charter the United Nations will be prepared not
only to redeem their hopes of a future world based upon freedom,
equality and justice, but to create a world in which such a tragedy
will not again occur.”
The Secretary of State made this statement to a delegation of
leading American Rabbis, representing Orthodox, Conservative and
Reform sections of American Jew-
ry, in replay to a memorandum
submitted to him “in commemora-
tion of the twenty-fifth anniver-
sary of the publication of the Bal-
four Declaration by the British
Government on November 2,
1917.”
The delegation was headed by
Dr. James G. Heller, of Cincin-
nati, President of the Central
Conference of American Rabbis
and Chairman of the National Ad-
ministrative Council of the Zion-
ist Organization of America. The
other members were Rabbi B. L.
Levinthal, of Philadelphia, the
partriachal head of the Union of
Orthodox Rabbis of America;
Rabbi Louis £. Levitsky, Presi-
dent of the Rabbinical Assembly
of America, and Rabbi Joseph H.
Lookstein, of New York, Presi-
dent of the Rabbinical Council of
America. /
The delegation which, called on
Secretary Hull at the State De-
partment asked for the further
implementation “of the letter and
the spirit of the Balfour Declara-
tion wherein the British Govern-
ment pledged itself to facilitate
the establishing in Palestine of a
National Home for the Jewish
people.”
In his statement, replying to the
representations by the heads of
all the Rabbinical Associations of
the United States, Secretary Hull
declared that “the Balfour Dec-
laration had aroused wide atten-
tion in the United States and that
this country had followed with
interest and sympathy the work
which had been done under it, in
which American citizens have
played a useful part.”
Alluding to the Zionist’s post-
war aims for the re-establishment
of Palestine as a Jewish National
Homeland, Secretary Hull stated
that “the Jews have long sought
a refuge. I believe that we must
have an even wider objective;
we must have a world in which
Jews, like every other race, are
free to abide in peace and in
honor.” “We meet today,” said
Secretary Hull, “when the battle
for freedom is being carried on
in the East and in the West and

JUDGES OF B’NAI BTUTH YOUTH'S
SERMON-WRITING CONTEST
our every effort is concentrated
on a successful issue. We can
with confidence look forward to
the victory when liberty shall lift
the scourge of persecution and
the might of the United Nations
free mankind from the threat of
oppression.”
Speaking of the campaign of
terror launched by the Nazis in
Europe, Secretary Hull stated
“that this country was shocked
and outraged when tyranny and
barbarity again commenced their
march, in the brutality which
was inflicted on certain > races,
and particularly on the Jewish
populations of Europe. Apparent-
ly no form of abuse has been too
great, and no form of torture or
oppression too vile, to be meted
out to these populations by the
Nazis despots. And, in taking this
attitude towards the Jewish race,
they have made it plain by con-
crete acts that a like attitude
would be taken towards any other
race against whom they might
invent a grievance!”
YUGOSLAVS PROMISE TO
RESTORE JEWISH PROPERTY
New York (JPS) — Kin^Peter
of Yugoslavia has signed a de-
cree whose effect will be to re-
store to Jewish as to all other
rightful owners the property tak.
en from them during the period
of the Nazi occupation of the
country, Bogoljub D. Jevtic,
Yugoslavian Minister of State,
and former Prime Minister, de-
clares in a letter released to the
American Jewish Committee and
published as part of a new mon-
ograph, “Goveraments-in-Exile
on Jewish Rights.”
“Equal rights and equal duties
for all our law-abiding citizens,
without distinction of creed, is
the guiding pmciple and the cor-
nerstone for a free and prosper-
ous Yugoslavia,” Jevtic states,
after stressing that “the Yugoslav
people has never looked upon our
Jews as being subject to a special
status in our free community, nor
is such a question being raised as
far as Yugoslavia’s future is con-
cerned.”

ment of Judaism, who are serving as judges in the national sermon-
writing contest sponsored by Aleph Zadik Aleph, B’nai B’rith youth
organization, in connection with the observance of the 17th annual
A. Z. A. Sabbath, to be held throughout the country on Friday

INCOME UP, GIFTS DOWN SAYS
GOLDEN RULE FOUNDATION
New York (JPS) — In an effort to challenge the Jews of America
as well as Protestant and Catholic citizens to greater generosity, the
Golden Rule Foundation has issued a series of charts to show that
although the national income and spending for luxuries are up,
the proportion of the national income for philanthropic, especially
war-connected causes, has gone downward.
Pointing out that the national income for 1942 is 24.8 per cent
higher than in 1941, the Foundation asserts that “concurrent with
this continuing increase in na- -——-
tional income, there has been a
31 per cent decrease in our gifts
for the support of church and
other character-building agencies.
“Even more significant is the
fact that while our boys are mak-
ing the greatest of sacrifices on
far-flung battlefields, and while
millions of our kinsmen and allies
in the invaded areas of the world
are bombed from their homes,
driven into exile, homeless and
improverished, we are not only
spending many times as much
money for intoxicating beverages
ZIONISTS TO CONTROL

and other luxuries as we give for
war relief, but the increased ex-
penditures for these luxuries over
and above the huge sums spent
for them in prewar years is more
than the total of all the money
given through voluntary agencies
for the relief of millions of or-
phans, widows, refugees and other
innocent victims of war through-
out the world.
“The problems of humanitar-
ian war relief are fully compar-
able with those of winning the
war and may prove a vital part
of winning and maintaining peace
based upon world brotherhood
rather than upon physical force.”
