THE   CANADIAN   JEWISH   REVIEW
A Program Per American Jewry from The Zionist Point Off Viow
MARRIAGES
By Unset Wax, Of
who hesitates is lost," so the old adage and well may wt romomher this in tho chaos of tftn> present moment To-day Jews to America stand in need of a dy-snusuc progressive program of action that will serve, firstly, to atflJte oar forces most effectively to combat Fascism, and, secondly, to safeguard our hard won political rights and ensure our place in the post war world. The above u*sn*oued points require further elaboration for they contain in Astir analysts the outline of a concrete program of action for American Jewry.
The first point mentioned generalised the issue In the light of tha present world conflagration, son be no doubt in anyone's that upoi the defeat of Fascism today hinges any possible nope we may have for tomorrow. In the terrific struggle that Is being waged to destroy Fascism we must take Our place on an equal footing with the rest of the United Muttons. To-day's struggle Is one of weapons, men and supplies. It Is not only a political struggle represented in the two conceptions Involved, but also a mechanised mass struggle that will be decided m favour of the force that is most powerfully armed and equipped. Translated into national terms this means the utilization by the United Nations of every single lota of help  that each  nation  can
national group can, because of the very nature of its internal organization, best contribute to this united war effort if al-lowed to express itself in an ln-dfvkktal military force, represen-nf Its aspirations and ex its deteiuima-
fightlng in Its name, surely the Jewish War Effort can best be realised by the creation of an individual armed unit, or as commonly termed "a Jewish Army". Is it not contradictory to the whole conception of United Nations If we, of all groups, are denied this fundamental expression? This does not imply that Jews are not part and parcel of the struggle against Fascism but It does point out that Jews could best he rallied by the creation of such a unit Seeing the existence of a Jewish Army, the Jewish community would be more than ready to support and even to help equip such a group. It would focus the eyes of every Jew on this war effort and serve as a national stimulus to a greater war effort A person will give to a great cause but Is he not readier to give more if his own kin is part and parcel of that cause? This is not an unimportant point for It is recognition of a very important psychological reaction.
Here then is a concrete expression of Jewish political activity In America to-day; the demand for a Jewish armed force to fight under the Mogen David as a symbol of our determination to fight to the very end In the struggle to destroy Fascism. If we have been refused such a body to the present moment it is not because of inability to create and arm such a force but rather the reluctance on the part of Great Britain to place in the hand* of the'Jewish people the political power {hat a Jewish Army would wield. This reluctance Is quite consistent with the remnants of appeasement whose echoes may still be heard in the corridors of {he British Colonial Office and as exemplified in the White Paper pobcy atfll as
The marriage of Mildred, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. Rubenstein, to Corporal Meyer Shaw1 of St John, Nit, took place on January 3 at the home of Rev. Boris Char-loff, Markhem Street, who officiated. The bride, given in marriage by her parents, wore an afternoon dress of blue silk with insets of white lace, and matching hat with finger-tip veil. She carried a nosegay of roses. Miss Rose Rubenstein was her only attendant, in a dress of white and black silk, and a corsage of red roses. Murray Shaw, of Windsor, brother of the groom, was best man.

The marriage of Jennie, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. Stltsky, Spadtaa Avenue, to WllBam, son of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Bernstein, took place on January 17, at Hebrew Men of England Synagogue, Rotobi M.

Here was an attempt by the British Colonial Office to appease the Arabs by cutting off Jewish land purchase and Jewish immigration. This in the face Of floods of refugees beating on the gates of Eretz Israel, their hut hope. The opposition to the Chamberlain Cabinet, which consisted of Churchill, Morrison, Crlpps, Att-lee, fiercely attacked this policy in no uncertain terms. Churchill spoke of the White paper as "a plain breach of a solemn obligation** and "another Munich"; Herbert Morrison declared "the government must not expect tint this is going to be automatically binbV

Translated mto terms Htkal program, thai the Jewish couununity of must rally all its strength and influence to bring about the creation of a Jewish Army and see {hat the Palestinian White Paper is revoked and the Yishuv utilized to the full extent of Its manpower and supply. Let it not be thought that the White Paper is purely a Zionist problem for at the roots of this policy, which represents the last traces of Chamberlain appeasement lie in the forces that have tried consistently to destroy all that Palestine stands for.

The second generalization was the safeguarding of our political rights and the creation of those forces that will ensure for us our place m the post war world. There are many Jews who, blinded by
and slogans so generously used by our diplomats, see no need for action now, to secure our rights in the post war world To them the declaration of the Atlantic Charter si aB that is needed for everlasting security.

Is not this a contradiction that is meaningless? Why has the policy not been changed, now that they are in power? To whom does the innocent blood of the Struma tragedy cry out?
This Is the point made in reference to the Atlantic Charter and demonstrated in the White Paper policy. Declarations and even promises are not enough :� action must replace words. Jews must demand m terms of concrete realizations, answers to what win be our place when this war ends.
Briefly our main problems will be settlement of the millions of refugees who may stHl survive this conflict There will be the questions of rehabilitation, shifts of P*T"if f**�, revival of culture and learning, reconstruction of homes and dwellings and to me equally as important the task of eradicating from a Fascist indoctrinated Europe the myths and fables of a vile anti-Semitism that has been di ouuned Into minions of peoples. How we wlH accomplish these things win be one of the first proMi nis to present to the United Nations' Peace Conference.
