Zionist Head Believes Hitler Seeks Death of Jewry
• . . • • - .
Palestine Only Refuge Emphasizing that it remains to be seen "whether the Jews, primarily the Jews of America, are ready to make the sacrifices necessary for the saving of the Jews to the same extent that Hitler is bleeding Germany to destroy the Jews." -Dr. Goldman said that "I am more convinced than ever before that, though temporary refuge in other lands is essential for the hundreds . of thousands ot Jews now being driven across the continent like terrorized sheep, it ia only the permanence of the Jewish homeland in Palestine • that can give to most of them and to the others who will follow a secure state for a peaceful life. ' Dr. Goldman asserted t h a t "Arab gangsters and guerilla bandits, fighting under the protective guise of nationalist slogans, are trying to undermine the great structure that Jewish initiative, capital and manpower have erected in the last 20 years. But it is Berlin and Rome, intent on embarrassing London and at .the same time on undermining, the great enterprise of the Jews, that are giving the ATab terrorists both the encouragement and the material support. I am hoping to convey to America t h e truth about the struggle now going on in Palestine." It is a struggle that •will determine whether the Jewish people, fighting against the seemingly overwhelming odds set up against them by all the resources of Germany and now of Italy, will be able to save the one place in the world to which the homeless and the uprooted among - them may go for security and peace." ' . Heady to Fight The difference between Vienna and Palestine, Dr.. Goldman said, • is that in Palestine Jews "courageously fight for their Tights and are prepared to die, if necessary, in their defense. There is injury and sorrow in Palestine but no insult and humiliation. The sufferings in Vienna are aimless and, therefore, unbearable; the trials of Palestine are the throes of rebirth, and therefore borne painfully but gladly." The Zionist president pointed out that the Jewish community in Palestine "could easily come to terms with the Arabs if it were only their own lives and possessions they wished to save. But Palestine Jewry recognizes that it is for the rights of hundreds of thousands of Jews outside of Palestine that it fights, while it loses some of its finest ones and daughters. In Warsaw. Vienna, Prague, Italy, Jewish leaders pleaded: Taka away our thousands! In Tel Aviv, Ain Hashofet, Raanaana. They importuned: Bring your thousands! The heroism that is being displayed daily in Palestine should arouse American Jews to a new sense of admiration in the discovery that a Jewish type has been moulded in Palestine, comprising men and. women who do not yield to oppression and attack, but fight back honorably and bravely regardless of the consequences to themselves."
icy against. Jews ia Europe by Fascist powers which have also "featured Arab opposition to the Jewish National Home in Palestine,'" the British Trade Union Congress meeting in Blackpool unanimously adopted a resolution in which it urged Great Britain" to carry out its obligations under the Mandate ©nd open wider the doors of Palestine to the Increasing army of Jewish refugee wandering over the face of Europe In search of a home. The resolution referred to Italian proposals for facilitating Jewish settlement in Ethiopia but characterized that country "as obviously unsuitable for colonization." Deplores Oppression The Trade Union Congress deplored the continued oppression of Jews which, it said, has been "greatly Intensified by th© appalling peifeecution in Austria and accentuated by the expulsion of Jews from Italy.". In view of these circumstances, the Trade Union Congress declared that It is more imperative than ever that, "opportunities: for th© admission of Jewish refugees into Palestine be created In accordance with the principle of-tbe absorptive capacity ot the country." The following is the text of. the resolution adopted by the British, Trade Union Congress: "The British Trade Union Congress, expresses its profound "sympathy to the victims of Fascism who, owning to their religion, politics and race, have been driven from their homes to seek refuge in more hospitable countries and expresses its abhorrence of the continuance of the repression of Jews. The tragedy of German Jewry has been intensified by the appalling persecution in Austria and accentuated- by the expulsion of Jews from Italy. Fascist governments have accompanied this repressive policy with fostering Arab opposition to the Jewish National Home in Palestine. Under these circumstances it feas become more urgent than ever that Great Britain carry out her obligation under the Palestine Mandate. The Italian proposals for facilitating Jewish settlement in Abyssinia which Is. obviously unsuitable for colonization, makes It more imperative than ever that opportunities for the admission of Jewish refugees into Palestine be created in accordance with the absorptive capacity of the country."

Toscaninl in December 1936, had given a total of 175 concerts during the two years of its existence, with audiences totalling more than 270,000 persons. A number of leading Jewish musicians from Austria have joined the Palestine Sym phony Orchestra.
Urge Doctors to Consider Refugee Problem in U. S. Chicago (JTA) — "Careful, sympathetic consideration" of the problem of refugee Jewish physicians waB asked by the Journal of the American Medical Association in an editorial -which warned of the "difficulties arising from economic stress" and "chauvinistic prejudices." • • : .

Melbourne (JTA) — The possibility that 5,000 Jewish Immigrants may be permitted to enter Australia during the current year was admitted officially to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. In reply to a query concerning rumors that the Australian Government was considering a more liberal policy on the question of Jewish immigration, the Interior Ministry issued the following statement: "The Australian Government has. agreed that during . the current year 5,000 is the approximate number in. all classes of Jew|3n applicants which might be possibly approved. This estimate does not apply particularly to refugees, but would also include Jews whose admission was applied for; by guarantors in Australia." .The statement reveals a modification In the Government's previous attitude, since permits issued in all categories had never exceeded 1,000 in a yean It is believed the Government's plans envisages admission of 50,000 Jewish immigrants during the nest two years. Coincident with this disclosure, the Australian Jewisk •Welfare Society issued an sppsal to Australian Jewry to raisa $250,000 to .meet the problems of increased immigration.
