NKW YORK (.IPS)—Taking issue with' Zionist leaflers. who havo riesiTibed Ihe White Paper as a "remnant of the appease- liiept IJolicy of the Chamberlain (iovernment", Pierre Van Paas- ¦.son. noted author, declared that Iho While Paper was jjart of a -s^'homo fta' a new Asiatic anti- Comintern act, anti "Is the be¬ ginning, the initial measure In a no\v imperj.-dist |K?lic,v."
In accordance with this policy .\Ir. Van Paiissen charges in an article in The Protestant, a mon¬ thly. ";m Arab Federation is to bo the nucleus of some'sort of a new tmll-Comlntern movement of ihc Asiatic borderlands of the Sov.iet Union". The scheme looks for the ellinination of "the democratic fennent of .lewisli Palestine", for tho curtailment of I-'ronch Influence, and involve¬ ment of the United Slates in "tho dcfcn.se" of the Hrilish Empire by means of the Saudi Arabian oil concessions. lie says.

Vim Paassen ivarns the .lews not (o he per¬ suaded by assurances, hy "refer¬ ences to a miraculous jx'ace con¬ ference that will settle all the ills of manltlnd, the Jewish, problem included". He believes' that "if the Jewish people and their friends accept this 'provis- ionary' solution or rather that postpcmement of an open discus¬ sion by the rightful and compe¬ tent authorities of tho Paiestijie question, the fate of the Jews is settled now". He' stated that "it isn't true thai former White Papers were abrogated" and as¬ sorted that "Palestine feels their effect 10 this very clay".

It is. therefore, to do hon¬ or lo his having joined the arm¬ ed forces of our country, and to express appreciation for his fine services as Rabbi of the Hroad Street Temple, that this cam¬ paign is being launched. First, to enroll every member of the Hroad Street Temple, and sec¬ ond, lo enroll others in the com¬ munity who may want to join the Zionist Distritt as part of the 'Chaplain Nathan 'Zelizer' class.
