In his fiisl speech after his inauguration as vice-iiresidcnl made in Chicago on March 17, UM5, IVesident Truman made a strong Plea for religious toler¬ ance. He said '"bigotry and in¬ tolerance are the munitions of our enemies. Evil doctrines of .discrimination frequently im¬ ported from igangster nations plague certain areas in America. Racial and religious Intolerance is being preached here by agents of 'our enemies as well as by In¬ nocent victims of their propa¬ ganda".
Truman warned against the enemy doctrine of divide and rule and said that the after-ef¬ fects of the poison of Intolerance would long circulate In the na¬ tion's bloodstream unless It were resolutely opposed.
NMW VORK (WNS)—The .sudden death of President Roose¬ velt, wliose friendship for the Jewish people translated Itself in deed as well as In word,threw the Jewish community in Amer¬ ica in deep mourning.
Throughout the country, lead¬ ers of American Jewry Joined lite nation in mourning the death of the President and in paying tribute to his statesman¬ ship, to his leadership and to bis humanltarianlsm.
Dr. Stephen S. Wise, a personal friend of the President, declared In a htalement to the pre.s.s:
"The loss Is too great to be measured In words. His achieve¬ ments had made an immortal ol . him in his own lifetime. Alas, death makes him take his place with those Immortals who have wrought most for human free¬ dom. I said of him after his re¬ cent re-election that ho was the frle.nd of man. History claims- him, ^freedom sings his requiem, but he belongs to us. Above all the Jewish people have never known a more understanding friend, who sorrows over their oppressions and misfortunes and who sought with ail his strength to bring about a new world where justice to Jews would be Inevitable and the Jewish peo¬ ple would lie i-estored in their ancient home".
Judge Joseph M. Proskauer, president of the American Jew¬ ish Comrfiittee, stated "Presi¬ dent Roosevelt's tragic death at this critical time brings tragic death not only to everyone of his stricken countrymen, but to citizens of every nation which is fighting for freedom and de¬ cency aganst barbarism and in¬ humanity". The President, de¬ clared. Judge Proskauer, "led superbly In many fields of hu¬ man aspiration, but above all he was a warrior for the prin¬ ciples of fraternity on which our Bill of Rights is based, and an indomitable foe of intolerance and blgo|r.y. We mourn his loss as a cjfamplim in^ the age-old struggle to cri^ate a common brotiierhood
