The press did not pay suffi¬ cient attention to a study di¬ rected by Arnold Forster, Na¬ tional Director of the Legal .De- I)arlment" for the Antl-Defama¬ tlon League This study was
' based on an analysis ot 150 German language newspapers in this country. .Forster says that "the major portion of the German press in America main- taiiis. that fasciism has been more prevalent in the Roose¬ velt Administration and Tyu- ihan Administration than in Hitlerite Germany".. ..The De- troiter Abendpost tor instance published only recenUy such xihoice items as "The Attorney General of New York Nathaniel L. Goldstein, requests that the state privileges of the Ku Ktux Klan be taken away... .If we were named 'Nathaniel L. Gold¬ stein' we would do exactly the same".. ..Another typical item reads "in a newspaper we saw a picture from Paris 'Secretary Byrnes and his advisor, 'Ben Cohen', this explains a lot of our so-called foreign policy"... We agree fully with Arnold For¬ ster that "Democracy, world peace, and the U. S, Govern¬ ment are today once again tak¬ ing a beating in the pages' of the,, .Qermaji-Atiterican  press"..

NEW YORK (WNS)—A reso¬ lution expressing confidence in the ipadershlp of Dr. Ab'ba Hil¬ lel Silver, ZOA president, was adopted here this week by the national executive pf the Zion¬ ist Organization of America.
The meeting, an all night closed session at which the gen¬ eral Zionist situation was thor¬ oughly discussed, approved a resolution rejecting the "impu¬ tation conveyed, in the tenden- tlou.s and harmful reports that Dr. 'Silver and the masses of American Zionists whom he leads represent an 'extremist' position in contrast with the allegedly 'moderate' position of the Jewish Agency executive." The resolution also expressed regret over '^the equally unwar¬ ranted sXiggestion that he or we are motivated by anti-British sentiment."
At the same lime the ZOA ex¬ ecutive gave approval to a res¬ olution warning Britain against permitting the former Mufti of Jerusalem to participate in the forthcoming London round-tab- ble talks on Palestine. The reso¬ lution staled the ZOA was "pro¬ foundly shocked at the pj-ess report's that the British Govern¬ ment is agreeing to permit the participation in the projected Conference on Palestine of Had] Amin el Husseinl, the ex-Muftl of Jerusalem, the Nazi agent andv.co-ihstlgator. of ..the mass-

A resolution reaffirming the official program of the Zionist movement, calling for free entry of Jews into Palestine and th'e establishment of Palestine as "a Jewish Commonwealth with full equality of rights and sta¬ tus for all its Inhabitants," (le- clared that "this program has been adopted and ratified by the highest instances of the World Zionist movement and has been approved by the over¬ whelming majority of American Jewry" and that "the official Zionist position has never been reversed or modified by any World Zionist conference or Zionist Congress empowered to make valid decisions touching iiasic Zionist policy and princi¬

DR. SCHWARTZ, J. D. C. EUROPEAN. DIRECTOR IB WINNER OP AWARD
BOSTON (WNS)—The only Zionist iMdy "competent to re¬ vise the basic Zionist program is the Congress of thp World Zion¬ ist Organization," r. Abba Hil¬ lel Silver, chairman of the American • Zionist Emergency Council and president of the Zionist Organization of Ameri¬ ca, said in a statement" carried in the Boston Traveler this week.
Referring to the recent re¬ ports In the public press that the J ewish Agency has pro¬ posed the partition of Palestine into "two states, one Arab and One Jewish, Dr: Silver said that "between sessions of the World Zionist Organization only the Actions Committee has author¬ ity to act for the movement and that body has not yet met to discuss this matter and has not authorized any proposals as were   reported   ih   the   press,"
Dr. Silver feraphasized that his criticism of British policy should nbt tie  interpreted as anti-Brit¬ ish.  "We  all have the highest regard for the people of Great Britain,  for the lilgh  concepts and stai^dards of democracy and law which they llS'Ve achie'ved, and for the. coujralge and bravery of theirs fightliig men..Bui-meh' 'wnbT-liaves'flfeMoiWSairid^'fustltiej'X 'vvho,-.' like ''lia ' are' fighting for:' the right of aft ancient.and hon-., 'bfable people -wlilch have suf¬ fered so much to find poaOe at . last in its historic home, can¬ not help but record that their present government is pursuiqg a  woefully  wrong-headed  and dangerously   blundering   policy ta regard to Palestine of which • they, themselves, loyal to their tradition, cannot approve.
Aslied to comment on the re¬ cent charges that the officials of the State Department have consistently frustrated Ameri¬ can policy on Palestine Dr, Sli¬ ver said; "Unlortlinately Crum's charges are all too true-it by American policy is meant the ott repeated public statements of the Presidents of the United States. There has long been a record o/'amazlng and Ijewilder- Ing InconBTuities between what the President says and what the State Department does. We refuse to accept the alternative that the President and the State Depariment have a tacit under¬ standing to give the Jews of the United States a run around."
