LONDON (WNS)—Condemning the lepiessive policy against Jews in Europe by Fascist powers which have also "festeied Aiab oppo*5i- tion to the Jewish National Home in Palestine," the Biitish Trade Union Congie-^s meeting in Black¬ pool unanimously fidopted a resolu¬ tion m which it uigcd Great Brit¬ ain to carry out lis obligations under the Mandate and open wider the doors of Palestine to the in¬ creasing army of Jewish refugees wandering over the face of Europe m seaich of a ^>me The lesolu- tion refeiredito Italian proposal-^ for facilitating Jewish settlement in Ethiopia bi\t chaiacteiized that countiy "as obviously ultisuitable for colonization."'
The Tiade Union Congress de- ploied the continued oppression of jews v^rhich, it said, has been "gieatly intensified by the appall¬ ing persecution in Auptiia and ac¬ centuated by the expulsion of Jews fiom Italy." In view of the^e cir¬ cumstances, the Trade Union Con¬ gress declared that it is more im- peiative'than ever that "opportun¬ ities for the admission of Jewish lefugees into Palestine be created in accoi dance with the principle of the absoiptive capacity of the couhtry." The following is the text of the resolution adopted by the Briti=;h Tiade Union Congress:
"The British Trade Union Con- gicss expiesses ita profound sym¬ pathy to the victims of Fascism "ttho, owing to their religion, politics nnd race, have been" jdiiven from their homes to seek lefuge m moie hospitable countries and expresses its abhonence of the con¬ tinuance of the lepreasion of Jews. The tragedy of German Jewry ha^ been intensified by the appalling persecution in Austria and accen¬ tuated by the expulsion of Jews fiom Italy. Fascist goveinments have accompanied thia lepicssive policy with fosteiing Arab opposi¬ tion to the Jewish National Home m Palestine. Under these circum¬ stances it has become more urgent than ever that Gipat Britain cairy out her obligation under the Palestine Mandate. The Italian pioposals for facilitating ^Tewish settlement m Abysainia which is <?bviously unsuitable for coloniza¬ tion, makes it more imperative than ever that oppoitunities for the ad mission of Jewish refugees into Pakstino be created in accoidance with the absoiptive capacity of the country."
I icno Van Piiasseii Pieiio Van Paassen, woild-fam- 0U1 coi respondent, publicist and globe tibttci, who^ie comments and aiticlei have appealed frequently in columns of the Chronicle, will addiess the fitst open meeting of the Broad Rt Templ^ IVj^'i Club this Svin^ajf evening', 'Sept 18, at B o'clock, at tho Temple audito»ium Hi-^ lecture will be open to the public He has chosen us his sub¬ ject "The new world ciisis and the Jew."
Mr. Van Paassen is n well-known figuie in the ghettos of Europe, and Js one of the few' non-Jews who 13 an honoiaiy cituen of Tel- Aviv He passed into the heails of the Jewish people of the woild with his courageous stand against government indifference and'intii- gue in Palestine duiing the iiots of 1929.
In Febiuary and Maich, 1933, Mr. Van Paassen visited Germany and was ariested by the Nazis on the Suspicion of aiding seveial Jews in esc&pmg fiom the Hitler¬ ite house of|bondage. Eveiy news- papei using hi*? aiticles in Amei¬ ica haa been bailed fiom ei^try into Geimany on the giound that ['Van Fasscn if? a Dutch Jew, whn, IsCfa'a false Jiimife, and whoe^-i^jii- name," according to the Angriff "is ?mchus Pascovitz, nn ex- Rabbi from the Ukraine" In ad¬ dition to Glossing and le-crosging Germany since the Hitler reglnie came into power, Mr. Van Pasaen visited the Soviet Union several times for a study of Jewish con¬ ditions.
His rise in newspaper work was rapid. Feature ^vrlter for the De¬ troit News and the Atlanta Con¬ stitution, successively, he was called to New York by the pub¬ lishers of thc late New York Woild, who after a short period in the metiopolltan area, sent him to Europe as featuie writer and columnist for the Evening World He was the personal gueat of Ben¬ ito Mussolini for thiee weeks and touted the country of fascism in the company of the Duce's biothei, Arnaldo.
