'FRIDAY, MAY 2, 1947 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE THREE 'Some Thousands' Of Immigrants Slated For Canada Says Partition Is 'Only Solution For Palestine Trouble The spectacle of Arab leaders preaching democracy and the Soviet Union courting these "bankrupt fascist rulers" demonstrated the "unspeakable cynicism" surrounding the special United Nations session on Palestine, Rabbi Aaron M. Kamerling, director of the Hillel Foundation at the Uni- ity of bin fy B'nai Brith Lodge ht. ne Partition Only geivion __, Sugges that partition be the tine solution 'under present conditions, Kamerling de- cried the fact that while Arab states were continuously lobbying for support at the U.N. session Jewish representatives had no op- ortunity to present their case. "There is a bankruptcy of inter- national morality in the post-war " he dec . © Rabbi Ramerling pointed Lb Jae rd of Arab spokesmen, by had been associated with Nazi intrigue. The present pre- mier of Iraq had been responsible for sending a division of Arabs tc join the Brownshirts in Yugosla- via during the Nazi campaign there he said. Arab rulers were responsible for the illiteracy of "90 per cent of the Arab masses and yet Russia, herald- ed 'as the "champion of the under. dog," might conceivably align it- self with such feudal elements in order to "frighten" Britain and America, Rabbi Kamerling asserted Violence and Terrorism Turning to the wave of terrorism which has broken out in the Holy Land, he warned against any at- tempt to associate violence with the legitimate claims on the part of the Jews. "We should not permit that vio- lence to be used as a pretext for destroying the legitimate claims of the Jewish people in Palestine," Rabbi Kamerling emphasized. "Ac- tivities of the Irgun and Stern ex- tremists have been disavowed by responsible Jewish leaders." Some observers questioned the propriety of Jewish claims on the of "democratic procedure," declaring that the will of the Arab majority in Palestine should pre- vail, the speaker pointed out. "If this point of view is accepted then the mandate was a fraud and so was the Balfour Declaration," Rabbi Kamerling charged. "It was the intent of the mandate that the Jews should eventually constitute a majority." last + International Issue He described this week's U.N, ses- sion on Palestine as the culmination of a half-century of Zionist striv- ing to give the Jews equal rights with other people. The first Zion- ist Congress at Basle in 1897 had brought Jewish problems into the political arena to be debated in the open and now the crucial Palestine problemn was being discussed as an international issue. Rabbi Kamerling cited instances . in Jewish history when faith and untiring effort had combined to brighten future prospects. Even at the height of the crisis, Jews should not despair, "I'm no pessimist," he said "Nothing is permanent in the char- acter of international relations Change takes place. The faith of the Jews in the future is justified." Rabbi Kamerling was introduced by Charles King, Chairman of the meeting was President M. H.

Toronto, told members of ® Antin Hlynka Speaks Here On Sunday One of the youngest members of the Canadian House of Commons, Antin Hlynka, will visit Oshawa on Saturday and Sunday, May 3-4. During his stay the Honourable Member will address a mass rally of Ukrainians in Oshawa and dis- trict at the Ukrainian National Hall on Sunday afternoon. Mr, Hlynka will speak to a meet- ing called by the Oshawa Branch of the Ukrainian Canadian Commit- tee upon the subject "The trials of life for the Ukrainians in Displaced Persons Camps in Europe and how we can aid them." Mr. Hlynka is now in his second consecutive term in the House of Commons at Ottawa as Social Cre- dit member for Vegreville, Alberta. On the occasions of his address- es to the house, Mr. Hlynka has brought to the members problems which are now readily acknowledged since the re- cent spy trials of Russian espion- age through Canadian agents. Mr. Hlynka has also urged the members of the house to open wide the doors of immigration and larg- ely through his efforts and untir- ing labor the government has somewhat eased restrictions on im- migration, This mass rally will be the cli- max to a week-end of commemora- tion by Ukrainians across Canada of the union of all Ukrainian lands in Europe into one liberty-seeking unit during the heroic days of the struggle for independence of the Ukraine at the conclusion of the First Great War. Though this struggle was fated to be an un- successful one, nevertheless the ef- forts to gain freedom as one whole Ukraine is cherished in the memor- ies of Ukrainians everywhere. As a tribute to that struggle the Ukrainian Canadian Committee will present a grand concert on Saturday, May 3, in the evening with the Oshawa Ukrainian choir presenting choral numbers under the direction of Stanley Mozewsky.

By JOHN DAUPHINEE Canadian Press Staff Writer London, May 1--(CP)--Lack of exports is as great a threat to Brit- ish rations as the submarine. The shadow of Hunger lurks be- hind cold statistics that shipments overseas show no spectacular gains and that 1947 trading accounts will show a £350,000,000 defict and an even bigger gap in the dollar coun- tries where most food must be bought. : The United Kingdom is nearing the time when exports must be paid for with exports. And Labor gov- ernment spokesmen have,emphas- ized the nation's belt will be pulled tigher, rather than ask for more financial assistance abroad. "We haven't reached the limit of austerity yet," said a Downing Street, official when asked what will happen when the Canadian and American loans run out. "If our exports aren't high enough by then to pay for-today's quantity of food imports, we'll just have to cut them down. "There still can be some reduction before we hit rock-bottom." As soon as supplies increase, says Sir Stafford Cripps, president of the Board of Trade, the United Kingdom "must try to get back to purchases in soft currency or Ster- ling markets." Negotiations have been started with European count- ries for their food surpluses. Canada Helps But a large share of the bread, meat, bacon, cheese and egg rations comes from Canada and the Unit- ed States and there is no prospect that adequate supplies can be found elsewhere in the near future. Even with dollars no particular problem, the bacon ration' has been cut this year, the meat ration is threatened and the bread ration--imposed ori- ginally for a few months--is likely to continue indefinitely, Latest problem for the Food Ministry is the worst winter in 50 years, delaying farm work so much British Export Lack Torpedoing Rations 4 | that a depleted labor force cannot catch up, and killing more than 1,000,000 sheep and lambs that would have gone into the meat ra- tion later this year. Agriculture Minister Tom Wil-| liams wanted 2,500,000 acres of wheat in 1947, 500,000 more than | last year. Even with the higher | prices announced this spring, the target will not be reached. A Nation Farmers' Union spokes- man termed the situation "very grim." British agriculture is short of time, labor and machinery. The long-term program calls for more home produced milk, meat, eggs, and bacon and less wheat and oth- er grains, That will save the coun- try money since grain imports for feeding animals will cost less than the finished product. But boost- ing the livestock population takes time and the Canadian and Am- _erican loans will probably run out early next year. Shortage of dollars may reduce still further the carefully-balanced but monotonous British diet.

The "railroad" was used td haul supplies from a nearby branch line to the campus boiler room but the "Dinkey" engine broke down and now a truck will be used.

RETIRES Detroit, May 2. -- (AP)--Retire- ment of Oliver H. Clark, 65, as ex- ecutive engineer of Chrysler Cor- poration was announced today by Fred M.

Clark, who joined the Chrysler Engineering Division when it was organized in 1925, was appointed to his present position 10 years later. v in a 2,000-word statement in which he placed before the Commons & review of government thought on immigration and said that because of existing circumstances the pres. ent policy had two aspects, a series of measures designed for immediate application and a long-term pro- gram, He said the government was sends ing immigration officers to Europe to examine the situation among re- fugees groups and take steps "look ing towards the early admission of some thousands of their number." At the same time, Be shioiiced the passage of an er-in-counc! allowing all married relatives of Canadians who are admissible under current regulations to bring thelr families to Canada with them. Up to now, these peoples have been allowed to come only singly or alone after their Canadian relatives guaranteed them, Mr. King touched also on Oriene tal immigration, announcing the government had no intention of re= vamping its policy to permit any large-scale influx from the Orient and reiterating a wartime declara~ tion that no Japanese immigration would be allowed in the years after the war. He asseted that Canada ecognisme ed the "right" of all other coun= tries to control the entry or non-en= try of persons seeking to become permanent residents and said the Dominion claimed "precisely the same right for our country." However, the government. was pres pared "at any time" to enter into negotiations with other countries for special agreements for the cons trol of admission of immigrants "on a basis of complete equality and re=- ciprocity." Questioned by opposition mems bers, Mr. King said he could not ine dicate at this time how many immie grants would come to Canada under the short-term policy, This may be disclosed later, Of the plan to admit refugees, he said the Labor ent and the immigration of the Resour ces Department would determing jointly the "approximate number" who could be readily placed in eme ployment in various industries and occupations. The prime minister listed the cae tegories of persons admissible bo Canada, and continued: -- - "It is the intention of the gove ernment, under present circumstan= ces, to have the regulations so ade ministered that British subjects from the United Kingdom, Ireland Newfoundland, New Zealand, Ause tralia or the Union of South Africa and citizens of the United States who ' desire to enter Canada will only be required to meet certain standards of health and character, and to show that they are not likely to become public charges." per dollar.
