A Letter From
Captain Weinstein
A letter fi'om Bataan reached
Julian Boehm this week from Cap
tain Alfred Weinstein, of the Med
ical Corps, written on March 21.
Captain Weinstein was heard
from on the Island of Cebu on
April 9, but no word has come
through concerning his fate.
"My Dear Julian,” he wrote.
‘‘Here goes and 1 hope that this
letter will get to you. Out here in
Bataan the first d*ay of spring has
arrived, bringing to me memories
of peach blossom time in South
Georgia and the impending beauty
of the dogwood season in Atlanta.
"In these jungles there are no
such harbingers of spring; the
flowers have no odor; the birds no
$ ng. The only music is the not too
distant roar of huge guns and the
sharp crack of antiaircraft bursts.
"We are all feeling fine, I espe
cially am in better condition,
tougher and hungrier than 1 have
ever been in my life. Not a scratch
has marred my manly-?-beauty
(knock on wood), although I have
had some interesting experiences
which I shall relate to you person
ally on my return to Atlanta
“Food, shelter and clothing is
adequate under the circumstances.
I still w’nigh 17? oounds and eat
with much re’’ h We are called to
ehow by the clanging of an old
Irying pan. the call of which
brines us cut in a rush.
“The morale is high and every
body feels we have the Nips sty
mied. We are anxious to get back
to Manila and re-establish regular
mail and telegraph connections
with the states.
“I am very eager to receive news
fgom you and my friends.”
Between You and Me

brew was established at Harvard
in 1655 . . . Shortly after the Dec
laration of Inpendence, a commit
tee composed of Benjamin Frank
lin, John Adams and Thomas Jef
ferson, first recommended for the
design of the seal of the United
States a picture of the Israelites
crossing the Red Sea, and of Pha
raoh and his legions perishing
when they attempted to follow . . .
It has beep suggested that the
structure of the American Gov
ernment was inspired by the old
Hebrew Commonwealth composed
of an elective magistrate, a Coun
cil of elders known as the Sanhe
drin, and the General Assembly of
the people . . . This was said to
correspond to the threefold divis
ion of the American Government |
which includes a President, the
Supreme Court, and the Congress
... These and other interesting
facts on early Jewish history in :
America can be found in the book
let "Americans All" published in
Chicago by the Anti-Defamation
League of the B’nai B’rith.

tion. “Nothing else,” he conclud
ed, "would give full satisfaction to
the movement."
In connection with the formation
of a Palestinian regiment, the fol
lowing questions arise which de
mand an answer:
1. Why did the British Govern
ment wait almost three years to
undertake this step, while the Jews
of Palestine, the stateless Jews and
the Jewish friends all over the
world were clamoring for a Jewish
Army constantly?
2. Why one regiment instead of
ten divisions? Why 2,000 or 4,000
instead of 100,000 or 200,000.
3. Why this anonymous name,
‘Palestinian units,” instead of
“Jewish units" or Jewish Army—
thus acknowledging candidly and
honestly the right of the Jews who
were the first victims of Hitler’s
aggression, to fight the cruelest
enemy of their people and of hu
manity, under their own flag and
their own symbol?
The only answer that common
sense and experience command is
—the British Colonial Office is
continuing along the old Munich
line of appeasement on the one
hand, and on the other, the Singa
pore line of “too little and too
late."
But the leaders of Great Britain,
and especially the great inspirer
and animator of democratic hu
manity, Winston Churchill, should
know bettor than anyone else, that
this war cannot be won by half
hearted decisions and by half
measures. This war can be won
only by the full mobilization of
the human spirit, of every whit of
human energy, and of every gust
of human heroism-
Although rejecting entirely and
completely this concession on be
half of the British, we welcome it
as a dim glimmer of understand
ing. The Jewish Army Committee
is determined to spare no efforts
in order to achieve the full mobili
zation of public opinion for the
materialization of the Jewish Ar
my demand, because it is convin
ced that only under constant and
ever-mounting pressure of public
opinion in the United States, and
in Great Britain, will the liberal
minded in the British Cabinet ever
gain the top hand over the ap
peasers.
The Committee is convinced that
now, since the cause for the Jew
ish Army has moved from its init
ial phase, the day is not far away
when its final purpose will be at
tained—a full-fledged Jewish Ar
my of stateless and Palestinian
Jews, 200,000 strong, to fight un
der Allied Command, in concert
with all other peoples, for the rid
dance of civilization from the ma
rauding Nazi hordes and for the
freedom of the world.
