Jewish leaders in the South
east gathered in Atlanta this
week-end and planned a $100,
000,000 campaign to aid displac
ed persons in Europe, Ralph
1 McGill, editor of the Atlanta
Constitution, who recently com
l)le'ed a tour of Europe and
Palestine, told the meeting that
objections to Jewish migration
iiito Palestine are “ridiculous."
McGill said that the Jews and
Arabs there get along fine and
are working in harmony to devel
op the country, until “outside"'
influences step in and fan ra
cial hatred. "If there was no
P°wer politics between Great
Britain and Russia, there would
be no Arab-Jewish trouble in
Palestine" he said.

“Power politics" has been and
will be the seat of much of the
world’s troubles. The only solu
tion to this whole matter is for
UNO to step in, work out a pro
gram that all nations w*U back,
and remove the necessity for one
big power to fear another big
power.
“Power politics" like certain
diseases physicians have been
unable to find a preventive for,
is the curse of the world.
But physicians are 'making
progress in finding the cause for
certain dreaded diseases Even
tually, just as they found how
to prevent malaria, they will
find how to prevent flu. can
cer and other unsolved diseases.
And Dr. UNO, if given full
backing by all nations will even
tually find the “specific” that
will prevent “power politics.”
It may take time—no doubt
it will—for Dr. UNO must solve
a ' disease” that has cursed the
world for many ages. So far, it
seems that diplomatic circles
know but one way to “protect"
their countries and that is by
resorting to "power politics."
Dr. UNO is just entering the
“interne" stage and is not yet
a full-fledged physician.
But he shows promise and
should be encouraged, aided and
helped by all liberty, peace lov
ing nations.
+
Secretary Byrnes, speaking
Saturday night, did a lot to
encourage UNO. He stated
very simply that America con
siders UNO as the only way to
world peace. He also said, quite
bluntly, that America would not
enter any alliance with Great
Britain or any other nation.
Uncle Sam will place her full
faith tn UNO and is prepared to
back the organization to the
limit.

WASHINGTON.—(A*)—The idea of
a six-week compromise extension
caught tlae fancy of some Senators
today as pressure grew for keeping
the draft alive.
Selective Service now ts nuc to
expire May 15. The six-week peri
od would carry It to July j.
With the Senate Military Com
mittee set for a full dress review
of the subject tomorrow, there were
these developmnts:
1. Secretary of State Byrnes add
ed his pleas te those of President
Truman and top Army officers
when he told a New York audience
Saturday night that this country
needs military strength f o support
the principles of the United Na
tions. He said "the situation will
become critical" unless the draft is
extended.
2. Members of the House Military
Committee disposed secret- testi- j
raony of War Department officials!
that the Army might fall to only
to rely solely on voluntary
ments after May 15. That is a half
million men below the Army's goal.
3. Twenty six House members
joined in sponsoring a resolution
calling for a special study of the
draft question by a Senate-House
-Committee.
Some members of me dale Mili
tary Committee mentioned the six
week’extension, saying privatlv they
thought it would give ‘lie Army
enough men, taken with volunteers,
to meet its interim needs.
Th July 1 date would permit the
induction of youth presently de
fer.ed to finish the current school
teim and would provide time lor
Congress to transfer job right pro
fusions of tIre* Selective Service A, t
