E A C E TH E PEO PLE W A N T E D . . . . Once
again oppressed Jews from destroyed
homes brought their case before the world.
In the United States progressive trade un-
ionists took a firm stand of support for
those Jews who desired to rebuild their lives
in Palestine. Actively and courageously they
joined in the fight. Above we see the United
Committee to Save the Jewish State, spon-
sored by the Jewish Peoples Fraternal Order.
AS ALW AYS, where the people push forward, reaction pushes backward. The smell
of oil profits was too great. Wall Street and the British imperialists wouldn’t give up.
Their hired stooges among the Arab leaders danced to the tune of guns and bidiets.
But, this time the Jews fought back in a Symphony of Freedom!
IN ALL FORMS and from all corners of the globe came support. The workingmen
of Poland, France, Hungary, Rumania, the Soviet Union and the United States gave
gladly.
Our own Jewish Peoples Fraternal Order continued its vigorous aid, and included
seven completely equipped ambulances as a part of their contribution.
Pictured at left and reading from left to right are Z. J. Friedman of Red Mogen
