To the Editor, Jewish Daily Bulletin:

To one who has contributed his mite to establish an accord between the Revisionists and the Labor Zionist group, the despatch, in today’s issue and Mr. Smolar’s editorial correction of it, is interesting.

The prospects of an extension of the truce or even the creation of a working agreement is not impossible provided the real mischief makers are carefully kept in the background and their propaganda ignored. I am referring to the extremists in both parties. They will fight out their battles with their own leaders and probably be defeated in their own ranks.

There is, however, a group in the Zionist ranks that does not want peace, it is annoyed with the present agreement and will resent its extension. Playing the role of neutrals, such Zionists find there is some difficulty now in explaining the dire prophecies and charges which they supported. Hence the “red herring” rumor of a Weizmann-Jabotinsky leadership.

THE GOEBBELS JOB

To the Editor, Jewish Daily Bulletin:

It seems that Herr Goebbels is trying to undertake a task even greater than the one shouldered by his master. Hitler prophesied that Nazism in Germany will last a thousand years. Thanks to his “genius.” Goebbels is trying to outdo his leader by attempting to accomplish an economic extermination of all Jews in the world. He will do it, he claims, the way he did in his native Germany—a gigantic bite which can easily strangle the swallower.
