The refugee problem is one far which the United States assumed responsibility when we entered the war, Senator Edwin C. Johnson, Colorado Democrat, declared here last night at a press conference, preceding the Washington presentation of the pageant “We will Never Die” commemorating the murdered Jews of Europe.
Senator Johnson, who is the chairman of the Committee for a Jewish Army and a sponsor of the pageant, said he was interested in seeing “Jews raised to the dignity of a nation”. He expressed the opinion that they could overcome their position as a scape-goat minority group if they “could raise their voice in the family of nations against injustice to their own race. The creation of a Jewish State in Palestine, he said, is one of the ways to lay a basis for a permanent peace.
