POST-WAR FREEDOM
DECLARATION BY CHIEF RABBI. (By Telegraph—Press Association— Copyright) LONDON, June 15. “The historic heritage of each religious, racial or national group must be shielded against oppression so that every human being is assured of a full share in the four freedoms—freedom of faith and of speech, from want and from fear,” said the Very Rev. J. H. Hertz, Chief Rabbi of the British Empire, speaking in Luton today. Referring to the attitude of the Jews toward the principles of post-war settlement, he said that, without subscribing to any ideals and implications of a doctrinal character in the pronouncement of Pope Pius 12th and the heads of the Churches in England, the Jews solemnly endorsed their fine pleas of a primacy of the spiritual in the life of men and of nations as well as their reaffirmation of the absolute reality of the everlasting distinction between right and wrong in human conduct, and are, furthermore, in ful accord with the ideals of social righteousness and international peace in those pronouncements.”
