THE  FREEDMAN   CASE...
We had a chat with Benjam¬ in Hari'tson Freedman who sign¬ ed    llio    anti-Zioni.st    advertise-, mcnl.s    of    "Tlie    League    For Peace With .lustice in Palestine" as  "Representative of  Coopera¬ ting    Persons    of    the    .lewish Faith". .Freedman   is   a   rather loquacious husiness-man   ...   He seems well off and is convinceil that   he   is   helping   the   .Jewish cause..He  told  us;  "1   have   11)0 million   dollars  at   my   thsposal to   placi!   refugees   in   countries out.sido of I'ak'stine". .\Vhen we asked   him   which   countries   he hesitated  and   then   blurted  otit that   there   were   several   coun¬ tries willing to ttiUe in .lews    . ¦  I^auline Schoendorf who signed the advertisement as "ilepresen- tative of Cooperating I^ersons of the   Christian   i''aith"   is   Freed- man's    mother-in-law... .H.    II. F'reedman   is   fi.rml.v   convinced that he is worliing in the inter¬ est of the .Jews by barring their way   lo   Palestine. .Honest   peo¬ ple  under  the spell  of a  hallu¬ cination    are    more   dangerous than  scoundrels.. .The   100  mil¬ lion    dollars     Freedman     talks about are nothing but air liul)- bles and Henjamin should think twice    before    continuing    his stooge game for (he British-Ar- ab-Imperialist-Feuclal   combine.
